What Does Football Mean To Me
Football is something that defines me in many ways. Football taught me many things but one of the biggest was becoming a young man. The sport itself didn't teach to be a man but the coach that felt like father figures in the four year in highschool that gave me life lectures. My coaches taught me simple things like how to shake hands like a man to learning to deal with situation that are hard to deal with alone. My coaches have helped me become the young man I am with manner, attention to details, and sense of urgency. Without football and the discipline I've been through, I would have been a MORE of a person who quits when it gets hard. Football is what taught to keep trying even when it's hard and to try my best because at some point you

    With reading the article “ Would I let my son play Football”,I came to a consensus that I would let my kid play football. “ How can I bash a game that produced so many friendships, paid for my education, and helped me become comfortable financially” .( Fujita 3). I agree with this article’s statement because football has helped people pay for college and help build their respective careers. Football has also made many people financially stable after playing in college and moving on to the NFL. “Football isn’t for everyone Scott ...but it was definitely for me”. (5). With Football not being for everyone, it is still made for some people, and if my son/ daughter wanted to play football then it would be made for them. The people that are made…

    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.…

    I am very good at football. It is one of my favorite sports. When I was younger, I decided to try football. So then ever since, I kept playing football every year. Also every year I got better and better. I got lots of tackles in football. This one time a player was running to the touchdown line and I ran as fast as I can to get to the player. Finally I caught up to him and I tackled the player before he could reach to get a touchdown. That’s what helped me stay in football.…

    Although, some would still hold the argument about football teaching discipline and keeping teens active. Football will never be the only thing to teach discipline and keep teens active, but some will still take the risk. Additionally, football will not work out well for everyone and could still cause severe injuries. Yet another reason why I still stand on the side of not allowing my son to play football. To conclude, if your reason for pursuing football is due to the career path that is set, football will not be the only factor determining…

    There are over seven billion people on this Earth, so what is it that makes me so different? I wear Nike, I drive a car, I play video games, I have chores, and could be considered a pretty normal person. I love, I laugh, I get angry, and I have emotions just like every other human being. The one thing I heavily identify with is football. For as long as I can remember I’ve played ball, and made some great friends along the way. The picture in the top left is a great representation of this. Football has taught me lessons of leadership, perseverance,toughness, how to deal with the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows. (Bottom left: aftermath of beating Staley) Above all else, the best thing it has taught me was loyalty. Not only loyalty to a cause, but loyalty to my brothers, and ultimately my family. Football has created a foundation for my character, and without it I am certain I would not be the same person I am today.…

    Right from the start I knew id love it. The coaches screaming at me and the other kids hitting me really made me feel great. That might sound weird but I just loved doing it. The pain my legs felt after practices was an indescribable feeling of hurt and success after a good practice. And that feeling still sticks to this day.

I can honestly say It has influenced my life in a…

    The sport of wrestling helped mold me into the man I am today. Wrestling can be more than just a sport, as it was to me.

I never could have possibly imagined that a sport could impact my life as much as wrestling did. I am extremely grateful for everything my coaches taught me. They not only taught me how to wrestle, they taught me how to be a man also.…
