Speech On The Yellow Jacket Program

My freshman year we entered playoffs with a hopeful optimism that in our first year in 3A, the largest division, we could make a statement that we were here to stay. In the end, the game didn’t go our way. There were some questionable calls made but in the end, it is what it is: we weren’t good enough to win. A tough reality but often times you learn more from a loss than from a win. Sophomore

For a lot of kids, it’s not until it’s all said and done, and they look back on it several years later, that they realize the difference the sport made in their lives. They are proud of playing the game. Have you ever met anybody who accomplished playing four years of high school football, and at the end of that run said, ‘Man, I wish I wouldn’t have played’? It doesn’t get said. Football players aren’t perfect. Nobody is. But millions of former players, one by one, can recount the life-altering principles they learned from football. They know the value of football is the values in football.That’s why high school football – and particularly high school coaches – play such a vital role in our society. Our football coaches are on the front lines of the battle for the hearts and minds of the boys in our society.

It was that time of the year again, football season. Football is a sport in which I am very passionate about, I never knew I could or would be so passionate towards something, until one very specific game. It was a Saturday afternoon, the breeze was just right, the temperature was just right; not to cold and not too hot. Being the first game of the season I didn’t know if I was going to play or not. However, I was proven wrong Coach Smith hollered “Shawn!” I stood up startled at first and right then and there I knew that was my moment to shine and shine is what I did.

“ Thank you guys”, said Butler tearing up. “This season has been some of the best times of my life”. “ Coaching this team has given me some of the best memories that I have ever had.” I cant express how proud I am of you guys.”

It was a brisk fall evening, and my seventh grade youth football team and I had traveled to Aberdeen to play the undefeated Chiefs. We had worked harder and longer than we ever had that week to show that we were a threat in the league and ascend from our third place ranking. We knew it was not going to be easy; the Chiefs’ team had the fastest running back in our division, and they had scored more total points per game than any other team in the Southeast Idaho Youth Football League. The field was neater and greener than we had expected in this town. It was a great day for football, and I was with all of my best friends. I knew going in that it was going to be a learning experience whether we won or lost that night because the Chiefs were

I want to thank you for meeting with me regarding the cross over of the lacrosse club to a team sport in the 2018 season. I have great respect for you and the roles that you have at Millikan. I've witnessed your efforts and have been impressed with what you've done at Millikan. Kevin has engaged the community in a way which has brought Millikan sports more respect and awareness. Dan has coached and guided staff in a common sense way of dealing with parents as well as maintaining a pragmatic approach to larger ideas. In this I am sincere.

Our team ended up beating them by a margin of 40 points. We won because we didn’t worry about how good we were before the game. What I learned from our loss is not purely about football, it’s about how to be defeated but come back strong. Since then I applied to the Air Force Summer Seminar and was turned down. It was two years later, after building my resume that I applied again and got in, proving I learned how to handle failure and make a strong comeback to success from a measly peewee football game.

At New Milford High School, I will belong to the community of Green Wave football for the duration of my life. As a player, my footprint is not simply measured by the amount of wins our program had during my three years on varsity, but it is measured in the complete revolution of the program under Coach Badaracco’s direction. My freshman year, the football team was a bit of a joke, a meeting ground of players who lacked dedication and work ethic, who continuously were being suspended from school, doing drugs, and partaking in other nefarious activities. When Coach Badaracco was hired, he looked to me to lead. He continuously asked me to display what a proper athlete should look like, someone who excelled in the classroom and was active in the community.

When the official game clock hit 00:00, people began to flow out of the stadium. When I stood up out of my seat, I said my goodbyes and thanked all the coaches for the entire day. I wanted to make sure they knew that I genuinely enjoyed the visit, and how I really appreciated the fact that they took the time to show my parents and I around and spend the day with us.

It was the aftermath of the Friday night game that I’ve given any signs of an injury, and my family and close ones felt sorrow for me and the following Monday. Throughout my life, peers and elders engraved an image onto me being that sports held a bright future for me, and it will lead to the true path of greatness, and one single injury puts me an aggravating, melancholy rut. Viewing my teammates playing angered me since the injury forced me into a world of therapy for the rest of the season. All the promises I made for myself were undone, athletic scholarships, the path to greatness, and my only school pastime and passion flowed throughout my body and into a pipe dream.

As a scholar athlete, I believe that it is my civic duty to promote positive behaviors and informed decision making to my peers. Because I am a scholar athlete, I possess the ability reach out to the academic and athletic populations. Throughout my years as an athlete, I have held myself to a higher standard; I acknowledge that my coaches have selected me to represent our programs in a positive fashion. Two weeks ago, I was on my way to a school function and another car hit me from behind and pushed me into a highway sign; if I had not been wearing my seatbelt, there is a good chance that the outcome of events could have been different.

I won the first game of knockout and I made a spectacular comeback win in pig. We had enough guys after pig to play some full court five on five, made really deep thee at the beginning of it. I was only able to play one fame of five on five to ensure I got to class early and arrive at class on time. In class we started with a common hour that involved talking about health safety including a sexual violence lecture and an alcohol and substance abuse. We both know that I will never have any issues with alcohol and drugs. I’m fully aware that if it every became an issue I would lose everything my credit cards, my car and my phone. Just to reiterate I will never have any issue with alcohol or drugs if that wasn’t already elucidated. So after our common hour we got a brief break to use the restroom and traveled to the loop.When we go there we passed the Chicago ESPN booth, which was cool to me. We got to see the most astonishing archtectureat the Tompson center, is now favorite

I would like to sincerely take the time out to apologize to The Referees, The League, and all players involved for what transpired the night of October 23rd. It is not the nature for any of the members of my team to respond in such manner.

The year is 1861 and the American Civil War has just begun. The men are on their way to fight courageously in the war. Stephen Crane was able to capture this war in a new way. In his novel The Red Badge of Courage he describes the mental experiences the protagonists of the story, Henry goes through rather than the experiences he indoors with his surrounding. This novel does a great job in capturing the psychological war that any soldier could have when questioning their bravery. Crane became a famous author after writing his first novel which he gained a great reputation from. Crane affected the literary world by being a realist author. He was someone who truly captured the essence of real life events. He captured
