Friday nights held a special place in the hearts of the people in Floodwood. The bright lights and the game of football are what everyone looked forward to on those nights. My town was one of the smallest towns in my area with a population of five hundred people. It was small but close knit place, where you knew everyone and everyone knew you. There was one main road leading in and out of town and the rest of them were dirt. One of the perks of living in such a small town was that you got to…

I first started playing football at the age of 8, beginning with recreational activities at my primary school and then progressing to girl’s grass roots teams. At this time, I began competing in occasional matches against other local schools. At this point, the key focus of training was ‘FUNdamentals’ according the Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model. This stage emphasised developing key movement skills, such as agility, balance, passing, kicking. etc, by using fun drills in a variety of…

In high school, everyone dreams of having that perfect sports season their senior year. Everyone hopes that they can be the senior that leaves an impression on the underclassmen, whether it’s teaching them something new or giving them a taste of playoffs so they have the drive to get back to there once you’ve graduated. I remember being a freshman and not only getting the taste of playoffs, but getting the whole thing. We made it through playoffs that year and won states against our rivals.…

have never been in my favor if I never worked for it. But it had all come to a sudden halt. Growing up sports was my leadway to getting into a good college. I had good grades but the athletic side of me will always be better. I started playing football at 6 years old, when I moved to Massachusetts. I always wanted to play for Boston College, although I never had the size. I got my own personal trainer and joined every possible camp I could go to. My life was going just as planned. I had…

We all stood up and began our slow march towards the football turf, as our teacher opened the door, we could feel the heat emanating and cutting through the air conditioning that we all so terribly wanted to stay in. Our two senior gym leaders trailed behind us to make sure no one attempted to escape on our…

Being on my high school football team, the honor roll, and in Teen Leadership are all accomplishments I am very proud of. Being able to stay focused and determined helped me to reach these accomplishments. When I set a goal for myself, as I did with those accomplishments, I have to achieve the goal because I don’t like to fail; it is something that I can’t and won’t accept. This past year in football I was faced with a great deal of adversity. Early in the football season I received two…
