Personal Narrative: The Day I Play Football
My brother always wanted me to play football and he has always played football. When I was in 3 rd grade he told me that I'm going to start having to practice, so mostly every day we'd go outside and practice for a while, we would play catch and learn plays. it would be a fall or summer or anything, he would always come outside and play football. I have improved a lot and I would say that he has done a lot for me. one day I came home from practice and he was sick and he still went outside in the cool, foggy day and practiced with me.
He told me all of his plays that he learned when he played at the same school and field I did. I can remember every Friday when I would get home from school and he’d be at his game and my mom would come pick me up from work and take me to the game. It was a fall day and the crowd would be cheering and little kids would be running around playing tag and playing king of the hill on the dirt hill by the fence next to the baseball field. We would sit there and watch him all night whether it was cold, raining or really windy, we would watch him. I remember one day we went to his away game, it was about 1 hour away, and the wind was like 20 miles per hour and me and my mom would have 6 blankets on watching him. I was always excited waiting for her to come home to get me

Even though he lives far away, when he comes home he will practice and still play games and other stuff even though he just turned 24 and has a family and he has a daughter named Waverly. He will always be there for me when I need help with football or not, he is just the best brother anyone could ask for in the world. He pushes me really hard and I don't like, it but it will always make me a better player and I know when we get older I will thank him for what he's done and how how he goes out of his way does things for

    I thank my dad for bringing out the skill and mindset of an athlete. I not only use my competitive nature on the field but I also utilize it in the classroom. When I was younger, I would despise the person who got a higher grade than me. I wouldn't actually hate them, I would hate that they beat me. But when I would get the highest grade in the class I would feel like I had won the championship football game.…

    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.…

    “Swish” as the ball goes through the net. The crowd went wild in the stands as Adam shot the ball. Adam is a tall and brown curly haired boy, with wide hands up to eight inches long. Coach Smith was off his seat and sweating a lot. Coach Smith is a big, bald, and a tall man. The team was down by two, they had the ball. Seven seconds left, the clock was ticking. Two seconds left Randy, had shot the ball at the three point line. Randy is a hairy chimpanzee that loves to play basketball. There was no time left on the clock. When suddenly, the gymnasium was left in complete darkness, just before if everybody saw if the shot was good or not. When the lights turned backed on Randy was gone. Everybody was looking for him.

    Playing sports was a huge commit for not only me but my mom. She drives me to and from sport to sport, still being on time. I played ETFC (Eugene Timbers Futbol Club) so we traveled a lot for games. She was at every game, some even in Washington. When we had tournaments she had to pay for hotels and food. I am very thankful for her.…

    On and off the field, I knew my role was to lead our class and team. From the weight room to the track, and even in the classroom, I lead by example and empowered others on a journey unique to each person. Teaching freshman, and staying after practice to help those that needed it, helped me realize the uttermost selfish thing we can do is believe our actions only affect ourselves. Everything we do affects someone else for the better or for the worse. There is no other environment that lends the same leadership opportunities and experiences than that of a football. I can truly say that without playing football in high school, I would not have grown into the person I am today, nor possess the same intellectual characteristics. I am grateful for all experiences, whether seemingly beneficial or adverse, as it is the conglomerate of experiences that makes us who we…

    My first goal was to complete a 200 pound bench press. I selected this goal because I wanted more power in football. My second goal was to do 75 consecutive push ups. I chose this goal because push ups are a great exercise to increase your bench press. My third goal was to get really cut and lower my body fat percentage. I increase cardio and changed to a healthier diet to achieve this goal. My fourth goal was to weight 150lbs. I chose this goal because having some extra weight will help me on the football field. I tried to make these goals reasonable and with a lot of hard work I was able to achieve 2 of them.…

    It was the day that most freshmen dread, cuts day. There were many of us trying out for the JV baseball team- more people than there were positions. I could see it, I would be starting catcher on the JV baseball team. I had made it passed the first two weeks of tryouts and I was so confident that I was going to make it. That was, until on that last day of tryouts when the two coaches pulled me out of a drill and told me they wanted to talk to me.…

    Twenty years ago she came into my life and because of her I am a better person. If not for her I never would have been so dedicated and excited to play sports. Thanks to Aim my life revolved around sports and this allowed me to release my frustrations and be a part of team. She once said to me “Teddy your team is an extension of your family and family is all any of us have.” She was the best member any family could ever have and I am honored to call her my aunt. Before she officially became my aunt she was my mentor, my coach and my biggest fan. From her I learned to take pride in my actions, to do my best and to never take people for granted. One time she took me to one of our many wrestling meets and I had to wrestle a girl. I was 13 years old and had been raised to never hurt a female. The girl beat me by points because I couldn’t go all out and I was extremely embarrassed. She consoled me and assured me that it was just a fluke. Then later that day I had to face the…

    There's the basic stuff that most older brothers do. You know, baby-sit you, help you with your homework, and let you use their stuff. But my brother did a lot more for me. He was the one who taught me how to read and how to tie my shoes. He taught me how to hold my breath underwater. He even taught me how not to touch his things.…
