Personal Narrative: A Career In High School Football
While in a pregame meeting 30 minutes until the bus left, my stomach started to hurt uncontrollably.Within 10 minutes I was laying on the floor unable to cope with the pain. I was rushed to the hospital and after doing many medical tests the doctors told me I would have to have an appendectomy because my appendix could burst any moment. I didn’t really realize until the next morning after surgery my high school football career could be over. Something I had worked so hard for, taken away from me so quick and unfairly, I was enrage.. I felt my senior season slip through my fingertips. However, I still needed to be a leader for this football team., even if I wasn’t able to play. I made a promise to myself to lead through positivity, pride, and

    Personal Narrative: Edison High School Football

    Quite possibly the most significant time of my life was during my senior year as part of the Edison High School football team. The story of our 2006 season is a reflection of my life and testimony to my beliefs and values. Underdogs from day one, we represented not only our school, but also our community and families. Early expectations of the 2006 Eagles were low and the surrounding community was under the belief that Edison would be lucky to go 6-4 with the inexperienced players and the loss of such a talented senior class. Suddenly, I was starting as the outside linebacker/defensive end for the first time in my career along with 18 brand new starters. Unexpectedly, a green group of replacements were 5-0, half-way through our season. After…

    Personal Narrative: Why I Play Football: Pensacola Catholic High

    I play quarter back for Pensacola Catholic High. To me football is one of the biggest adrenaline rushes you can get. The game is fast and I like that. When I play football I feel unstoppable and I love it. When you play quarterback the game is in your hands and it is up to you to lead your team to victory. You have to make sure your team is focused and prepared. You have to be a good leader to play quarterback. If your team starts loosing you can’t just act sad and give up. You have to do the right thing and give your team a pep talk and tell them to step up their game like a good leader would do.…

    Personal Narrative: Flag Football

    Eighth grade year, gym class, flag football. I remember this day like it was yesterday. I had a fuming hatred for the gym teachers and their actions toward these pre-pubescent kids who take everything a little too personally, but with these rude teachers each and every reaction from each and every kid was appropriate. The only way I could describe these teachers is 40 year olds who find joy in making 13 year olds miserable. So, it all began when the flag football unit started. I wasn’t afraid of the evil humans we called gym teachers; I spoke my mind. Football was usually the last unit every year and every year the girls had to relearn how to play football, while the boys got to go play outside right away without an ounce of review. Because I am me, this wasn’t going to fly.…

    Football-Personal Narrative

    It all started at ninth street with some friends of mine John and I started recruiting some people to come play football with us. I honestly didn’t know I had a pretty decent arm. I originally was going to start practicing to play wide receiver instead of quarterback. At the time Odell Beckham Jr. ( wide receiver for the New York Giants ) was extremely explosive and dynamic on offense. Seeing him blow up on offense made me want to try out for wide receiver. But somehow John convinced me to play quarterback.…

    Personal Narrative: A Career As A High School Baseball Player

    physically gifted they may bepropositioned me. He bet me that he could either strike me out or force an out. This was a bold maneuver. Vincent knew I would not turn him down. Deciding to let him win in front of the parents, or shatter his confidence was tough. The entire team went out onto the field knowing that I would hit the ball for the reason that it was impossible to strike me out. I let him throw the first strike, and swung and missed on the second pitch. The parents joined in the action and cheered him on, with the hopes of seeing an elementary school kid strike out a high school baseball player. I came to the realization that I have much more to give than allowing Vincent to strike me out just to make the onlookers happy. I hit the…

    Personal Narrative: Football Internship

    For the month of my internship it was like going down memory lane, except more of in a coaches position. It's a day by day process from Monday to Friday that I go in for the internship. Everyday I wake up at 5AM and I arrive before the players get to the weightroom before weightlifting. The first day that I started was to make sure all of the cameras were charged up before I began anything. The next thing I do is check to see what workouts that are being done today so that I can know what to record and what not to record. The reason for that is to show off different workouts so I can show how the team have developed over time from the beginning to the end. Once weightlifting and winter conditioning is completed for football, my job is to create a video of Walsh Universities football teams workouts and use it as a time-lapse to show them at the beginning of spring workouts until the end. The recording is like a building process for them. It's showing all of their accomplishments and their work effort that they are doing to prepare for the upcoming spring ball. As I do that, I'm also put into a coaches perspective with the players. Since I am a past player, I understand and know what they are going through to prepare for spring football. As I record them doing their workouts, I also communicate with them so that they can understand what they are working for and different ways they can improve. I'm also recording some mistakes and mishaps that I…

    It was a Friday night in mid August 1991. I was a noseguard and middle linebacker on defense, depending on the play. I also played right guard on the offensive line. This is the story of a night that could of well ended any hope of being an athlete, on any level, from this point on. I will be telling the story from the defensive side of the ball, due to that is where I was playing when I had five vertebrae, slightly, separated.…

    Personal Narrative: Northeast Middle School Football

    Good Evening Mr. Forrest, this is Sean Anderson. I wanted to send this report involving the girl's basketball coach from Northeast Middle School. Me and Jason Collins were the officials at West Creek Middle School vs Northeast Middle School. The games started at 4:45. During the second game, which was the girl's basketball game, my partner Jason Collins made a ruling against Northeast in the 4th quarter. The girl's head coach did not like the ruling and venting her frustrations toward us. She screamed" her player was not there for the foul". While I was administering the free throws I heard her screaming and gave her the stop sign signal and told her ok that's enough. I didn't administer no technical foul even though she continue…
