Process Essay: Why I Want To Play Football

There are many fans and parents that like going to games to see their favorite players or kids play and they spend their game time watching their players make baskets or scoring touchdowns. But, there are also those fans that sit in the bleachers game after game whose players never seem make it off the bench. This happens more often in High School sports than college and professional sports. The coaches of any sports team usually put in the best players or maybe they have a favorite player that's the “star” player that gets more time in the game and more practice and help outside the games and practices. Certain players, however, should not get more attention from their coach or coach’s than others.

We threw the ball off and they ran it for eight yards. The play wasn’t the best for them because once Tony got the ball, I hit him and he fell to the ground with a thud!

“All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle”-St.Francis of Assisi.

The conflicts that is submerging the individual may have lost all faith in the midst of all this darkness, but even though times may feel dark,darkness is no

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.

He’s at the fifteen, he’s at the ten, he’s at the five, touchdown! Football, the greatest sport to ever be played on God’s green earth. Not only is it fun to watch, but it is also a blast to play, right? Wrong. The biggest mistake I ever made as a child was playing Hudson Hawks football.

You probably know about Tom Brady’s amazing throws and Odell Beckham’s insane catches but , believe it or not there’s a lot more than just that to football .So, most of the football you know about is probably the NFL. But, how do players get to the NFL. Well, before the NFL players will play in a league they play college football. From college they decide if they would try to make it to the NFL or stay in college for a little more time. Before going into the NFL you have to go into a draft and a draft combine. The draft combine comes before the actual draft. Why? Because, the draft combine is where you show off your skills to people named NFL scouts .Scouts are people who find the best talent for their team. Then comes the draft where the

Today is the first official start of my high school career. Our freshman team has been together since seventh grade and have been undeafeated ever since . The class of 2021 to most people is the best athletic class that we'll ever have for Central York School District. Now, everything is different. We are now in high school, and high school football will be a little bit more of challenge. But, I think that if our team stays together we'll be able to accomplish great things in high school football, things like winning districts, states, and maybe even further down the road than that it's possible.

Football is often labeled as a dangerous, unsafe sport, but there are many good things that come along with playing football. In the past two weeks I have learned about the risks that accompany football. Many kids suffer with concussions and face injuries from the sport, which scares many people away. But, despite the risks and the unsafe label, I would allow my child to play football because it promotes health, builds friendships, and helps gain toughness.

The age old question has been brought up significantly in the past couple of years and can be considered a national controversy. The answer is you can’t downright pay college athletes due the NCAA “amateurism” ruling. There are many plausible ways to compensate these athletes that are bringing in more money than the school knows what to do with. The NCAA has billions of dollars that they mindlessly shell out to programs for “updated equipment”, locker rooms,gear, etc. Also the NCAA says they pay for schooling for the athletes and that is enough, however not every athlete at a given school gets a “full ride”, or even half. This leads us to the main problem.

It had all started on one hot summer afternoon on the soon to be a football game.If you don’t know what football is it is somewhat of a battlefield where two teams must go head to head.Throwing a pig skinned oval shaped ball.The objective is to get the ball to the other side into what is called the touchdown zone. You don’t always have to throw the ball you can also run the ball ,throw, kick, punt.(Back to the story)The All-star qb threw out high school has stepped on the field .And his name was Brandon Shell

Have you ever noticed that quitting is criticized as the worst thing you can possibly do, showing weakness, a sign of failure, and the absolute last thing you should ever do or your frowned upon, but mostly in sports? In some cases, it is worth the pain to keep pushing yourself, to face obstacles head on fearless, and knowing that your hard work will pay off and make you a stronger and the better athlete that you can be. In other situations, it is almost silly if you don’t quit. There are some definite times when you know you must leave your sport. Last school year I decide I was going to quit playing tackle football not because the change in coaching but because my heart was no longer in it, the injuries that come with the sport, and I wanted to focus on another sport.

Football is an American sport, that many families and friends enjoy together. However, many people have not been interested in going to the football games they normally enjoy and not because of losses, but because of the disrespectful players in the National Football League (NFL). Kneeling during the National Anthem has become an issue, and some find it offensive because it’s disrespectful to veterans and active military personel, it shows our country doesn’t care how we act, and it causes people of our nation to fight each other.

The building of a football dynasty is an American dream. There are numerous aspects that go into the creation a great football team, such as coaching, player talent, money, and location. In fact, there are legendary teams that football fans can look back on for examples in the area. If fans glance back at those prolific teams and the leadership of the teams, we can ascertain just what it takes.

While high school student-athletes invest a lot of time and energy into their sport, the collegiate lifestyle brings a new level of difficulty that many incoming freshmen can find intimidating and overwhelming at first. In addition to being under more pressure to perform on a larger, more competitive stage in front of a more expansive audience, they must also deal with the every day challenges that normal college freshmen face: homesickness, transitioning into a more demanding academic workload, and creating a new social network. College athletes have to have their routines extremely time focused, and make time management essential to their daily lives.

For as long as I can remember football has been a part of my life in some way, shape, or form. When I was first born my grandfather said that I was solid and built to play football. I used to throw the football with my mother when I was a toddler and she always told me that when I tried to tackle her I hit really hard. My first organized football experience was when I was five. I had just moved to Manassas, VA from Washington, D.C. in 1994. It was around fall and that was right at the beginning of football season in the area. I remember telling my mother that I wanted to play, so she looked for a local organization for children. She came across the Greater Manassas Football League (GMFL) and that is where I began to play the game I
