My First Football Game Analysis

When I was younger, I was always interested in sports. I was usually at the top of my class in sports. I always dreamed that I would be the best at what I do. Even though things seemed hard, I would try my hardest even if things looked bleak. Football was my game and I played to the best of my ability.

Sports have been a huge part of my life ever since I was about five years old. It has impacted my life so much. The biggest challenge that I faced was with my injuries during basketball and soccer season. I recently had to quit soccer and basketball, which was difficult for me.

Football is a game of passion, a time when nothing else matters and the only thing that matters is going out there having fun and fighting for the guy next to you. Football has always been something that I loved and had a wild passion for. I’ve made friendships and memories to last a life time and I can always be grateful that football did that for me. Now of course I’ve had some bad memories during football as well, I remember walking out of the film room on the last day of spring ball and having Coach Antle grab me and say “Gage, I think I want to try you at a new position, I want to put you at defensive end. We need you more there and we think you can really excel there.” I remember being so furious, I had played linebacker ever since I could remember and now the last day of spring ball my senior year everything was about to change.

For the first time in 46 seasons, there were no Canadian teams in the NHL playoffs. The last time this occurred was 1969-1970 season where there were only 12 teams in the league and two from Canada being the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs. The league has grown to 30 teams (and is in the process of expanding), with seven of them being north of the border. Although there are only seven teams representing the red and white, it’ surprising to think that none of them qualified, considering that last season five out of the the seven teams were in playoffs (except for Toronto and Edmonton).

The first sport I was first introduced to was when I was seven years old, that sport was football. My family has always had a passion for football, every Sunday we would all sit down and watch all the games together. My mom’s favorite football team is the Patriots, and my dad is kind of a band wagoner. He used to like the Raiders but was too tired of loosing every week so he chose the Seahawks for this previous season. I fell in love with football the first game I saw, the big men crashing into each other and the running backs were the fastest runners I had ever seen. I just recently started to like hockey, I like the Ducks and go to a lot of their games with my boyfriend. I really like to watch contact sports, so sports like

When i got to the friday night varsity football game , I could tell I was late because it was already 7-7. But it was still the first quarter, and we had hope because if we lost, our season was over. But as usual, my dad gave me that look, and five dollars, meaning, get me a Coke and whatever you want with the rest. So I did what he said, but i'm glad because I saw my cousin, and once we got my dad his Coke, we played football and basketball with fourth graders. Time flies.

Last Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles opened up the 2016 regular season with a dominating 29-10 win over the Cleveland Browns. While much the talk after the game was about rookie quarterback Carson Wentz's impressive debut, the Eagles dominated the Browns in all three phases of the game.

Last year, the New York Islanders finished with their best regular season in 29 years, collecting 101 points at a 61.6% point percentage before bowing out in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs in a tough, hotly contested battle with the Washington Capitals.

I will be comparing two institutions that have had impact on my life. The football team on which I played and the military. These are the two “institutions” that have had a significant impact on the way I live my life, and how I make my decisions. In some ways a sports team is comparable to the military, in regards to the physical and mental aspects that are touched upon frequently in both.

When the idea of the sport analysis came about I thought it would be so fun and different because all I could think about is writing about a football event. Until, I realized that football season was over and the only sports that were in this season was basketball, tennis, hockey, and baseball that was actively happening in Gainesville, Florida. So, the event that I chose to do my sport analysis on is a little league basketball game. I am not a huge fan of basketball and I’m not too sure as to why but I think it’s because basketball is missing the tackling sounds that you will hear at a football game. I put my love for football aside to attend this game because one of my students from the boys and girls club plays on the game and wanted me

The most exciting day of the week for an athlete, the day of the first game, was suddenly upon us. I reminisce about proudly wearing my football jersey to school on that day, not concentrating on anything but the game. We were playing Oberon Middle School that Friday. All day long I couldn't concentrate on anything but playing football. Everything my teachers said in class was a blur. I didn't see anyone else in the hallways except for the guys in the blue and white jerseys. I was very anxious to begin play in the most significant game, perhaps the most significant event, of my life.

Most people may think of a football game as only two teams playing each other at a sporting event, that you may not see because you are so focused in on that nail biting play or a drive in action on the field. A football game has its own unique culture. Every football game is different, it just depends on if you are winning, or losing the game, or most important what kind of fans are at the game. You never know if it is going to be just be a usual football game home or away or if it is going to be a football game that makes the history book or the school yearbook that will be in people's memories forever. You never know, it could even be on ESPN and for yourself to think you have been part of that experience is awesome. I will be talking about

Dating back to my early childhood; football at the time was my only love. I breathed, slept and ate football. It started off as just a friendly hobby around my neighborhood up until my tenth-birthday when I joined a little league football team. Over the years I continued to play, it got even more exciting for me when my friends from the neighborhood start joining the team as well. Things suddenly changed for me moving forward into my high school career. Although this was once a fun stress reliever it was becoming the only thing that stressed me out.

There stood the final score 27-21, Vikings have done it, they are going to the Championship, again.Steelers stood quiet on the sideline while their opposing team were jumping up and down all across the field yelling and screaming and hugging each other in joy.Then you had my team, the now beaten Steelers who had just blew their Championship chance all because of me. I was only a sixth grader then and I was only playing in a little league,but felt terrible not in the mad way like an angry bull charging a fire red cape but disappointed like as if you had a chance to save the world and you decided to stay watch TV. As I was presented with a third place medal I wondered if I even deserved it had I not of fumbled the ball I would have a cheering team and a golden trophy in my hand but no, I had a bronze medal hanging from my neck.So from that day forth I decided I wasnt ever going to stop playing football and practicing football until my body couldn’t take it anymore.

“Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.” These words of Vince Lombardi perfectly describes what it takes to be a player in the game of football. The first time my hands touched a football and my cleats touched the fresh cut grass, I knew that I was in love with the sport. After almost ten years of playing football it became more than just "a game". This is why I believe that football is my one true love since it has my changed my life in numerous ways and it has had an immense influence on my ideals and notions now.
