Before the Game

At first, I believe the whole of my was as nervous as I was (probably why we lost many games at first). During the middle of the season we became extra confident, also, our trust for one another increased as we became friends, therefore, we started to win games. Later on, I became incredibly attached to my team I would feel awful for missing a practice or game. I would also feel as though I let the team down if a shot slipped by me(I was the goalie). We didn't win the end…

video games. Her hands would tingly itch when she had a controller in the palm of her hands. Marinette had the perfect characteristics as a gamer: coy, confident, and very cunning for her young age. Marinette kept those qualities to herself when she played against her friends. Marinette wanted to just play for fun, so she never found herself at being competitive with her friends. Marinette wasn’t conceited in the slightest, but she knew that she could have beat her friends in a video game if she…

Kennum playing I would have thought Peyton Manning came out of retirement to play in this game. Keenum threw for 369 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Vikings just picked apart Ryan Smith and Vernon Hargreaves all game. On the first drive, Adam Thielen just straight beat Vernon on a double move for 45-yards. That set up Dalvin cooks questionable touchdown run. Adam just ran right passed Vernon who is still learning the game but should never be burned like that! Later in the quarter on a 3rd and 12,…

As I enter the arena I hear the crowd chanting. I can see both teams warming up before the game. As I sit on the bench, I can feel the soft texture of cotton as I start to tie my shoe-lace. I start in my position as tip-off starts. My teammate gets jump ball and the ball is in my hands. I feel rubber as I dribble towards the net while hearing a ball bouncing on the court. I shoot the ball and it goes in! I have the ball once again as I pass it to my teammate and he scores. Half time is about to…

The game had started and I was running towards the goal with the ball at my feet. Take a shot I repeated to myself, score a goal. “Shoot!” I lifted my foot hitting the ball into the air spinning to the goal. It was saturday morning and the sun was shining bright. I was outside practicing shooting goals. I really wanted to score a goal. I had a game later that day and I was so excited. I had been working all morning on shooting goals.I was so focused on shooting I could barely hear my…

win the title. In the past Kennebunk had beaten us in the championship game multiple times, and now we had our chance. After a short time, we had to pack up and go to Hermon, Maine for the state tournament; where we would spend one week together in a campground. The Hermon team was hosting the state championship tournament, so all of the teams had to go and play up in Hermon. Hermon is a small town in Maine up near Bangor. Before it was time to go to Hermon we spent about a week or two…

How Outdoors Impacted My Life When I was young, all I did was play outside. Being outdoors was all we did as kids. Summers consisted of long wiffle ball games that ended up being overly intense, complete eight-teen man baseball games out in the field, and huge blowout soccer games that would last hours. The last, but my most favorite activity was fishing, it is a passion I cannot stray from. From the time I could walk I have fished. While I was planning this paper I struggled with a topic, after…

catching and fielding balls hit by a batter or thrown from a teammate.” To some that do not know the game, a baseball glove is a brown piece of leather to catch a baseball, but to me it has a lot more meaning. The smell of the glove, breaking it in just how it should be, and best of all making a sensational diving play is what I love the most about my glove. Without a glove I could not play the game I love to play, and playing baseball has helped me become who I am today. I have been playing…

since I first began. My first love had to be the great game of football. Being my extracurricular activity of choice, I believed it gave me the sense of family away from home. My coaches became the father figures I was missing in life and my teammates became my brothers. For anyone who’s involved in an extracurricular activity like football would agree. Being around such activities has impacted my life a great deal. As referenced before, my coaches served as an interim father figure. By…

schedule to play soccer on the weekend. Exercise is a great way to distress and get away from all the school activities. I am fortunate to live near a public park where we meet together for a lovely soccer game. It is also an opportunity to expand my horizons meeting new people. Soccer is a game with many rules to establish a playable environment. Disobeying them can lead to ramifications and often lead long discussions. In soccer a corner also called a corner kick is awarded to the attacking…
