In freshman year of high school, I decided to try out for the freshman soccer team. I had not played for the middle school team but I had played for a club outside of school. Most of my teammates were also trying out so I decided that I should try out too. The first round of tryouts were two days long after school and the second round was one day. Out of the 34 kids that tried out, ten would be cut in the first round. On the first day of tryouts, we were doing all kinds of passing, shooting,…

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. It's the…

A couple days before poms annual summer camp. My coach gets that look in her eyes that everybody despises. I knew what was coming and I was totally terrified. She got out her notebook and pencil. We all got quiet because we are all hoping the same thing. My hands started to shake and I started sweating like a pig as she walked forward towards us. Coach walks straight to the blue basketball line. She stops right on the edge with the glimmer in her eye. With her flashy smile plastered against…

An accomplishment I had in my past was only have 5 loses on entire season of baseball last year. In years past we had been very bad. We worked our tails of every practice and during lifting we came back every year better than the last. Last year was so special because it was our last year together, we had been together for 5 years through thick and thin and in the past year we really got it together. I wasn't easy but we did it. It really shows when we slaughter teams who used to cream us,…

In “The Natural,” the character Pop Fisher is the coach and thus “king” of the “knights,” the ball team that the main character of the book joins and plays on. Furthermore, throughout the book he is mentioned to have a sort of athlete’s foot on his hands and that the Knight’s field also seems similar to a wasteland that would correspond with Pop’s hands’ condition, very similar to the “Tale of the Fisher King.” Other than his condition and relevance to the tale mentioned before, he is also known…

Sports are fun to play. I am a natural sportsperson. Whenever I go outside, I look for friends to play sporting games so I have a lot of practice with all sports. But, it I am given a choice, I would have to say that softball is my favorite sport. I like softball because it helps me stay active, it keeps me alert and it is fun. I love to get up early in the morning and play a game of softball. It gives me a chance to move about the field in every direction just by hitting that small yellow…

Scars During the summer of seventh grade I broke my hand. I was at the high school's soccer camp and we were playing a game called hunters and rabbits. One team was the hunters, and the other were the rabbits. I was a rabbit. The hunters would shoot balls at the rabbits as they ran across the field. When a rabbit got hit they would join the hunters. I had made it through the first few rounds, but now there were even more hunters, and I was losing confidence in myself. Sure enough as I ran across…
