Football is probably by far the best sport there is. I mean if you don’t like contact it wouldn’t be for you. But if there is no contact then this would even be fun to watch. Without all of the hitting getting hurt and playing fast, it’s like there is no action at all. Football started a long time ago way before most of our time. But it is so different from all the other sports. Perhaps like baseball, you get to hit a ball and run to a base. I meant the only contact really is to get tagged. No…

mentioned to me was being a leader and taking control of the team. So I listened. I took control of the team that day and we actually won a few of competitions. All that everyone was talking about was the tournament on the last day, a straight up 5 on 5 games; it was for all the marbles and the elite title of the team of the…

Soccer is life changing and it requires dedication and teamwork. For me, soccer has always brought a source of pride and excitement. Not all those who play soccer, understand the rules and regulation of the game. Through the journey of my personal inferno, I learned what not do on the soccer field. As we embark in the first level of hell, with my guide Alex Morgan, we arrive. “Welcome to the hell of dribblers! Here you will meet the sinners of the soccer world who will not turn over the ball…

Sneak a peak game: This game should have a large group of people that will be divided up into teams of four. One member of the group will go see the instructors sculpture, and they have 10 seconds to examine the sculpture. When they go back to their group they have 25 seconds to instruct their group on how to build an exact replica of the sculpture. Then each group has one minute to recreate the sculpture. This activity teaches teamwork and how to communicate effectively. Two truths and a lie:…

Playing soccer had always come naturally to me. Since I had played since the young age of seven, I had gained a level of confidence and calmness while playing the fast paced game. I seldom stressed about playing time. Instead, I counted on my natural speed and talent to impress my coaches. At the age of seventeen, I made a decision to try out for a new team. I was nervous to an extent, but felt very confident. I never dreamt that trying out for this particular soccer team would teach me an…

the position of the ball. This sort of technology is already being used in other sports like cricket. In the article written for the English publication called “Goal-line technology: Is it time ?” the author Wilson believes that such high profile games that have a huge financial impact on teams should be based on a fact rather than the opinions of a referee and linesman (Wilson,…

from playing in my game at San Joaquin Memorial, to watching college ball throughout the day, and going to the Fresno State game at Bulldog Stadium. It does sound like a lot of football, but for me it is the sport I love, and I am very grateful to have it in my life. When I stepped outside, the weather was perfect. The sun was shining bright, there was a light breeze in the air, the sky was wonderful and blue, and there was no ash in sight. I then get ready for my game and leave my…

athletic games in the United States. People of all ages play this game. Kids as young as the age of four can play at the local YMCA, and older men can play the game at a church on Sunday nights. But those that play the game of basketball very competitively are those that are the real players. Basketball, along with many other games, is a game that has a reward; specifically if played at a college or professional level. Those who play at that level have devoted part of their life to that game.…

was game day and all I could hear from the right of my ear was “STRIKE HIM OUT!!!” My left I could feel every stomp and scream run through my body like if it was about to explode. As I release the last pitch of the game I could see the batter looking at the ball as if it was a fireball coming right at him. Once that ball hit the glove I could smell the burnt wood from the bat missing the ball by inches. My teammates were running toward me and screaming at the top of their lungs. In the game of…

Final inning. One out to go. One runner on and a ground ball to me at second. A little flip to the shortstop and that is how the game ended. Gabriel Richard had overcome one of their oldest rivals in districts for the first time in ten years. Softball has played a big part in my life and has shaped me as not just an athlete, but as a person. I have had the privilege of playing three sports each year and travel softball along with those sports. Softball has taught me that being apart of…
