Personal Narrative: My First Football Team

Improved Essays
As I walk onto the football field for the first game of the season I feel the cool air rise up my spine. I feel the energy from my team as we form together as one, we stand in the corner of the field ready to run out. Our helmets give off a brand new polish since we haven’t used them that much, they shine in the light giving us a bright glisten of navy blue and white. We huddle around and form a circle, our captains start a chant and we follow. When the announcer announces us we storm onto the field breaking the sign, when I take my first couple steps onto the turf I can feel the individual pieces of rubber start to form around my cleat, it feels like a tempur pedic bed the way my cleats sink in, as I walk onto that field for my first Junior …show more content…
When I see the other team on the other side of the field butterflies form in my stomach, but then I look back at my team and know that we will not be defeated since we have something that most teams don’t have, a bond that can’t be broken, we are a family.

The night begins with a kick and cheering all around, giving the team excitement and a boost of energy. When we kick the ball it goes all the way to the 20 yard line and the other team could only make it to the 26 yard line. Our defense runs out onto the field to put a halt on the offenses schemes, While I watch I feel the cool air run down my spine again, It makes me shake.

I watch the coach call our play and our linebacker relays it to the rest of the defense. Our sideline starts to get rowdy and we all start to chant, That’s the moment i realised that we were all in this together even though some kids knew they wouldn’t play they still gave it their all on the sideline. The defense got a three and out stop not letting the other team score and that was my cue to go onto the field. Nine other players and I formed a huddle with our quarterback and waited for him to say the play coach suggested. We run to the line of scrimmage, I check in with the referee to make sure a foot is on the line. As I look at the kid across from me i know he’s thinking what i’m thinking and that is we are about to go to war and the best man will come out”alive”.

    We were all shuffling to get set, I took the snap and spiked the ball to stop the clock. The ball was at the 29 yard line. We ran a screen play to Caleb and he picked up 16 yards and got out of bounds to stop the clock once again. We now have marched 54 yards which set us up with first and ten from the 14 yard line, with only 20 seconds left! Next I completed a pass to Derek and he reached the ball out just inside the one yard line.…

    The majority of my lacrosse career depended upon my natural talent. With little work, I could coast and still outclass the majority of my teammates. That is, I could until I was pushed onto varsity as a sophomore. Instead of getting the steady playing time I expected, I was only permitted to enter the game when things got out out hand. Frustrated, I asked my father what I could do to earn a reliable spot on the field, and he told me that if I augmented talent with practice and outworked the rest of my teammates, there would be no reason for Coach to keep me off the field.…

    My breaths echo under my helmet as I race towards the end zone. A flash of skin appears in my peripheral vision, and I roughly jump over the body that nearly took me down. With the last of my strength, I sprint until I cross the end zone. Catching my breath, I’m hit from behind as my team chants my name.
