Reflective Essay: The Importance Of Playing Football

Improved Essays
The spring breeze blew every inch of our skin, accompanying with the sunshine warming everyone 's body. I still remember the day I found the creativity of myself in 5 years ago.

One soccer field with 20 people and 2 footballs was so crowded while still fascinating because of the comfortable weather in spring. Although we had 20people for only 1 soccer game, no one wanted to leave and give up the game since the beautiful weather. I could clearly feel the embarrassing atmosphere around us, disturbance and the desire of playing soccer games written down on everyone 's face, but no one said a word to break the awkward complexion. I thought I must come up with an idea to alleviate this situation otherwise all of us would miss the chance to enjoy a wonderful soccer game in such a comfortable day.

The first thing was to make sure that all of our 20 people can get into the game and its also the priority of the game at that time. Suddenly I noticed that the colors of these two balls were one red and one blue, so I immediately told everyone that we can played together and used both these two balls. In order to illustrate the rules more clearly, I separated our 20 people into 2 teams: A team and B team. The brand new rule is every team has 1 ball and the rule of scoring is to shot no matter which ball into the opposite team 's gate. For example, If A team

I learned it and believed myself that I can become a creative person and I want to keep a creative brain with me

    The stadium is filled, and the cheering from the crowd makes it hard for me to hear myself think. The smell of popcorn and other goods are being vended at the concession stand. The band has left the field with their piece still drumming in my head. We are in the first quarter with the lead; the scoreboard shows a score of twenty-eight to seven. The coaches are yelling, “offense” so; I put my helmet on with the upmost eagerness and headed to my position on the field.…

    Being a student athlete is a wonderful thing in high school, despite a lot of people only acknowledge the athlete part and not the student part. I believe that academics come first and if a high school student wants to be an athlete, then getting good grades should be a requirement. It should be mandatory for teachers and coaches to check the grades of student athletes weekly to determine whether students are performing academically well or not. The students that aren’t doing well should be dismissed from any further games and practices until their grades improve. It is important that student athletes maintain good grades because the work that they put into their school performance carries with them through life, putting too much of an emphasis…

    My ankles continued to glitch mid-walk and never seemed to catch up to the pace of my nervously moving feet. The brisk feeling of the summer air continued to whisk into my face as I adjusted my floppy hair in order to see the path in front of me. I could feel every ounce of sweat that was dripping down my face onto the soft turf. My own blinking sped up and produced water that squeezed through the sides of my eyes. The sight of the goal and ball in front of me were now blurry, and the familiarization with the very object that I’ve grown up with, diminished in front of me.…

    It was a brisk fall evening with the sun just about to set behind a hill. I was 10 years old, playing in my third season of football, and my first ever game under the bright lights surrounding the high school stadium. The time had finally come, the lights had been on and warming up for several minutes, I was going to play a game under the lights on the high school field. My experiences that night were not forgotten, but today I couldn’t even tell you if we won the game that night. The lessons I learned that night weren’t about winning and losing, I had done plenty of that already in my life.…
