Andre Johnson, a former teammate of J.J Watt, described J.J’s abilities by saying, “Man, I don’t think there’s a word that can really describe J.J. He affects the game in so many ways, whether it’s knocking down passes or sacking the quarterback or just even causing confusion on the play.” J.J Watt is one of the most feared defensive players in the entire National Football League. He is on track to be one of the best defensive ends ever to play the game of football. In just four seasons, J.J…

This place means a lot to me, because I been there most of my life. I spent a lot of my life there for practice, games, and other things the held there. This place was like home to me. It was very special to me because I was the best student academically, but I always knew I was one of the best or the best every time I went to the field. That why I think it meant so much to me. My favorite place is my high school football field and track. I remember going to the field after school and being…

6 Reasons why the Dallas Cowboys will repeat as NFC EAST champions 1. ONE MONSTROUS OFFENSIVE LINE How could this not be the first thing on this list. The Cowboys offensive line.

Theme song I remember when my football coach showed me Don't Blink for the first time around 10-11 years old. At the time I was thinking it was a good song, but as the years start passing by the song started hitting me in personal ways. Life flashes right in front of you and it's like you don't even realize it until everything is gone. Life shouldn't be taken for granted, and should be fulfilled with everything you have ever wanted. Listening to “Don't blink” by Kenny Chesney has changed my life…

Writer's Statement Maks Z For one of my text production tasks I chose to write a descriptive piece inspired by a 3 km time trial for field umpiring. My target was 13.30 which was the required time to umpire division 1 football. The purpose of the text was to capture my thoughts and feelings going into this event. I portrayed this by using a wide variety of language techniques, to express my experiences and emotions in the…

Tyus woods Mrs. Spell English 101 October 13 , 2017 Being an expert at Corner Back I have been playing cornerback since the day I started playing football, so that’s 13 years. Football is a mental game, like chess. There are pieces that do their part and then there are pieces that impose their will on the board. The basic of being an expert at corner is first backpedaling. Backpedaling is the most useful technique cornerbacks use to cover receivers. You want to use backpedaling to keep…

Loud cheers and shouts make your ears ring as you sprint through the field as fast as a cheetah. The brown leather ball suddenly feels as heavy as a boulder in your hands as you try to avoid getting tackled. Huff! Huff! Your breath is heavy, and the sun’s light bores down onto your back. Beads of sweat fall down your face, not just because of the running, but the amount of stress on your shoulders. You are almost there, and you can feel the victory, but then a load of weight slams into your side…

When I was in my middle school years, the nickname of Star Super emerged from the high school football team. The origin behind said nickname came from the captain; who was referred to as Super Star. The reasoning behind why I was given this nickname was never known, but I do have a couple of ideas. My first idea was that he was my role model, so I would try to copy anything and everything he did. Whether it was my attempts to copy his on- field play, his leadership, or even his humor, I tried to…

The final shot of extra time came barreling at me. It was just to the right of me. So I did what goalkeepers do best and picked it out of the air and brought the ball along with my body to the ground. As I was getting up off the ground I heard the ear piercing sound of the final whistle. Everyone on the field, along with myself, stomachs sank because they knew the game was headed for a PK shootout. But for me it was different. This was my dream. This was all I dreamt about for 8 years of my life…

I believe in football. The sound of the swish when the ball is thrown, “Way to go,” said by my teammates. I enjoy being part of a team and working hard for the team and for the game. There are more than 30 people per team and 30 friendships that can be made. All 30 guys work together to be the best. There are 11 players on the field at one time and most have a chance to score. Football is everything for those 30 guys on a team. Although, football can be hard at times, when I play with my team,…
