American Football Conference

This summer was definitely one to remember. I may not have had the most exciting or eventful summer, but I cannot complain. I was constantly doing something with work, friends, and football. When I looked back on this summer, I mostly remember working and working. It is not that I worked a ton, but that I did not do much else. I would be lying if I said I did not have fun working, it helps that I work with two of my friends, Riley Calhoon and Colton Best. We all work on Colton’s family’s ranch.…

Ruszkiewicz, a discourse community is defined as “a group of people who share common interests, goals, values, assumptions, knowledge of a topic… and discursive patterns.” In this paper, I’ll explain how I successfully became a member of my high school’s football team by building a strong relationship with my team mates, paying attention to detail, and going the extra mile throughout practice. I will also be able to carry out my explanation through the usage of ethos, logos and pathos appeals.…

hardcore Bears fan, but the mother is a diehard Packers fan? For me this divide pushed me away from football. I was the athletic child in the family so naturally my parents strove to gain my allegiance to their respective team. Without being able to choose a team without offending one parent, I never had a team to cheer on, eventually causing me to be ambivalent towards the sport that many Americans spend their Sundays enjoying. This arbitrary divide in my life mirrors another, more important…

The book began with the main character Mick Johnson training to become the starting running back on his High School football team. He was determined to be like his father who went to the pros. As Mick was trying to get better, his father signed him up for a gym membership at a gym called Popeye's. A gym that the radio station Mick's father works for recently bought. Mick continued to weight train first at his school’s gym, then at Popeye’s and still felt no results. He wanted to get an edge over…

When I was a lot younger playing sports wasn’t always easy because of asthma. In the eighth grade, instead of playing basketball after football season, I decided to wrestle instead. One time in the seventh grade I went to the 2013 OKWA Novice State wrestling tournament. After several matches in the tournament I made it to the semi-finals. I won that match in double overtime. It might not seem like much, but I learned a valuable lesson. During that double overtime, I was so exhausted that I…

I Corinthians 9:24 states, “Do you not know that those who run a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you obtain it”. This Bible verse has had significant meaning to me particularly while running track in high school. Track is a sport that requires hard work, determination, speed, focus, and self-discipline. While being a member of a small high school track team, I found it necessary to put in additional training and hard work. As a senior, I felt it was my…

neighbor?s house and play with them, which taught me how to be social and not be shy. Then my family would teach me how to be humble, not greedy, not to hate and many other things. My dad showed me that life isn't going to be easy by putting me in football because that sport is aggressive and mean but makes you stronger mentally.…

individual - forcing them to choose between “breaking free” or remaining in the lane society places them in. In regards to Rudy, the protagonist in the film Rudy, finds himself in this dilemma. Since a young child, Rudy knew that he wanted to play football, but due to his size and height, those around him discouraged that dream. Repeatedly, he was told that he was not good enough and “chasing a dream causes nothing but heartache.”…

When we went through the mud slides made us tackle Michael Wombacher when we were all muddy. Also when Joe Lazzell was hitting a Gatorade bottle with Corey Hardema golf, Joe…
