Personal Narrative: Playing For The Goodlettsville All-Stars
It was the middle of the summer and I was playing baseball in Jackson, Mississippi. I was playing for the Goodlettsville All-Stars. We were playing in the little league 10u world series. To get to the championship we had to win 8 games and it was single elimination. We had won 7 out of 8 games and we were playing our 8th game and it was the bottom of the third and I was playing left field. In the second inning I was felling drowsy so my dad gave me a Snickers and a Red Bull. I was for sure not drowsy anymore. I could feel the sugar rushing through my veins and I was on the balls of my feet waiting for the pitch to be thrown. When my pitcher threw the ball I had my hand in my glove ready for the ball if it was hit to me. WHAM! The ball was hit so far up in the air it looked like it hit the sun. When I realized that the ball was coming to me I was way too far back so I had to run as fast as I could and dive for the ball. I jumped as far as I could and stretched as far as I could. I barely caught it by snow coning the ball. Everybody was so proud of me that the screamed as loud as they could. We went on to win the game 4-1. The next day I woke up, jumped out of the bed, and put my uniform on. I was so excited, I was in the championship! I …show more content…
After we warmed up it was time to play the final game. We were the home team so we were in the field first. I was playing center field and it was so hot outside that I felt like I was going to melt. When the umpire yelled, ”Play Ball!” I jumped up on my feet and was ready for the first pitch. On the very first pitch the batter hit the ball straight to me. I watched the ball go up in the air and I was putting my glove up in the air ready to catch the ball but then I lost track of it. My sunglasses did not help me with the sun. I was trying to find the ball, but then SMACK! The ball hit me straight in the mouth and I fell to the ground like a sack of

    When the first game came I was extremely happy yet nervous also. We ended up winning the game by the score of three runs to two although I did not get to bat at all and was put in only for two innings of defense. I was disappointed that I did not get to play much but I was happy with the win. Our second game was the next day and I hoped to get more playing time then. When that day came it turned out that we were playing an extremely skilled team. We were losing three to one in the last inning and I still hadn’t played at all the whole game. One of my friends hit a double and then another one of my teammates hit a single to knock him in to score. The score was now three to two and we had a chance to come back. My coach then decided that we needed someone faster on the bases so he called for a…

    As a player for the Hanford West basketball team, I was placed into situations that required me to step up and be the leader of the team. One of these situations was during a game when our most talented player had been injured. I know my teammates relied on me to be the one to look up to for all the answers. I was certain I would have to go beyond my capabilities to lead this unit to victory. The game started off horribly because of the evident lack of effort from our team. As the commander of this group of young men I knew something had to change. I stepped out of my comfort zone and became very vocal in order to get some motivation pumping through our veins. Every time my teammates made a play I would be sure to acknowledge them in some way, whether it was a high five or a nod. This made me realize feedback is essential when taking on the leadership role in order to boost self the confidence of others. As the game went on we managed to pull off an outstanding team victory.…

    Soccer is a very competitive sport. I didn’t play for too long, but i enjoyed it while i played. I was very aggressive and active. Soccer is a sport that you have to use both of those skills. It was a hard game but i liked it at the time. As i grew up, i became fascinated in baseball. I never got to play but i always loved to watch games on tv. I also love to go to Pirates games. Andrew Mccutchen has always been my favorite player. I even have an autographed picture of him. I love to watch the movie 42 about Jackie Robinson. It is interesting to learn about his career in baseball. He stood up to racism and became a very talented and famous baseball player. I look up to him in many ways. Baseball to me is a big part of America. It has a big…

    As I stood at the plate, adrenaline was rushing through my body causing my knees and arms to tremble. By the pitcher’s stature, I could tell he was confident he was about the throw the game-ending pitch. Confirming the catcher’s sign with a nod, the pitcher wound up and strongly released the ball that came barreling towards me. It was a fastball; a fastball I could all the way in to the head of my bat. I swung for the lights and heard that perfect contact; that sound that tells you “that ball is outta here!”…

    The drums roar and the game begins. The bases looked as if they were mountains that treacherously needed to be climbed. I was the third baseman for our team, and I caught the ball once. It wasn’t an out because the ball hit the ground. I was a beast on the softball field.…

    We were running up the sideline of the field sprinting our hearts out just to get to the opponents goal, and as I ran up the sideline my coaches speech went through my head and how he told us not to give up. I passed the ball to one of our teammates and he passed it back to me as soon as I ran around a defender. I then passed to another teammates the one of the players on the opposing side went in to take the ball but had kicked his leg instead. The referee blew his whistle for a penalty kick which was really good because it was inside the goalie box. Our penalty shooter Elijah went and stood up at the penalty spot he walked back A couple of paces and as he took the shot the goalkeeper dived the other way and so Elijah won the penalty but even though we thought that was great we still knew that the game hadn’t…

My mom and myself were so proud. Later on in the inning I soon came around the bases to score. Finally my team won and we had cupcakes to celebrate.…

    In seventh grade I wanted to tryout for volleyball. I was very nervous because I had never played it before. I was super happy when I found out all my friends and I made the team. We had a lot of practices in December to get ready for games in January. I was really nervous for our first game. Our first game was supposed to be right after christmas break ended, but we had a snow day so it was cancelled. I wished it hadn’t been so I could just get it over with, but i was gonna have to wait. We were scheduled for another game later that week. I woke up with a phone ringing and an answering machine saying that school was cancelled due to boiler issues. I sat in bed thinking I had once again gotten lucky and we had no game, I was wrong. We were…

    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…

    A day I will never forget is the last football game of my eighth grade year. We the Saint Jo Panthers were undefeated, and we were playing the Wild Cats, who also were undefeated. The game started out slow with neither team scoring their first three positions. The Wild Cats drew first blood with a long touchdown. They went for the two-point conversion, since I knew what play they were running by the way they lined up, a quarterback draw, fake, pass. I was able to stop them. The Wild Cats scored a field goal before we finally scored a touchdown. We did not make our two-point conversion, so at half time; the score was Wild Cats nine, Panthers six. No one scored in the third quarter. Then early in the final quarter, the Wild Cats scored another field goal to make the score twelve to six. Coach Seymour was upset, and he pulled us to the sidelines. Coach put me back at guard, and Benny Sour at center. He told our quarterback Curtis Gulf to run quarterback sneak every play. Therefore, we ran the quarterback sneak every play and scored a touchdown. We did not have a good kicker, so we went for the two-point conversion again. The Wild Cats knew right where we going but could not stop the quarterback sneak. We won the game fourteen to twelve, so the way we won the game was one I will never…
