e are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.” I would have to say football shaped my life so has my coach with him I don’t if I would be in college or have a job right now. The things he taught me how to push myself to max not giving up when something gets hard or if something challenges me just stay in there it’s your responsibility to finish every job . The man I am talking about is Jared Shaner even if we always didn’t see eye to eye he was definitely a role model and what shaped me in a man. The lesson he taught me will probably stick with me forever.

Which left our team wondering if we would have a chance to win. At that moment I learned team work we went to our first offensive huddle and we just all new that we had each other’s back. I think it set into we went to score 42 points to beat our foe by a lot which was just showed it. All of the
Jordan Mullen 2 coaches told us after the game the same thing they always told us that teamwork is shown on the field we showed it on the field. After leaving football and looking at what all we did it definitely showed when I came in I was all about me not anyone else but it showed me you are way better in a team than alone. I would also say it help me in my job and in school working but with your co -works also peers it will make everything easier. It also showed I think when I was doing speech in a competition for the future business leaders of America it was supposed to be three of us but one got sick so it came down to me and my friend which is tough because you are always better with three mind than two. We had to be there early to wait which was awful it took us 2 hours to get our scenario to talk about which lead to question which was not the
The first day we got there we had started off so wrong by arguing. We weren’t doing well and we argued most of the time. Us as a team, we honestly made ourselves look bad in front of the coordinators and other teams that were watching us. The coaches had given us a real big pep talking about sticking together as a team to make us better. Although we didn’t think we needed it, it actually

One of his famous quotes. “The spirit, the will to win and the will to excel… These are the qualities that are so much more important than any of the events themselves” (Mckerley, 15).
Growing up, from the time I started my first day of class until walking across my hometowns football field to receive my diploma I never had thought that I let something define the person that I have become today. However, being presented with this essay I have come to the realization that football has defined me as a person. I don’t mean to say that the sport has had this much of an impact on me, I’d rather like to think that the memories associated with the sport has made an everlasting impact on my life.
When I was beginning high school as a freshman, I searched for an activity that I could participate in. I was looking to meet new people and hoping to be accepted by other students. I was willing to do anything for their acceptance. At the beginning of the school year a football meeting was announced, although I had never played football before, I decided to attend the meeting. From the day of that initial meeting, I will be in love with the game for the rest of my life. I learned of the consequences involved with participating in a full contact sport such as football. Many people ask if football is worth the risk for high school athletes. I decided that for me the benefits outweigh the risks.
The core values of respect and dignity are the elements that held us together as a team and I was not giving up because we worked too hard to win games and to move forward and because of that I stood up and went above and beyond for the team. The difference is not everyone might have done that if they got injured, however, because I considered all of my teammates equals I believe that it was the just and right thing to do because otherwise we would probably have lost the game. In addition, I was not thinking about myself it was about the team as a whole and the effort it took to get where we were at was not an easy task and it met everyone’s needs because we were not

We were supposed to lose and we knew we were going to lose before the game even started. But after a series of fortunate, maybe even lucky events, we knew the obstacle at hand wasn’t insurmountable. We found a way to win and we learned a life lesson doing that.
Before birth football seemed like it would be a factor in my life. My uncles and cousins were key players of their high school football teams. Even though they were a factor I developed a love for the game myself. The drive from my family made me want to go harder.
I honestly believe without football I would not have an identity since it played a crucial role in shaping me into the caring, smart, and passionate person I am today. Before football you could not pinpoint the difference between the herds of people who did not have a care in the world and myself. Ever since the 6th grade I frequently arrived to school tardy, got into multiple fights for no apparent reason, and often received disappointing grades; these bad habits became a daily routine that derived from the fact that I did not know any better. After being raised by parents who did not finish high school and never stressed the importance of school, I had no one to instill a moral compass within me. Anyways, at the beginning of my 7th grade year I was messing around in my Physical Education class when suddenly a football coach
Many things have helped to shape my identity to make me the person I am. The most influential thing that has shaped me is my culture. One of the biggest pieces of my culture that has done this is my participation in sports. Out of the sports I play, high school soccer has shaped me the most. Soccer in high school shaped my identity by making me more social, a leader, and open minded about diversity.
As we approach the field that’s when the whispers on the bus start. As the bus came to a screeching halt everyone on the bus started to talk strategy. We walk off the bus together heading towards the locker room when we see the other team. The team we were facing seemed to be better than us in every way. The other team was bigger than us, stronger than us, and had more players on their team which meant that many of their players didn’t have to play the
