Personal Narrative: A Career In Football

Decent Essays
I started my football career at the age of eight and fell in love with it ever since.
I was involved in a flag football program for a couple of years till i wanted to play tackle football.
The only problems with me playing tackle football was my parents fear of me getting hurt.
Thankfully, after four years of playing flag football i was able to play tackle football, but the team i was on didn’t win one game the whole season. I played for a organization called the AYFL. It was a “ok” experience for my first time playing football, but i didn’t like playing for city leagues.
After that season, I played for Calvary Christian Academy,and it was a really fun experience.
Our football team went undefeated and won the championship. After that

For these elements to work, each member of a team must depend on each other’s contribution, but not rely on one member to do all the work. As well, an intentional goal must be set for all members to unify the same mentality. In my own experience with the Buckeye Twirl baton team, we fail to perform as a team and work as individuals.…

    Conclusion Essay Football is a huge part of my life as I started to play this game at the young age of five. Throughout the years of playing and countless hours of “up downs” and what seemed like running forever, I acquired a lot more than just bruises and broken bones. I learned skills that I can carry with me for life. Football is a classic american sport that is possibly the most violent of all sports and while 47% of all concussions occur in highschool, it is still one of the most widely popular sport played by kids all over America. I would give my son permission to play this violent sport because I want him to experience and learn all the good attributes such as respect, teamwork, and building confidence.…

I just recently finished my second semi-professional football season in Indiana, as a running back and cornerback. Although I am unsure whether I will play again, I feel that it is much easier to stay prepared for the opportunity, as opposed to getting out of shape and then deciding to play.…
