Personal Narrative: Youth Football

Decent Essays
“You’ll always be too small, you should quit.” Those words have stuck with me and will stick with me until I prove him wrong. It started in youth football my second year of playing and i was kind of nervous about playing and i wasn’t very gregarious. My coach didn’t help with that at all. My coach was one of the most intense and hardest working coaches in the league are first game was coming up and he was pushing us to are absolute limits out on the field which was not the best idea in my mind because we were undefeated so far this year and we had our toughest game coming up and we all knew we had a chance at the championship this year but he still pushed us until we were bending over gasping for air.

Halfway through the game we were getting beat and it was bad the score was 35-14 at halftime our coach yelled at us and was just overall not happy with …show more content…
But it didn't look to good for us on there first drive they had a 30 yard pass down the field for a touchdown and that gave them a lot of momentum and confidence to keep going and at that moment everyone on my team had a discretion that we were gonna lose. After the game are coach was really angry at us and yelled at us and i can remember him looking right at me and specifically saying that “You’ll always be too small, you should quit. hWhich i didn't really have an understanding of why he was only really mad at me but i sorta had and idea because we hadn't lost this season and i was even mad at myself at the end of the game but i couldn't help but feel like he was making it sound like we lost because of me and that really stuck with

    It was our turn to go back out in the field. We got through the inning without them scoring and headed back into hit. We did not have any luck with our bats during the second inning.

    You can't always be perfect as then everyone that plays football will be NFL superstars right out the gate. There's a reason why one team loses and one team wins, it's because the team that lost just made the most mistakes in that game as opposed to the winning team. It won't be all your fault if you make a mistake or lose anyway as you are a team and someone could have prevented the mistake from occurring. Also don't take it personally when a coach yells at you as they are only stressed because of the responsibilities and want you to get better. Just remember we are all human and just learn from that mistake so you can prevent it from happening…
