I Am Brendan Elliott: A Career In Sport

Improved Essays
I am Brendan Elliott. Sports has been an undying passion of mine since I was young enough to remember with my life always being surrounded with some type of sport activity or event. My love for sports began as a hobby, as well as an outlet for myself whenever I needed it. If I received an inadequate grade on an exam I would go outside and shoot hoops until dark. When my parents had agitated me for some reason, I would call up my friends and get a pick-up game of any type going. If I was just having a cruddy day in general I would turn on ESPN and watch sport highlights on repeat.
As my life has taken shape it has driven me to want to turn my passion into a career in some type of sports field. I currently major in sport management at the University

    My sunburn lines between my shorts and socks symbolized the restless, tiring hours spent out on the field. Every Tuesday and Thursday, for two and a half hours, the sun scorched my body while my legs would scrape into the ground. The cluster consisted of the seniors’ looming bodies that would go shoulder to shoulder against my own freshman self as our feet would battle for control. While this exhaustion enthralled and encouraged my game, the sprints, planks, runs, and more caused me to dread going to that grassy field every week. The humidity produced heavy, useless pants from my lungs as my throat would feel as if it was closing in from a claustrophobic nightmare.…

For whatever the reason, the passion that I have for sports is genuinely undeniable. Besides playing three high school sports, I also enjoy playing golf, tennis and volleyball.…
