Personal Narrative: My Son Play Football

I was nine-years old in 1952, and it was on a brisk August Sunday afternoon when my Dad took me to my very first 49ers game at Kezar Stadium for an exhibition contest against the Cardinals, from Chicago. As I remember the weather was overcast and the temperature a cool 60 degrees.

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 David Charles Johnson was a child, he wanted to become a professional football player. He always wanted to become a quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. As his parents raised him in Madison, Wisconsin, they encouraged him to try new things and would push him to do his best. David had a lean build with dark-brown hair and blue eyes. He participated in multiple sports, but he enjoyed baseball and football the most. In both sports, he enjoyed the throwing aspects of each game. He enjoyed pitching in baseball and being a quarterback in football. When high school arrived and David was a sophomore, he decided that he only wanted to play baseball and football. He and his parents decided it would be better for him to focus on his academics

Well for me, football is my top favorite sport. When I was in school, I had a problem with authority, and teachers would often make me mad. I tried hard to control my aggression, frustration, and anger. I jumped into drugs and cigarettes to fights and gangs. Because nothing I tried worked, I went to football tryouts. I felt happy and excited for the first time in a long time; I eventually got on the field and ran and ran.

With my eyes glued to the ball. Just waiting for the center to snap it to the quarterback I made sure my cleats were dug in and ready to go. As the center moved the ball I charged forward shoving the center out of the way and slamming my shoulder into the quarterback and taking him down before he had a chance to blink. After the play, there was time to think to myself about the past week, the events that had transpired, the important decision I had made, and about that one sunny day at practice.

I would not allow my son to participate in the sport of football if he asked me to allow him to play. In Scott Fujita’s article “Would I let My Son Play Football?,” Fujita states “But I hated what football was doing to so many people around me, and I hated what it was probably doing to me.” Fujita was a professional NFL player and yet he did not agree with how the sport was affecting those around him. If a previous professional player does not like how the sport affects others, then that is a sign to prevent my children from playing. The author also states “The latest dark reminder came Monday when a 16-year-old high school player from Brocton,N.Y., died after a helmet-to-helmet hit in a game friday night.(Fujita 3). The fact that a 16-year-old

It was just another school night in the seventh grade. Our recreational tackle football team had a practice at 730pm until 9. It was a very swampy night and from that I felt myself very sluggish. At the time, I was a backup running back. I was always left on the sidelines facing the chills of the cold wind during games. I typically didn’t get to see much playing time on the field, but that night I got my opportunity. I was receiving kicks during a punting audition and all I was doing was catching the ball and throwing it back, nothing unique. One throw after another, my coach began to praise my arm strength. Seeing me pass the ball was a true eye-opener. That night, I went from a backup running back, to the starting quarterback of my rec

“Will I let my son play football?”. Is a question that comes to mind to parents who have kids interested in sports. But these are the questions they should also ask themselves. “Is a football career really worth all the repercussions?” and “Is a life worth a tackle?”. Many kids dream of having a professional football career and strive to be the best in the sport. With hard work and dedication these dreams can become clearer, but that does not mean they are promised. The only thing that a professional football career promises is that injuries will occur while playing, no matter what age or size. That being said, I would not give my son permission to play football because it causes concussions and bodily injuries, it also promotes violence and causes permanent brain damage and death.

Every time you practicing you getting use to every body parts and when it comes to playing you wouldn't get tired faster. Overall I ask myself every question after I read the article and i would let my son play football over ready and having

Football is back as the first preseason game was played last Thursday. With football coming back, so does fantasy football. Like a lot of people (myself included), you’re scouring the internet for rankings. There’s plenty of rankings out there, but none of them tell you where to take a defense. I am going to present my strategy.

Why would you not let your son play football and let it benefit them instead of staying home and risking the chance of them always being on the streets? It is very informed to the public about the dangers of football, in particular head trauma. Despite those obvious injuries it is also believed football is a beneficial sport someone can play. I would let my son play football because it promotes discipline, teaches them toughness, and keeps them on track in school.

I have been playing tackle football since I was in 5th grade. I love the sport football, let me be honest you have to be tough to play football. Football is a contact sport if you take the contact out no one will play football. That is why “Concussion Legacy Foundation to support a new parent education initiative, flag football under 14.” I would have to disagree because football is a serious sport you don’t need an injury right when you go into highschool. You should know how to play the sport before highschool people are touch in high school.

I would let my son play football. On (Fugita 3) Scott states, “ How can I bash a game that produced so many friendships, paid for part of my educstion, and help me become comfortable financially.” I strongly agree with this article, because football does help you with those three things. You gain friendship, which helps with communication, to work, and lead. In a group activity communication is the key, even outside of sports. Football helps with education, because you can receive scholorships and tuitions that help finantcially. Sholorships and tuitions help students get a higher education for those with different income levels. In conclusion, I am sure there will be injuries, but that ca toughen him up and he will fight. I would let my son

Would you let your son or daughter play football knowing the risks? If my son or daughter wanted to play football i would tell him that we will have to talk about it later

If my son or daughter was completely sure he/she wanted to play and was passionate about the sport, I would allow him/her the chance to play. In the article, Fujita states, “So maybe the more appropriate question is, If I could do it all over again, would I? The answer: Absolutely. Without hesitation.”(Fujita 5). I would want my child to experiment with different sports and activities so that they too can find a sport to be passionate about and an activity that they would not regret getting into in the long run, whether it be football or something else. Fujita also states in the article, “I developed a deep love-hate relationship with the game.I loved playing on Sundays. I loved the paychecks. I loved the guys in the locker room. But I hated
