Touchdown

Adrenaline It’s first down and I’m on offense, I’m also our running back. Quarterback gets the snap and hands it off to me, I start to run. Then there was their biggest player. Right in front of me, next thing I know he is on the floor and my coach yelled “Good stiff arm!”, but I hadn’t known that I did it. I got passed their whole team and I can see the fake grass shining in the floodlights. The bleachers shining metallic grey, and I can see the end zone just a few steps away, I close my eyes…

Yes, Professional athletes are tremendous at what the do, but do they really need that amount of money? Professional…

They drop back to pass I'm back, watching the QB's eyes like a hawk. He tries to throw it by our blitzing linebacker who tips it in the air. It felt like time stood still, the ball and the championship hanging in the balance. If it's caught it's a touchdown since no one was near besides huge slow linemen. The ball finally falls gracefully and makes contact with his hands. "AHHHHHHHH!!!" He screamed in utter disbelief as the ball bounces off the firm grass. It was…

Someone once said, “There are those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened.” I am one of those people who knows how to make things happen. I went from sitting on the bench wishing I was making plays to being a starting quarterback having people wishing they were me. Sports management will benefit me now and later in life while I am progressing as a football player learning different techniques, and skills that will prepare me to be a great…

African Americans make up professional athletes, their responses entailed “ten million,” “500,000,” and “50,000.” The real number – 1,200. The reason for these radical guesses are due to the sport media’s endless highlight reels of slam dunks and touchdowns specifically connected to African American players. The reason I bring up this example is because the media can be a powerful influence over anything, and in this case…

Also we perform music and moves on the field. We mark time,…

I honestly never thought that I would be here today. I thought That I would be a professional football player at 18, making millions and living the good life. I gotta say, I am living the good life, however, I’m not catching 70 yard touchdown passes from Peyton Manning. Back then, all I cared about was having fun and enjoying life.
