The Missionary Position

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,…

A Second chance The film “Undefeated” is a film that can show many valuable life lessons. It will show you that anything is possible, and many more lessons. What i want to focus on is how the player Chavis acted during the seasons and how he changed. The lesson within Chavi’s story is that everyone deserves a second chance. Coach Bill, from the film, persuaded me that this lesson is true. During Chavi’s football season he was…

The feeling, when I first caught a football, it's one of the best feelings you can get. When you first see the players come out of the tunnel, you know their feeling and the smile they have on their face.Then when you have your first time on the field, you can feel the intensity, and the adrenaline kicks in. The game itself is such an exhausting game that's why it's only played once a week and sixteen times a year total. If it were played every day, the people playing the game wouldn't be…

Walter Payton The person that I would want to meet is Walter Payton. I picked Him because he is my idle and I love football. Walter was a NFL star. He played for the Chicago Bears. I love his autobiography ‘’Never Die Easy’’ He made it to the Hall of Fame. He is in the top 2 best running backs ever. I met Walter Payton at the bears field. It was the super bowl. I was watching him and there was a group of 3000 people. Walter said ‘’ hey do you want to go on the field?’’ I replied ‘’Yes!!!!’’ I…

Football Have you ever had a best friend, where did you guys meet? How did it happen? I love to play football. My old man was an all star linebacker for the state of Utah, and that's one ambition I want to accomplish for Idaho. I want to play college ball as a starter my freshman year. Football has molded me into the person I am today, because of it has helped me find goals, friends, and be devoted to something. First, when I was in third grade I was really apprehensive and I really didn't…
