American football positions

duration of their lives because of playing football. With these risks in mind, it can be a challenge to maintain love for sport as harmful and hazardous as football; yet, I have seen all the good that this game can provide. Football can provide purpose and structure to those who need it most in their lives. The right team can set young athletes on a path of personal and emotional success. Finally, as you will see in my own story, one’s relationship with football has the ability to form and…

at practice and try my best everyday because I really do want to get better. The better I get the more I could possibly get noticed and impress colleges. Although this is only my freshman year, I’m really looking to make an impact on varsity. My football season went great, and I really got my name out there, so I want to continue this trend for wrestling. People say practice makes perfect, and everything you do you have to practice it. Going to practice and actually trying will make me not…

I write because I’m a writer. I write because I can. I write because I have nothing else to do. I write because I can do anything I want. I write because I feel like it. Or if the teacher makes me. I write about the slam-dunked footballs. I write beginnings and ends. Lots of middles too. I write for pleasure. I write for joy. I write because I’m a nice boy. I write in the summer. I write in the spring. I also write in winter. And even autumn too. I write for those who cannot write. And those who…

One of my greatest passions is deer hunting. The rush, the satisfaction, the connection with nature. I love it all. Some say I can’t be any good just because I’m a girl. Ask my brothers and they’ll say otherwise. In 2014 I shot my first buck. It was a massive, 220 pound, eight point. I was only 12 years old at the time and I was absolutely ecstatic. Watching him fall down to his face in defeat sent my adrenaline racing. I just couldn’t get enough. In 2015 I shot the biggest doe I’ve ever seen…

The Ultimate Sport Pow! The disc smacked me right in the lip while and everyone cheered. Ultimate Frisbee began for me in middle school. Every recess, my friends and I would run outside with an old disc as fast as we could to play. Ultimate is a great sport that requires a ton of skill as well as physical endurance. In middle school, I already knew how to run because I ran cross-country, so the endurance was not difficult too hard for me to master. All the other kids hated the running, but I…

as big of a deal, if not more, than American football is in the United States. While soccer has not been in the United States for that long, the American people do not elevate it to the same status as they do baseball, basketball, or football. In the rest of the world, soccer is considered to be their pastime and they watch it at all times of the year and have a great love and respect for the game that cannot be compared to a love for another sport. Americans mainly see soccer as a game for…

The Bad Knee As I see the ball flying up in the Monticello Trails gym, I knew I could catch it and get the other team out. Once I try to jump up to get it, my feet don’t even leave the ground before I feel a horrible pain in left knee. A terrible pain I hoped never to feel again. Dislocation is the displacement of one or more bones at a joint according to the Merriam Dictionary. Dislocation feels like someone ripping one of your extremities off. That is one of the most unsatisfying feelings…

would find a sport to play. I had lots of choices, but I managed to find football. My first experience was watching it on television. When I saw the ball get snapped I realized that every player moved on the ball. They were always mean, and grunting, and some of them say trashtalk. So one day my dad decided to teach me how to play. As soon as he told me that, I jumped up and down and said “YES!” He taught me plays and positions. Whenever he told me something I didn’t know my head would tilt…
