I cannot believe that i let this happen, i am really stupid. They were right behind me, right there! I was running as fast as i could and they were still gaining on me. I hate guards, I mean why do they have to be so well trained and perfect. I guess i know why they're so well trained they have to protect whatever it is they were told to. In my case it was the crown jewels of Berlin. The whole thing happened so fast that it still plays in my mind. Okay, come on, Emily you can do this, that's…

In this essay, I will be discussing the method and results of two academic journals on the topic of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries within females who play football. Paper one, taken from the Journal of Sport Rehabilitation examines longitudinal changes in hip strength and range of motion within female youth soccer players, whereas paper two, taken from Asian J Sports Med highlights the most likely situation where an ACL injury occurs.

Before coming to United States, I was pretty confident that I could assimilate to the American culture easily because I spent a whole year talking and learning with American professors at high school.

In a day and age when NFL players spend far too much of their time criticizing owners, GMs and coaches, it was a wonderful gesture to see New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. pay homage to Head Coach Tom Coughlin after the couch announced he was stepping down from his post after 12 seasons. Prior to announcement being made, Beckham was heard saying “I love Coach Coughlin. He’s always going to be my coach.” When pressed about how hard the coach had been on him in the past, Beckham…

the atmosphere was ineffable, it felt like the whole panhandle was in the Eagles Stadium. The atmosphere is nonsensical, two minutes into the first quarter, I receive the ball on second down and make a good deranged play then fall. Four of Tate's Football players fall on my ankle and I roll it. Halftime comes, the trainers rush me to the weight room and tape my ankles up like a box getting shipped off or Christmas gifts getting all boxed up. By the time the trainers got done wrapping me up and…

because I felt as if I didn’t need to listen to my foster parents because they weren’t my real parents. They always tried to discipline me as a kid but it could never work, that’s when football came in. it was far more than hard work, dedication, and long days of being fatigue; there was a more valuable lesson behind football which was family, discipline, and hope.
