Decent Essays
This year I had the opportunity to go to a football camp at Brigham Young University. It was for four days, Monday to Thursday and was from 9:00 to 11:30 then lunch them from 1:30 to 5:00. I was a very cool experience and was very fun and lots of things happen that was both tranquil and turbulent. I would say I am mostly tranquil until it comes to sports. Here are some things that happened when I was there.

    I have played baseball ever since I was a young kid, but somehow, at seventeen I still had numerous struggles with it. You would think after my grandpa being drafted to the Pittsburgh Pirates, a Major League baseball team, and my dad getting a full ride to the University of Denver their skill would have rubbed off on me, but you would be wrong.

    On the day of November 6th, 1869 the first game regarded as a game of football was played. The two collegiate teams participating in the game were Rutgers and Princeton, two Ivy League rivals trying to revolutionize collegiate sports (www.nfl.com). Although if a person were to have watched this game they would have a hard time believing this was football at all. This is because the game played on that day very closely resembled the game of rugby. Teams still consisted of 20 players on each side, but this is still considered the first official football game ever to be played between two teams.…

    I had just entered my junior year in high school and was back to playing football, my grades were good so far and my A.D.D. medication was helping me a lot. Zach and I had just arrived at the union school for a junior varsity game against Oceanside high school, we geared up and got ready for the game. I started the game at quarterback and the game wasn't going well for us, which didn't come as a surprise because jv games are never enjoyable.

    I was never a sporty kid. For the majority of my childhood, my hobbies have included reading, playing video games, and other generic nerd activities. If you had asked me if I wanted to play a sport, I would have laughed at the prospect, so I surprised even myself when I answered yes to my mother’s inquiry about joining my school’s new flag football team. I worried about it for the weeks leading up to the first practice, but eventually I decided “Why not? It may end up being fun.”…
