1st day at football practice

I coach a football team and the first day of practice is always interesting. All of the players  are very diverse. I will refer to these students as 'athlete 1, athlete 2, and so on. Athlete one shows up with a gallon of water for himself and a gallon of water for everyone to share. Athlete 1 is very liked among his peers, obviously. He is very respected by his teammates, even though he doesn't get much playing time. During the first week of practice, he bought some new cleats. Athlete 1 was convinced his new footwear would make him run faster. He has already been one of the most improved player thus far. Athlete 2 likes to do a lot of trash talking on the field. He is made a good play at practice and started boasting. The other players weren't too fond of that. A few other players talked smack back to athlete 2.  After three of the players ganged up on him, he stopped talking smack for the rest of the day. Some of the athletes are very interesting to be around. they can be pretty funny at times. One instance, athlete 3 raised his hand multiple times to ask questions but forgot half of what he was going to ask. In these circumstances, it is hard to hold in  a laugh when they can't remember what they were going to ask. At one point athlete 3 raised his hand and when he was called on, responded with, 'Never mind, it was a dumb question so I won't ask it. This is just a small sample of the team I coach for the first week of practice. I'm sure there will be many other good observations for the rest of the season.
