My First Football Research Paper

Soccer is a popular sport that is played all around the world. People from South America and other parts of the globe call this sport football. This game requires sports equipment, rules that need to be acknowledged, and each player obtains an assigned position. I was a part of Maine East freshman soccer team for a year. Not only is the sport exciting to play, but it is also interesting to watch the World Cup.

The next day was game day we all stayed in the same hotel so we all eat breakfast. I was quarterback so I had the most pressure on me. The football players left on the bus and went down there when we got there there was so many people there. I had butterflies in my stomach so, bad there was 3 hours before the game.

Practicing football is not an enjoyable activity; however, if any team wants to be successful, practice is a necessity. Football is a physical sport and the team works on different tackling drills during practice in order to toughen up the players. The mental aspect of football is also important. Football practice is a mental challenge because the players are expected to remember the plays, which the coach teaches them. Without practicing all of the plays, the team will not succeed in their season.

If I would have to say the most impact on my life would be football throughout my life, There was lots of things I’ve experience on and off the field and some more over time when I had started to play, when I had good season, when I had bad season. It’s funny to think that I wanted to quit the game that I loved the most on my first day out on practice.

Community... what does it mean? In my opinion it means to be part of a group with people who want the same thing that you want and care about you. These people in your community often share a common goal with you, win a game, solve a problem and many more situations. A community I have been in is the Saint John's football community, even though I have not been in it long I know what it feels like to be in it. This football community isn't just a team it's a brotherhood. The reason I am writing this essay is to talk about the values of Saint John's, humility, trust, zeal, compassion, and simplicity. These are the values that the Xaverian Brothers sponsored schools follow, these values are important to Saint John's as a school.

The football has advanced consistently since the principal diversion was played at Rutgers College in New Jersey on Nov. 6, 1869. Be that as it may, despite the fact that the forward pass was sanctioned in 1906, until the point when the ball went up against its present size and shape in 1935, the pass was a nonplay. The ball utilized as a part of the principal diversion was round, similar to a soccer ball. It was hard to convey, and unbalanced to toss. At that point, in 1874, a rugby-sort ball was utilized as a part of a challenge between McGill College Foot-Ball-Club and Harvard College Football Club. This new ball resembled a watermelon and wasn't considerably less demanding to toss. Be that as it may, laterals and short flips were b

It all started with me and my uncle sitting in the kitchen with my grandparents waiting for the game to come on. It was Thanksgiving Day and the whole family was at my grandparent's house for the day. It was around the night when everyone began to leave but, me and my uncle. Whenever there is a football game me and my uncle will watch the football game all the time. We were having fun until my bears fan aunt came.

It was a Saturday morning kind of the typical Saturday for a 13 year old boy in the late 90’s. Early morning cartoons and no school, but I was on a football team called the Pasadena Ponies, Junior pee wee was the division I was in, and today was game day. I wasn’t a starter at the position I played, but this day I was in luck I was starting. I had no clue what was in store for me, but at the end of this day I felt good about myself.

Growing up I had a passion for playing soccer. The love of the sport led me to play from dusk till dawn in our backyard. There was a sense of tranquility about playing at night that I just loved. As I grew up I slowly stopped playing the sport as I increasingly became overwhelmed with school, homework, and other responsibilities. Even though I slowly stopped playing the sport I continued to watch it very attentively. Every Saturday or Sunday I would sit down with my father to watch my favorite soccer team, named Chivas, play against other teams from Mexico. I felt that during these times I could really bond with my father because during a normal week I was not able to see him because of work. I really enjoyed his insight into the games even

The game can be played on either natural or artificial surfaces, the surface must be green and rectangular in shape. The two long sides of the rectangle are called touch lines and the two shorter sides are called goal lines. The field is divided in half by the halfway line. One 11-man team has possession of the football. It is called the offense and it tries to advance the ball down the field-by running with the ball or throwing it - and score points by crossing the goal line and getting into an area called the end zone. The other team (also with 11 players) is called the defense.

Every year the infamous super bowl comes on and it becomes the talk of the town. Football is known worldwide for how violent it is. If it’s so violent, then why do we watch it? We watch it because it’s entertaining, we get to learn from their mistakes, and it's a great way to socialize.

Apart from my academic routine I have always pursued playing football. I have always had affection for this beautiful game and football has taught me some positive characteristics such as discipline, perseverance, teamwork, hard work, etc. The most important lesson I’ve gained from football is that there’s no alternative to hard work to get success. It has also taught me leadership skills, team building strategies and how to motivate the team members to get the most out them. It has taught me how to take decisions quickly and rationally. Football has developed a fighting mentality inside me and taught me to fight for glory till the last second. Though football I’ve learnt to accept failures and how to overcome them. Last of all, football has

Everybody has something they are literate in. For me, that is football. I am committed to being a good football player. I started 2 seasons ago, and am on my third. As with anything, I have strengths and weaknesses when playing football. But I have to work with these if I want to be a good football player. My experience with football also can relate to ELA and my strengths and weaknesses there.

In typical fashion, the sun beats down on the field, generating extreme heat before the game begins. We have been looking forward to a rematch after our devastating loss the previous season. After warmups, I take my place in line next to my teammates. The recorded National Anthem begins to play across the field. As I look down the line of players, I am relieved to see that all have made the choice to stand and honor the flag. What would I do if they had chosen to take a knee? I understand that being an American gives us freedoms that other countries cannot comprehend; however, I know that these freedoms came with a price.

During my internship I worked with Franklin High School’s football team, I started on June 25th and worked all the way to August 14th Monday-Friday for 3.5 hours each day. So all together I gotten a total of 122 hours. What I did during the internship was help the coaches in any way I possibly could, such as help setting up equipment for drills, helping the quarterbacks warm up, help run drills , and being the ball boy during their scrimmages. I did anything that the coaches asked me to help with. From this experience, I learned many things that goes into being a coach for a football team. There were some thing that I noticed about the football team that I learned about in my sports in society class. I remember talking about how some athletes think that sports are their only way of being successful, and their only way of getting out were their living right now. Some of the high schoolers saw football as their ticket of getting out of their predicaments. Sometimes they focus so much on football that they let their grades slip and get into trouble with their classes. Though the coaches do a real good job of reminding them that it’s just not their athletic ability that’ll get them into a good college, but they also have to get good grades too. The coaches do a real good job of keeping their athletes on the right track and help them when they need help so that they can play football. Something that I learned in my sponsorship and sales class helped with this situation. We
