Due to this, he had to move to New Jersey to live with this Uncle Gus and Aunt Virginia who are not very supportive of his dreams. Ty is passionate about football and is very good at it too. He is the best player on his team and his brother now plays for the New York Jets NFL team. Ty’s speed on the field got him recruited by Coach V but his Uncle Gus will not let him play.

At this camp Danny’s friends are all in different groups, leaving him all alone. To make matters worse for Danny, all of the kids in his group are a lot bigger, faster, and skilled more than he is. This makes Danny start to regret coming to this camp. At the beginning of camp nothing is going right for Danny. His coach doesn't like him, his friends aren’t with him, and a boy named Rasheed Hill, whose team got beat by Danny’s team in the championship game

They both cried and he said it will be okay. “Win the championship this year for me buddy,” said his dad, “I will, I promise,” said James. After two months, football season started and they were facing the Florida Pirates. It was close, but the Rams managed to pull it off with a winning field goal. The rest of season was tough, the toughest season yet for James. In the last game they faced the Hawks again. If they win, they will be in the playoffs and face Alabama. This was James’ best game yet. He scored three touchdowns and ran for over two hundred yards. The Rams got their revenge and defeated the Hawks 35-21. They are going to the

It was a nice day so I wanted to see if my friends could play, I rode my bike to Alex and Tony’s house. I got to the door and rang the bell.

When they focus too much on football or whatever sport they are playing, than their grades falter, and they lose their chance to get a solid degree. One student that broke the trap that high school athletes fall into is Brian Chavez, a student at Permian High School in Friday Night Lights. “As the number-one student in his class, his aspirations extended far beyond the glimmer of expectation that a Texas school, any Texas school, might be willing to give him a football scholarship. He had set his sights differently, zeroing in on a target that seemed incomprehensible to his family, his friends, just about everyone. He wanted to go to Harvard” (Bissinger 13). Chavez is essentially the antithesis of all his peers and classmates; instead of making football the high point of his entire life, he values his future and education over the present glory of football. Despite being pressured into setting aside his future dreams in order to better the team, he does not fall into the trap his society had set for him. Chavez ended up enjoying Permien football as well as going to Harvard, so he is the prime example of how high school athletes should carry themselves. But unfortunately, it is extremely tough for most athletes in towns such as Odessa or Winthrop to do so. High school football encapsulates their entire lives, and the pressure put

Nate Brodie has a dream to meet Tom Brady and to win a million dollars. The only way he can accomplish this goal is with hard work and determination. So he starts by practicing everyday, all day he throws a football through a tire. He does this to work on his accuracy and so he knows he can do it. He also practices by being on the high school football team. There is so much on the line for him at the time. His parents are in financial trouble and his best friend is going to go blind if they don't get a surgery soon.

Tidewater Titans baseball team was at its highest peak and we had been unstoppable. Coach Derrick, Coach Tony, Coach Perry, and Coach Darren had all led the team to multiple championships that year. Ever since the beginning, there had always been a problem with Coach Derrick. He had always thought his kid, Grayson was better than the rest. Grayson had taken my position at shortstop in my batting position and the line up. I was left to second base the second less likely place the ball could get hit too.

Lights blaring into my eyes, the crack of the bat, the shouting of the overly-devoted parents, the salty aroma arising off of the freshly roasted peanuts, all came together to create the overwhelming presence of a little league baseball game. This was a place where I spent most of my time on week day afternoons, in the spring, watching my brother succeed at America’s pastime. He was really quite good at this sport called baseball; he had just been granted the position of starting pitcher for the team. Sometimes things that have occurred in my life, and stuff I have received, that I may not have necessarily deserve, can be taken for granted. However, after what was about to take place my eyes are given a new perspective.

“I just came out to play football,” Pead said. “It’s another preseason game. I’ve been having a good camp, and I just wanted to put something on film.”

“It's really one thing that my parents instilled since I was young,” he said. “They always taught me how to work hard and how to really just be the hardest worker on the field and off the field. So, that's really how I try to attack every day. I'm playing receiver now and haven't been doing it as long as some of the other guys. I felt that I was a little behind. I just had to work a little bit harder to get to where I am now and be the best that I can be.”

(I’ll never forget the first time I got myself involved in flag football or track ) I’ll never forget the first time I stepped onto the field to play my first flag football game. The smell of wet grass, the taste of plastic from mouthguards and the adrenaline rush going through my body. Hours and hours of practice just to perfect a route or run faster. Determined to be great and make great things happen. I was hooked and I still am today.

But as the lights went off and the world grew dark, Michael lingered on the gridiron until he was the last person left on the practice field. Looking around him to make sure no one was watching, he began to sprint up and down the field, pretending he was the starting running for the Texas Longhorns. He made sharp cut after sharp cut, juking imaginary defenders and stiff arming would-be tacklers. He celebrated his way toward the end zone, pretending that he won the championship for the Cowboys, his favorite team.

The sun was shining and birds were singing as the 8th graders of Adair Middle School lined up getting ready for tryouts. Memphis Range was the new kid in town. He stood at about 5’10 with a muscular frame. He had black hair like the brand new easton mako beast Memphis had got. The new Easton Mako beast was the bat every kid dreamed of having. Memphis was kid who loved the game of baseball and never dreaded a moment playing it. Levi Garrett was the other kid in town who was good at baseball. Levi on the other had was a rich kid in town and was always bragging. He thought he was the best player in town. Levi knew that with Memphis coming in he would have to find a way to put Memphis off his game to be able to be the starting

He tried out for every single sports team possible in middle school and didn’t ever make the first cut. One summer he called one of his friends to practice basketball, his friend practiced with him everyday of the
