Why Football Is Important To Me

Decent Essays
Down, set, hut! I Love to hear those words. The adrenaline pumping through your veins as you play out the plays from the quarterback.This moment means everything to me. Football is my life, it keeps me going and motivated. Being on that field makes all of my worries or problems go away. I am in full control on that field. Shutting down anyone that comes my way. Even though it’s game I play no games on the field. All joking and shenanigans cease once I hit that field. The only thing that matters is winning and being there for my team. Whenever i’m down or having a bad day I go out and do drills. Throw the football around a little. This keeps my mind cleared and focused. I become one with the ball, it’s as if nothing else matters.

    Emotional Intelligence Flag football was exciting, but I was ecstatic for my first padded practice the summer going into sixth grade. It was my first football practice in full pads and I was so excited, I had only played flag football up until this so this was going to be the best day of my life. I was actually going to play real football, but I never thought that it would teach me one of the most influential lessons that I have ever learned. It was the perfect day for football, mid-seventies with a slight breeze with a beautiful sunset.…

    Out in the long grassed outfield, all my worries went away. I forgot all that happened the innings before. All that mattered was if the ball entered the outfield air, the ball was mine. Nothing could stop me, I loved it too much. The outfield felt so small, I know I could cover all the field.…

    It was beginning to get dark on a Thursday night in the middle of November of my freshman year in high school. As we were beginning to conclude practice, Coach King called us into a huddle to discuss with us the game plan for our next game against Calvary Christian School. As coach was addressing all of the tasks that needed to be done before the game the next day, I was overwhelmed with a certain nervousness that sent chill through my body. Earlier in the week, our starting quarterback was injured and I was given the starting job. At the time that I was first told that I would be the starting quarterback for the coming week’s semifinal game, I did not experience any nervous feeling.…

    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.…

    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…
