Eight-eighty-seven seventy-one,” Coach Morris said to me. “Look for the outside receivers and tell them to get out of bounds to stop the clock. If they don’t get out of bounds, hurry to the line and spike the ball!” After hearing those instructions from coach I trotted onto the field with 1:22 left in the Decorah football game. Since our defense held them on 4 straight downs we had a second chance and we were going to take advantage of it.…
If I can overcome this, I can overcome anything My father had always told me, “A small setback is just only a setup for a great comeback.” I had played football practically all of my life, from Little League Football to High School Football. It was my freshman year of Highschool, and football season had just begun. There was nothing to stop me from playing football for the rest of my life, so I had thought.…
Packers Essay My earliest known memory as an Under armour Football cleat is sitting in the Dick’s Sporting Goods back room. I was the newest shoe on the market because of my tall ankle support and was halfway colored with orange and black. My new master, Adam, bought me with money that he carefully saved up from his job at the Yankee Springs Golf Course. I was a steep $145 but the look in Adam’s eyes told me that I was worth more than than the dollar amount.…
After that we came together for more tackling drills. Then we put together all the plays that we learned, add new ones, split the team up, and play against each other. We did this until we couldn’t see…
Personal Narrative “Daniel Momotic with the ball, HE BROKE FREE THE 40,30,20,10…!” My first year playing real contact football, I’ve waited for ever to actually play and when I got the chance I wanted to show all my skills that I've acquired over the years that I’ve been waiting . My first team name was the Hurricanes, we shaped out to be a really good team we. We had a line that could withstand an earthquake, we also had running backs that could sprint faster than light can reflect off a mirror.…
Whether working out in the summer to improve my skills as a football player or studying for a test, hard work always pays off in the end of anything you work hard for. Sometimes in life teenagers have to grow up and accept whatever life throws at them quicker than what they would like to. The players of the Patrick Henry football program knew that we had to begin the transition back to the winning dynasty of PH football through the 2000’s. Through both hard work in the weightroom and in studying opponents and ourselves, we have started this year undefeated at 12-0, won the NWOAL league championship, and hosted a playoff game at Big Red…
It was October 16, 2012. I was in seventh grade, just a boy to become someone or something. We were loading the bus with our two coaches, Coach Voss and Coach Larh. Coach Voss the offensive coach who liked to make us run, and coach larh, our Defensive coach who taught me everything I known about the defensive side of the ball. This was a big game for me and my fellow teammates this game was going to set the tone for the rest of the season to show that we can be successful.…
In sixth grade, I wanted nothing more than to make Lusher’s middle school flag football team. I had dreamed of being on the team from the very first day I heard about it; all of my friends were trying out with me; and we had grand plans for a year of non-contact, semi-athletic exertion ahead of us. Having been anxiously awaiting the lunch period when the team roster would be revealed, I was thusly dismayed, disappointed, and disheartened when my name was not one of the eighteen posted on the PE office door. My mother, in all her eternal wisdom, saw a way out of the pit of despair I had sunk into: Lusher was starting an Academic Games team, and she thought I might enjoy playing. I was more than somewhat hesitant; she was more than somewhat…
It was less then a second, maybe half a second, but it decided our championship hopes. We were down by 3, on our own 35 with 42.3 seconds left in the 2023 season. Let's take it back though back to the beggining of the season. Our first game of the season was against Oklahoma, one of the best teams in the nation last year. Their running back S P. Ryan was one of the most brusing backs in college football.…
Fall in Oxford Michigan is all about high school football. Unless you happen to be in middle school which I was, then it’s about middle school football. I had never had much interest in the sport, didn’t even know half the rules, but Luke had been bugging me to join the football team that year, which was our 8th grade year. Middle school football in our county was divided into Heavy-weight and Light-weight. Heavies are anyone over 130lbs, the Lights are anyone under, and I weighed about 95lbs with sand in my shoes.…
When I was in the fourth grade I started to started my football career. Playing football has changed my life and has made me who I am. My football journey, begins here. It all began at Crowville Middle School when I was 9 years old. I joined the Crowville tackle one football team.…
This football squad was far from ideal but the five of us made the best of the team we were given and carried our team all the way through middle school. In our three years of middle school football we had won about half our games and we were hopeful we would be able to keep up next year in high…
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.…
The day I discovered rugby, my life changed. Learning to play rugby is more than simply learning to pass the ball or memorising terminology; it is about learning to support each other, pushing through hardships for the sake of the team, and working as a collective unit. Rugby is a state of mind: believing you can and doing what you must. Playing representative rugby allowed me to share my enthusiasm for the sport with others who share the same passion. I was first encouraged to try out for the Fraser Valley team and later on, I was selected to play for Team BC.…
My Passion Throughout all my years of playing football, my passion for the game went undiscovered until my senior season. I’ve played football for as long as I can remember. From playing flag football in third and fourth grade, all the way up to my senior year of high school, it has always been a part of my life. I always found myself doing something football-related, whether it be playing with friends, watching on TV, or playing it on the PlayStation. To me, football is a way of bonding with friends and family.…
