Achieving College Football's Success
“Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom”(George S. Patterson). In life odds are that you will not reach your goal on your first try. In fact, you’ll get knocked down or out of your path multiple times in your life. So it's good to have multiple plans in your life. My goal is to play football after high school, but I realize there is a good chance that won't happen. Either the team I want to play for doesn’t offer me or just that I wasn’t good enough. My goal and dream is to play college football.
Why do I want to play college football? Well because I love football. I love the thrill of playing under the lights. I love the whole crowd cheering as loud as they can. I love the competition, I love to win. There is nothing better than when you make a great play and the whole entire student section is chanting your name. Nothing beats running and celebrating with all the fans after you just win an important game. Friday nights are the

It will take blood, sweat, and tears to accomplish my goal. Goals do not “just” happen you have to work for them. You will have your ups on the way to your goal but you will also have downs. I got my chance to shine last year when someone got hurt. I took advantage of an opportunity and made into success. I had to work as hard as I could. I had to overcome disadvantages of being too “small” or too “slow” and not “tall” enough. I had to prove that I could to play. When you are smaller than everyone else you have to play like you are tallest and try harder than the other person. My coach and my dad will play the biggest role in helping me achieve my goal.
My goal is important to me because It is what I love. In life, you may not always achieve your goal so you have to have a plan b or even a plan c. In my life my real goal is to be happy and to be healthy and have a great family. But my goal as of right now is to play college football. I plan to do anything I have to do so I can reach my

    You earn recognition, all your playing time, and a starting position through hard work. I grew up playing all kinds of different sports. I played baseball, football and later in life I started to swim competitively. In each case, I had to learn to take the responsibility to do my part—for myself and for my teammates. Practice was mandatory and took priority over other interests of mine. This was hard for me, since I missed out on school dances, family activities and other fun events because I had to be at practice everyday. It also forced me to learn good time management skills as I started to balance school, a social life, daily two-hour practices and games on the weekends. The coaches can only teach so much and, while they tried, couldn’t force me to learn my plays or study in my off time. I knew my hard work was paying off when my coach would say, “Good job Gunnar, I’m proud of you!” That one sentence made me realize that my hard work had paid off and that I should continue to work even harder, not only in sports but also in everything I…

    Everyone has a dream that they should work for to make them happy. That dream only comes true once someone puts in hard work and extraneous amounts of effort to achieve it. Once they achieve their dream, they start a new one. For many people my age, the dream may be college, a career path, or accomplishing something in the future they always have wanted to do. My dream is to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison and be a member of the marching band. I know that not only will I have to work hard academically, I will have to practice my marching and always keep a positive attitude, even when the pressure is heavy to do well.

    Growing up, I was never naturally athletic and very injury prone. Regardless of these issues, I always remained determined and strived to accomplish my goals. As I enter high school one of my main goals was to make the varsity tennis team. During my freshmen year I practiced every day for the first 3 months of school hoping that I could just make the team. Unfortunately I tore a ligament in my wrist for the second time which prevented me from practicing till right before the tennis season started. I ended barely making the JV team which was very disappointing, but it only motivated me for next year. In my heart I knew that I if I was determined enough I could play varsity next year on my own merit. As I progressed through the sophomore year,…

    The other side does have legitimate reasons even if they do not outweigh the positives of college football. The first is that college is meant for academic purposes. While college is a great place for one to increase their knowledge I also see college as a place that helps people grow up and take that next step in life, whether that next step is getting an engineering based job or playing sports professionally. Both provide financially and both have time commitments so I do not see a difference. Personally I do not think it is fair for people to make college only academic…

    There are many types of goals. Growing up, I always dreamed of being two things: a mother and a nurse. I am blessed to have two wonderful children ages 14 and 16 and have had the privilege of being able to be a stay-at-home mom during their younger years. Now that they are older and a bit more independent, I have decided to go back to school and fulfill my goal of earning my degree in Nursing. Throughout the years of growing and maturing, I have learned how important it is to have good morals, values, goals, a passion for something, and a good education. I have not only taught my children the importance of these characteristics, but I have also shown them that regardless of one’s age or stage in life, that…
