Explain How Football Has Made Me A Good Thing In My Life

Everything happens for a reason. Everyday I am constantly learning things to improve myself in life. Whether it’s learning a new technique of making up my bed faster or planning my day ahead in a notebook, nothing compares to all the skills i acquired from joining the football team. Everybody knows football isn’t an easy sport, but you don’t know how hard it is until you actually put those pads on. Since football is a team sport, you can’t win a game by yourself. I learn how to put my trust in others in order to win. I couldn’t show weakness, I had to pick up myself while encouraging my teammates to win the battle. It wasn’t easy as we’re competing with others who might have worked as hard as us. Luckily, practice during the week prepared

I wouldn't let my son/daughter play football for that reason that i'm not really into that sport. I would focus more on baseball or soccer, only because my dad used to play baseball and I play soccer. I know football is dangerous but if my son/daughter understands the positives and the negatives and explains to me in a five paragraph persuasive essay on why he/she wants to play. If the mother is okay with it also then he/she has a higher chance of playing. If my son/daughter doesn't want to play the sport I won't force them to play. For me, if my child wants to play a sport other than soccer and baseball then i would let him because it all about the active physical time.

A place where I feel perfectly content is on the football field. This is the place for me because when I am here it is just me and 10 of my "teammates" working together to achieve a common goal, to win. Being under the lights on Friday night with a whole town watching you is just an unearthly feeling. When I step onto the field it's more than just a game or a hobby it's a place to channel everything from that day, week, or even month to just come out not as a raw emotion but as aggression. I don't hear the crowd's roars or the referee's whistle, but just the sound of the quarterback as he says the cadence and the sounds of pads clashing together. The moment that the ball moves from the line is an opportunity to get further down the field to the end zone, closer to the goal of winning and taking the pride of being the better team, more prepared, and more aggressive on the field, and even being more disciplined off the field.

Over the years of my life I have matured greatly, I have matured in many different ways. Unlike my little brother who has a lot of maturing to go, in my thirteen years I have outgrown many activities that used to be funny. I have mature mentally while deer hunting and in my school work. I have also matured morally in the sports that I play.

Almost everyone faces setbacks, failures or something that has consequences that end up helping them. For me, this would be getting the starting spot for football from my competition. I had to work extremely hard to get it. It took so much time, effort, and hard work, but I eventually got it. Getting this starting spot in football has made me the person I am now. This is how it has affected me in life and how it has made the person I am today.

For the past few years, I have wanted to play football, however it has been decided that I shouldn’t for a few reasons, including a high injury rate, and the fact that our schedule is already so crammed. Although you, like many other parents, are particularly worried about me playing football, the negatives outweigh the positives.

The Fall of 2012 was absolutely perfect. My older brother made the football team at Coastal Carolina University as a walk on. It was such a fun experience for my family and me to go watch all of his games. However, that did not last as long as we expected due to a major injury he sustained. Sometime after the injury occurred, we got a call that changed our lives forever. My brother had been arrested and was in jail. The fun did not last long and he was not the only one who was tremendously affected.

I love the game of football, it is one of my favorite and many hobbies. But when it comes to playing in a game, well, I don’t do much of that. I am not as fast as most of the kids and I get scared to hit some of the other players. This doesn’t stop me from loving the game, I will play with my friends until my legs give out. I just wish I could start.

You've always supported me my whole life, everything I've asked for you've gotten it for me. You always have food on the table for us to eat. We never go to sleep hungry and Im thankful for that. You are always at my games, you get me everything I need for my games. You have been there for me all through high school motivating me to graduate and go to college to get away from here. You have made everything for me and my brothers easy for us and not burdensome. Y’all work hard everyday to provide us with the things we need and some of the things we want but don't need. I hope to go to an 4 year university and play football to make it to the National Football League. My dad was with me all my life on the field, he was always my coach, pushing

Every day I bring the same few things with me. I do not carry my entire life, but everything I do carry is basically a part of me. Without one piece, I feel incomplete and naked. I carry my wallet in my back pocket every day. I would describe it as my identity even though it only weighs under half of a pound. It holds my money and debit card which dictates almost all of my actions. It holds my ID and driver’s license which shows all of the attributes of myself and allows me to drive around in my car legally. Although, I could not drive without my keys. My keys stand as a symbol of my transportation as well as my home. My key ring holds the key to my house and also the key to unlock and start my car. It weighs around only 6 ounces, but the importance it has in my life is immense.

April 2, 2016, I found myself sitting alongside my brother and uncles in a 75,000 seat arena watching a basketball game in the NCAA Final Four tournament in Houston, Texas. Unlike most of the die hard basketball fans, I was there to watch my dad. For the past 8 years, my dad has been a Division I college basketball referee, and that night he received the honor of officiating one of the Final Four games. Flying around the country five months out of the year, my dad officiates over eighty games in a season. On occasion, I’ve had the opportunity to join him for the games that are close to home. Needless to say, his career has had a profound influence on me through the experiences, opportunities, and values that it has provided.

First, I had to accept that I didn’t make the football team. Reflecting on the past is not going to help me in the future. It was not easy, but it is the first step in trying to achieve success. Secondly, I had to understand why I failed. I asked the coaches why I didn’t make the team, and they gave me helpful advice on what I needed to work on. Lastly, I had to create a plan to help me achieve my goal because I didn’t want to give up. Plus, I wanted to make the football team in high school. So, I started exercising three times a week, practicing catching the football, even watching football drills. My plan is to continue these drills and exercising until high school football

I tired out for offensive line at the tackle position. And unlike most people in that spot, I was not over six foot nor over two hundred pounds. Since that position is for all intensive purposes, someone who is a wall for the other players on the team, it does not help to be smaller than the other guy. But I still had to try. So instead of trying to weigh more and get bigger that way, I decided the safer and better way to go would be to become faster than my competition. So as the preseason and practice went on, I worked on my speed as well as over all muscle mass. With enough effort, I was able to have a starting position. I was even able to, as the season progressed, to play multiple positions. Including tight end as well as gaining a spot on the front line of the kick return

Have you ever felt like you have been so far down and you just do not know how to get back up? Well I have, over these past two months it has been the worst times of my life. Just recently the doctor said I was not going to be able to play football this season. It sucks because I got moved up from freshman to the varsity team and I was looking forward to playing this year.

After a while however I began to notice my strength and stature were being wasted and my focus was redirected towards football. Throughout my years playing I have always been a relatively dominant player, often garnering attention from opposing coaches or talent camps. In my senior year of playing Football I began to yearn for a higher level of competition, a degree of difficulty that would allow for me to progress and develop as a player. I began to realize that this would only be achieved through playing the sport at a University level. Playing at this higher level of competition with peers of similar if not greater size and skill would only improve me overall as a player.This is yet another reason I strive to become a University student
