“Go for it!” means you should not worry about failure or be too careful. You should take a chance, be brave, and act firmly.

  “Go for it!” gets name from football. Not football as it is played in most countries such as England, Egypt or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada.

  One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three attempts, to move the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a critical decision.
