I enjoyed these two poems, I like how the two poems are both about sports, because i am a big sports fan. They both compare two athletes but in very different perspectives. So these poems compare and contrast. They compare because they both deal with town athletes. In each poem each athlete is young and somehow saves their town with their skills.So they both look like heroes to everyone else. But also both the athlete’s careers are cut short. So that’s another thing these poems share. Each sport…

we have to talk about how athletes don't get paid too muchThe highest paid Bears player made over 13 million dollars in 2011 When we make the decision that it is worth it to pay a day's wages to attend a three-hour game and cheer till we loose our voices, then we are telling these athletes that they are worth every penny they make, and maybe in the minds of some people, they are worth it. Many people get inspired by athletes and end up doing great things on their own, and inspiration is not…

Football is not a big sport in Los Angeles even since the Los Angeles Rams left for St. Louis in 1995. For me football has been my passion. I watched it, played it and even studied it. My father played in high school and I wanted to do the same. I was so excited when I made the team on my freshman year. I was happy that I got to be the free safety of the team. I felt important knowing I was the last line of defense. It got better when I was promoted to varsity in the middle of my sophomore…

Soccer is my favorite sport because it just gets your heart racing and the idea of the game is to try to score on the other team in their goal. Most people who have been playing it their whole lives will tell you that it’s not easy but it will take some practice. It can be really fun if you put your mind into the game and don’t get distracted. Soccer is known to be the best known sport in the world depending where you’re from most people will tell you that soccer is their life because just…

Have you ever wanted to become a pro athlete? What's not to love? They are all really strong, they get to play sports all the time and they get a lot of money. Some people question if an athlete should get high salaries. Athletes should get high salaries because they donate a lot of money to charity and hospitals, athletes work their entire lives to get into pro leagues and only some players get really high salaries. First, Sport players donate a lot of money to charities and hospitals to help…

Mr. Houck, I am sure you have received a plethora of emails about the defensive issues surrounding the University of Oklahoma football team, however I think I may have solved the team’s issue; a man by the name of Alex Grinch. Mr. Grinch is currently the defensive coordinator for the Washington State Cougars, after taking over the job in 2015. I took the following passage from the Washington State athletics website, “The Washington State defense saw rapid improvement in 2015 under Grinch who…

It is that time for graduation. Standing in the yellow cap and gown waiting for your name to be called up to get the diploma. Seeing your parents' faces glow up when your name is called. It seems that there smiles can light up the whole room. Remembering all of the memories that happened in 8th grade. Thinking to yourself… Did I leave a good legacy behind? Was I nice to all my teachers and show them my hard work? A legacy is the way people will remember you. The way I want to be remembered is…

I play soccer. Anyone who knows me, knows this. In high school, I have often been labelled as an athlete only. Some see me as a goofy, arrogant, jock; however, I do not believe a student-athlete who achieves a 3.75 GPA can be defined so narrowly. My identity, interests, and talents are heavily influenced by soccer, but I am much more than a central midfielder. As a result of my confidence, especially on the soccer field, I am often misunderstood and seen as having it all together. Some see me as…

Millions of people watch football yearly and they desire to watch the best football there is to offer, and that means watching the best football players. Football clubs offer huge amount of money to the best players to get them to play for their club. Also saying footballers are paid soo much is because the clubs that pay their wages are not public corporations and football player's wages comes out of the deep pockets of a millionaire, or a club with…

When I was younger I played grid kids but I was smaller than a lot of the other players, so it made me undesirable, but I loved the game so I practiced hard. I was good at tackling, but I could never remember the plays so I messed up a lot. It was hard for me to see since I needed glasses, but I had broke them. I was put on the 7/8 team which is the team were the player that weren't good enough to be on the good team but weren't bad enough to be on the bad team where the kids that were either…
