The petoskey classic Our soccer team entered a tournament in Petoskey Michigan, and in the highest division (gold, silver, and bronze) Our team had been getting really good at the time so we figured we had a good chance of getting to the finals. It was a 5 and a half hour drive to our condos,I was getting very claustrophobic in the car. When we got to the condos my legs were cramped because i hadn't walked or stretched for too long.…
My Knee Surgery First varsity basketball game, first quarter, 3:53 left on the clock. We were playing Ridgway at the time. On defense, everything was going great. I got a steal up the left hand side and I was pushing so hard ready to score the first 2 points of the game.…
After two more plays we punted the ball, I was lined up on the outside as a bullet, the ball was snapped and kicked down the field. The defenders in front of me back peddled and slammed on the breaks to try and put a block on me but I stepped to the side quickly and avoided it, the ball carrier was getting closer, I met him at the sideline, lowered my shoulder and sent him out of bounds. I stood up, my whole body felt as if it was made of jello, my control over my eyes was gone, they kept drifting all over the place uncontrollably. Luckily I was close enough to my sideline and someone on my team could see something wasn't.…
Imagine a baseball tee falling on your head. Can you picture it? Well, that happened to me. When that baseball tee fell on my head, it hurt, and it wasn't easy to deal with, but I persevered and got through it. So how it happened was, I was 5 or 6 years old, my whole family was outside, and I went into the shed.…
My Last Soccer Game It was the morning of my last soccer game of the season. I still haven't made my first goal yet so I was determined to that day. As I got out of my car walked through the grass to get to my team and start stretching to prepare for our last game, the smell of wet grass hit me in the face. My soccer cleats began to get wet and sink into the wet muddy grass as I walked.…
The rest of the school day seemed to fly by and before I knew it I was at the fields about to start practice. Our coach called us out and told us to go to the position we wanted to play. I went to short as well as the coach 's son(Sean). There was nobody at second and the unpredictable…
Everyone on the base was running and we got 2 runs. The score was 5-4 our team. I had fallen a lot and my knees are all scared up. Now…. everyone is afraid to play kickball because of what happened to me.…
A ball was hit to me and it broke my hand. At the time i didn’t think that I had broke my hand. Then not a second later I picked up the ball and tried to throw it. The pain in my hand was so bad! I fell on the ground and just held it.…
Who or what is FIFA and why does the FIFA scandal concern me? First, let’s look into FIFA. FIFA (La Fédération Internationale de Football Association) is the international governing body of football (better known as soccer here in the US). FIFA is responsible for the organization of football 's major international tournaments, most notably the Men’s and Women’s World Cup. FIFA was founded on May 21, 1904 in Paris by delegates from Belgium, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.…
Mistakes I Learned From Have you ever made a mistake well I have it wasn’t a real bad mistake but I sure did learn from them. Tons of people learn from their mistake just like I did when I didn’t know how to do the plays on the offensive line or how to stay low on the defensive line and last A mistake that I made was coming off the defensive line too high and if you come off the line to high you will get drove back a ton of yards and. You’re prolly not going to make a tackle so you're not really doing what you was suppose to do .…
Broken arm: The basketball thuds against the pavement. Clank, swoosh thunk, the basketball hits the backboard, then through the hoop then the ground. I was by no means an all star basketball player. Soccer and volleyball have always been more of my thing. Even though I wasn’t any good, Dad was, and man oh man was he hard to beat.…
After 90 minutes of intense soccer the game ended in a draw and taken into penalties. I was assigned the fifth penalty and at that point it was either score or lose. I remember stepping up to the spot and kicking the ball wide as everyone was watching. At that moment I didn't know what to do. I was so ashamed about missing that I did not want to show my face to anyone.…
The first factor that football is a phenomenon unparalleled, as pointed out in his post Ramón Flores, that football can be played virtually no media. This may seem silly, but it is not so. Other sports require minimum conditions to be practiced. Basketball requires a basket to height, a ball that boat and an area of more or less flat game; cycling, pardon the platitude, requires a bicycle; the tennis rackets and balls; handball also requires a ball that boat; water sports need a pool; and so much more. On the contrary, football can be played with only one ball, or something you replace more or less effectively: a ball of cloth, wadded paper or even a stone.…
Governing bodies of sports play a fundamental role in our society, therefore good governance principles is necessary to uphold an organization’s missions. Elements of good governance include direction, power, regulation, and control. These are all things that FIFA seemed to have in place, yet here we are with a great deal of corruption and football fans calling for reform. As the co-President of FIFA, I will help restructure an organization that will be free from corruption and that will restore the global soccer community’s faith in FIFA.…
Crushed As I walked out onto the field, dressed in my white jersey that i had washed the night before, I felt nervous and confident at the same time. It was my last soccer game and I told myself I would try my best and play until i couldn 't stand on my two feet. The field we were playing on wasn 't the field that we usually play on it was the football field. We were playing on the football field because it was senior night at our school for the soccer girls so we played under the lights.…
