Why Is Football Important To You Essay

Improved Essays
The feeling, when I first caught a football, it's one of the best feelings you can get. When you first see the players come out of the tunnel, you know their feeling and the smile they have on their face.Then when you have your first time on the field, you can feel the intensity, and the adrenaline kicks in. The game itself is such an exhausting game that's why it's only played once a week and sixteen times a year total. If it were played every day, the people playing the game wouldn't be standing today, from all the hits received from other players whether on offense or defense.
When the first ball is thrown, there's always a chance for you to make a play but that doesn't mean you can put your life on the line for it. The play you make can determine your whole season, at first when the ball enters your hands you know you came to play this game and everything you do for your team.That split second when the ball is in the air coming in your direction your a little bit frightened because of the hit that will come out of nowhere and knock the ball out of your hands.The defense is always on your back, wherever you go they will be there, and they will irritate you and make you frustrated

When you have the football in your hands, you give it all you have, because if a person wants something, then you will chase it and get it.Life is hard, life is meant to be a challenge nothing comes easy so does football. As a football great once said “Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.Also, it goes the other way the game of life is a lot like football. You have to tackle your problems, block your fears, and score your points when you get the opportunity” (Lombardi

    Even though football has been around me for so long I never really understood the game. I tried multiple times to understand, but it just wasn’t matching up in my brain. I asked my mother at one point and she explained somethings like, who the quarterback is and how a touchdown is made, but other then that it didn’t make sense. I can't even began to tell you how many times I asked my mother how the game works. I had watched football games for my bother, and even in high school, but the game was just a bunch of players in padding running after another player who had the ball.…

    The moment you step foot on the field you get that rush of this is where I belong. The bright lights in your face like the blazing sun in your eyes. The freshly new practice jersey and uniform having the smell of the downy softner with the sweat of hard work tieing it down and not letting go. The smell of the fresh cut grass that seeps into your nose like the fresh air. The found grass stains that have penetrated your uniform like a little green army that have marked their territory.…

    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…

    Conclusion Essay Football is a huge part of my life as I started to play this game at the young age of five. Throughout the years of playing and countless hours of “up downs” and what seemed like running forever, I acquired a lot more than just bruises and broken bones. I learned skills that I can carry with me for life. Football is a classic american sport that is possibly the most violent of all sports and while 47% of all concussions occur in highschool, it is still one of the most widely popular sport played by kids all over America. I would give my son permission to play this violent sport because I want him to experience and learn all the good attributes such as respect, teamwork, and building confidence.…

    From a young age, I always loved playing football; being out on the field is one of the best feelings ever. The adrenaline, hearing the crowd cheering, scoring touchdowns; it a rush that goes through my veins and I cannot get enough of it. I would play because I enjoyed it, but I had no idea how the simple game of football would change my life for the better. Growing up I used to see my friends come home from little league practice everyday on school days and that really used to make me mad. They used to get home when the street lights were on and we were not able to come outside and play at that time.…

    It was a brisk fall evening with the sun just about to set behind a hill. I was 10 years old, playing in my third season of football, and my first ever game under the bright lights surrounding the high school stadium. The time had finally come, the lights had been on and warming up for several minutes, I was going to play a game under the lights on the high school field. My experiences that night were not forgotten, but today I couldn’t even tell you if we won the game that night. The lessons I learned that night weren’t about winning and losing, I had done plenty of that already in my life.…
