Before the Game

A friday night football game, the air is smoky from the cheers of the fans. The defense sets up like a brick wall. Jake is looking for someone to get open. His eyes were looking at the uprights. The wall crumbles as the linebacker 98 jumps over the line wrapping around Jake launching him to the ground like a sack of potatoes with a thud. He points at Jake and scream’s, “Whoo! Not in my house!” The buzzer screams… now it’s half time. A great day for football; damp so the cleats stick,…

find a way anyways, like Dustin Pedroia. Although I loved the game of baseball with…

general concept of the game, but more importantly how to actually take part and play in the game. You can not just learn one part you need to learn all parts of the game. I know exactly what this process is like. Softball is a game that has many skills you must come close to perfecting if you want to be successful. The time and patience it takes can be frustrating, but will always pay off in the end. Before you can take part in playing the game, everyone has to learn how to game is played in…

For examples in games like Football and volleyball, children are expected to always win using strategies that involve physical contact. If they ever fail, they are questioned about the failure. It makes the children feel bad about the loss and leave them disheartened. I remember when I was a child and used to play football in a local club, I was good at tackling and the defense position, once I was asked to play on the attacking position. I had never played this position before so there was a…

“It is crazy with football today, since everyone watches it like it is the world's greatest thing for example, lots of people spend money to watch, whenever the big game starts up. Well football is a great sport for a lot of people, as they spend lots of money to watch it, so they could see their team win, once the winning team wins people goes home to talk about it. The sport is great as well, because everyone on the team works as one, and it builds character for the person playing it, as it is…

the match, having the game of his life with some incredible charges mixed with a never-before-seen ball playing ability to set up various tries. Mounties were missing Sam Williams, but that did not seem to bother them as they ran in five tries to down the Jets 30 points to 12. Both sides displayed plenty of energy in the opening stages of the match, but none more so than the in-form Jarrad Kennedy, who broke open the Newtown left-edge defence just six minutes into the game, and set up a try…

morning in august the first game of the season I attended Midway Park for their open day youth football game of the 8u team and the temperature was about 90 degree and while watching the game after 30 minutes into the game one of the official when down on the field. I was call to the field to administer aid to him. Action: I ran to the field and notice that official had when down due to dehydration and a lack of proper water or Gatorade before entering the field to call the game. Our emergency…

fit in, I saw a few people playing a card game at one of the tables. The game caught my attention and I walked over to check out what they were playing. That was when I was introduced into Magic: The Gathering. I didn’t particularly like the game at first with more rules than the United States Constitution. However, just like the Anti-Federalists, I learned to accept the constraints the game imposed on emerging victorious. One of the mechanics of the game that I fell in love with was the…

semis. The night before the semi final game we got a phone call asking me to play for them, due to one of there players had broken their leg. The game was against the second best team in the competition, Central Districts, us being first (Undefeated) I knew how privileged I was to play for the team however, if we were to lose the game it would make us undefeated and not be able to make the grand final. Making me really pressured to perform. I had one day to practice before the game, I got…

inspiring speech before them. Soon, my soccer team was built up with 14 men, and I was elected to be the captain. We began to play soccer from a fundamental perspective, practicing elementary skills every morning and afternoon. When I thought that our team was ready for the real game, I talked the president of soccer club into organizing soccer match on campus. Unfortunately, our team lost in the first game with a score of 0-3. The failure pushed me to find effective ways to win next game…
