My Life Lesson: Bend Middle School Football

My early sports experience occurred when I was in elementary school. Baseball was the first sport I played. The first level of baseball I played was tee-ball. I was excited when my mom let me play a sport when I was younger

The lessons we take from failure can be fundamental to later success. Recount an incident or time when you experience failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?

Failure is something that we cannot go through life without experiencing. The best thing about failure is that failure can be used as a great learning experience to improve upon things in our lives and career. Using failure as a learning tool is dependent upon the person and how they view it as well as how they use it. Failure is a matter of perspective and the lessons in failure are important aspects towards growth and development. If we did not experience failure there wouldn’t be opportunities for learning. Failure can teach us about ourselves as well as provide an understanding for our

Currently I am in cross country, basketball, and track, but I have done many other sports in the past. I joined the cross country team in 8th grade in hopes of finding a new passion. I fell in love with running and decided to join the track team that same year. Basketball is a different story; I joined in 3rd grade just because my parents signed me up as most sports go when you're younger, and I struggled greatly with learning and understanding the game. I spent long summers training in my yard trying to get better. This determination helped me significantly when it became time for tryouts, as I ended up making the higher team. To this day I still have a lot of determination when it comes to sports and most things in

truth. “Sometimes in life, giving up isn’t the answer because hard work will one day pay off”.

I started on the basketball and football team. The thing about basketball though, is that I didn’t have the best attitude. Basketball is the sport I love and when I had a bad game I would get down on myself. It never worked out for me when I got down especially during a game because it threw my game off. I never learned how to control it this year, so basketball had its up and downs. A part about me being a freshman and that I was a Junior High kid but also a High School kid which meant I played High School sports. I quit High School football for a little while and joined

Failure can be a very difficult thing to cope with. It can be something that makes you or breaks you. I have learned that failure is what defines a person; it shows your motivation to bounce back when things get rough. I have learned from my failure instead of dwelling on it and making myself weaker.

In my own life, a motto that has stuck with me is, you only fail if you do not try.

In life we all have encountered successes and failures, sooner or later. Although failure is dreadful, I can only learn from it. I have failed multiple times, but I matured and learned from the experience. I, being a teenager, thought a job would make me more efficient; however it was the exact opposite.

“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something.But I can’t accept not trying.” We all have failed many times, but were able to get up. We learned that struggles are part of life and that struggling helps you get better on what you are trying to achieve. Conflicts will drag you down, but when you reach the top you while never give up.

It all started one bright Sunny Spring morning when I decided I would play football. We went to my first practice later that evening. I didn't know at the time that they were holding tryouts to see makes the team. I was the last one to try out. I had to go through a couple drills and then they announced who had made the team. That season our team went undefeated and won the district championship.

Failure often times leads a person to feel helpless, disappointed and depressed. However,one should not allow this to set them back in trying to achieve the ultimate aim one has set out to do. Failure in the beginning can often be a powerful incentive to reassess one’s position in wanting to achieve the particular aims; to analyse whether the purpose is worth the trouble the person has to undergo and the whether the obstacles are surmountable.
