Personal Note On Football

Improved Essays
The first sign I notice I hated practice was my eighth grade year the first year I had ever played football for a team. I played for the Missouri Tigers Mo-Kan football team during this time. It was a very hot and humid day out. The very first time I was on an actual football team I felt great being on the team but, not even three minutes pass by and I felt awful I guess I just don’t do well under the sun. My freshmen year at Shawnee Mission west it was my first ever high school practice. I was very excited but, not thrilled that the heat index was 89 degrees. I love the sport but, when it comes down to it I hate to practice in the heat or really practice at all. I was doing ok for a while but, I don’t know what went through my head. My …show more content…
I loved that he have me another chance so, I went off that year I felt I was better than ever I got eight sacks that year but, I still did not come to practice often. I would skip or act like I was hurt during practice so I could skip. One day I went home to visit one of my best friends and play video games. After the day passed I had weights he called me in his room and closed the door behind me aggressively; I knew I was in trouble during that time. I asked me, “Why was I not at practice?” I told him, “I was sick so I went home” Then he asked,” So if I call your mother now, she will tell me you were at home?” I said yeah knowing I would be in so much trouble if my mom found out and my head coach. So he called and I got in so much trouble. I got kicked off and yelled at by my mother. But, later on in the season I guess it showed that I was a great factor to the varsity team my junior year because he kicked me back on the team I was …show more content…
My senior year came and I was in the best shape of my life but, the first week or two I just felt like not going forward and playing for Shawnee mission west anymore. I wasn’t myself I didn’t care about the team I didn’t care about myself either I was barely getting by with my grades and the screwed me because I missed the third and fourth game of my senior year because of grades. Then when I was good to play I was showing up to practice late and skipping because I wanted to. But, after all that nonsense I was accused of taking a wallet out of my teammate’s locker. The school investigated by the time the investigation was over with it was like game nine and ten. I did not play at all throughout that time. They did not find out who took it and I barely got to play my senior year they did not even go to a state that’s what I was determined to do. But, thanks to one of my teammates that never gave up on me and my family because I did know what I was going to do after high school. Michal McCray the friend I have known since the middle school made me put in an application here at Coffeyville to play and to attend school here. I thought about it for a while because I had an offer from Butler Community College in the middle of the season, but I just settled and came here with Michal. I am grateful for my family and friends that did not give up on me. The lesson I

    During our competitive matches, he kept asking me to try out for the team. I told him that I was a baseball player, not a football player. By my sophomore year, good ole Coach King managed to convince me to try out on the team. He wanted me to start on the junior varsity team which I thought was a step backwards since I was freshmen starting on the varsity baseball team. To this day, I believe that he underestimated the depth of my talent.…

This year I changed my mindset from losing to be improving each day. I put so much time and effort into a sport that I love and was going to play with as much heart as possible.…

    For about half of the season I would play half of the JV game and play half of the varsity game as well as practice with both teams. Ironically I wasn’t officially just on the varsity squad until the day my grandmother died. It was ironic because my grandmother had died in the morning, but my mom wanted me to go to school since we had a game that day so she didn’t tell me until I got home from school. I was getting on the bus to play our biggest rival when my coach told me I wouldn’t be playing with the JV team that night or the rest of the season. It was the worst day of my life and here I am finally playing in…
