In the debate over whether success in sports comes from physical prowess or mental agility, Sanneh , the author of “What Could Be Better Than A Touchdown” and Heinrich, the author of Why We Run have similar views, with both authors supporting the idea that mental agility and physical prowess are equally important in sports. Mental strength and agility are just as important as physical prowess in sports. The article “What could be better than a Touchdown” shows that in every sport it is…

Football in Autumn When I got into third grade I wanted to start playing tackle football, the best type. At first I didn’t know a whole lot about football, but I wanted to learn. I also thought that it would be a fun sport to play. Eventually, I realized that football was going to be a big part of my life. The first number that I got assigned was #34, one of the first games I played I caught in interception. During my third grade season I got around four sacks and eight tackles. The position I…

Quarterbacks in the NFL Future first round hall of famer Payton manning once said “I think I could describe the perfect quarterback. Take a little piece of everybody. Take John Elway's arm, Dan Marino's release, maybe Troy Aikman's drop-back, Brett Favre's scrambling ability, Joe Montana's two-minute poise and, naturally, my speed.” With that being said there are over 40 quarterbacks currently employed by the national football league (NFL). In addition, every one of those quarterbacks are…

Wilson dropping back. They are doing a slant play. He throws it to my guy, Chris Matthews. I step in front of him and I intercept the ball! I saved the Super Bowl! We are the Super Bowl champions! The offense goes out on the field. We have 20 seconds, and we run a fake play. They go offsides, and we go to the five yard line. We knee the ball, and the biggest fight breaks out. There was a penalty on the Seahawks. We go to the 10 yard line and knee, and the time runs out. We all rush on to the…

through the British Commonwealth. The Canadians I found the Union Jack significant enough to have it fill the entire flag, but keep it as a fade to prioritize the Canadian aspect of the Canadian flag. Secondly, I added the two known Aboriginal flags as they are the original inhabitants of Canada. The blue infinity flag is the Metis flag, originally used by Metis resistance fighters. It was later adapted by the general Metis people shortly later. The altered Canadian flag is the more recent…

They say that injuries are just a part of athletics. And before my senior football season, I had never thought much about. I had never had any major injuries that required me to miss anytime longer than a few practices. But that all changed on a third down one friday night. It was my senior year of high school, my last shot to play high school football. I had gone through all of the pre season practices, lifting workouts, and the speed and agility workouts. And I had put in more work than I…

Creeping up to the line of scrimmage, as a cornerback, my mind was trying to figure out what the quarterback was going to do with the ball. I got into a defensive stance, into a mid squat, and I was on the balls of my feet with my left leg in front and my right leg right behind my left. My arms were in running form, with my right arm in front. I was waiting for the ball to be snapped. HIKE! The ball was snapped from the center to the quarterback. In front of me were the offensive linemen with…
