And grabs him to swim him back to safety. Once back to safety the job isn't over yet , they have to recollect themselves and get back up on the tower and do it again. A lifeguard is just like an all star linebacker quick and decisive. A lifeguards thoughts can be very similar to an all star linebacker like for the fact they both cannot hesitate.

The nice part about the linebacker is that there a certain Aline menus the offensive will line up to so as long as he studies the film the coaches gave him. He can recognize the formation and have an ideas of what's about to come .Unlike the linebackers the lifeguard cannot study. They have no idea what awaits them every time a kid splashes around. They sit there and watch waiting for something to go wrong anything. And when there time comes you best bet they're gonna be right there. Linebackers and lifeguards have the ability to make or breAk a game.

  • Inside the Trenches: The Life of a Lineman

    953 Words  | 2 Pages

    In my 8 or so years of playing football I’ve often heard coaches liken the job of the linemen to that of a soldier fighting in a trench, pushing, attacking, and struggling for every inch of the battlefield that is the line of scrimmage. Of course, the job of a lineman is far less dramatic and glorious than that description makes it out to be, most of our job is just keeping the defense at bay so the quarterback and the rest of the backfield has time to get a play off. Unfortunately for us offensive linemen, the defense has a much larger bag of tricks when it comes to the actual clash, they can grab, pull, or simply spin by while the O-line is relegated mostly to pushing with shoulder and hand. This can make things difficult if, for instance

  • The Importance Of A Kicker In American Football

    633 Words  | 2 Pages

    The defense also has many chances to stop a drive by the offense which also means that players get many chances to prove themselves. Then there is the kicker who has one job and one chance to prove to the coaches that they deserve another shot. If the same treatment was given to every player they would probably have to pull a player of the fowls on every play. Coach Shelton told me about his personal experiences saying “I remember during my sophomore year trying out for punter and my 1st punt was a shank left. The coach yelled at me, "that's enough of that, go back to the wide receiver’s." I was shocked that he could make a decision based on 1 attempt. I later was given the job based on having to kick during free time while trying to convince them that I could do it. We rarely ever kicked extra points. I remember asking 1 game, "Why don't we ever kick a pat?" My coach looked at me and said, ”We might not convert, and then we'd be behind." I would estimate that we failed to convert on nearly 75% of our 2 point tries. Yet we lined up again and again for another try all season. On our PATs that we attempted, we only missed 2 all year and both were blocked due to poor

    The game of football has become safer over the past few years and is helping cut down the risk of injury. Not only are they safer during they play with the new safety technology they will be healthier after they play as well. Aikman praised the NFL for its recent decision to run baseline tests on all players in training camp so the league can later determine if their brains have been damaged from hits to the head.(“Aikman…”). With the new testing players be better equipped and prepared before and after their football careers. Many football players get brain injuries which is why they need to have better safety equipment. In any given season, about 20% of high school players suffer brain injuries (“Lanham”). The safety equipment is becoming way more advanced as well. Helmets are getting better, but it’s more effective at protecting the skull than the brain inside (“Death of Football…”). The Children’s Sports Athletic Equipment Safety Act comes in light of the fact that there are no federal guidelines for both new and used helmets that formally test against the forces believed to cause concussions (“Lanham”). The new safety equipment can’t protect everything thou...

    When I was little everyone told me I would make a great lawyer, they said I loved to argue. For a long time I believed them, I do love to argue. However, the older I got the more I realized that it wasn’t the arguing I loved, it was the dialog. How two people can have the exact same experience, but have two totally different views about that experience baffled me. When I was in high school I struggled with some things that I didn’t quite understand at the time. I didn’t understand why my teammates would listen to my male co-captain instead of me even when we said the exact same thing. I didn’t understand why my teammates would skip practice or do something that might get them kicked off of the team. We all loved water polo and had a great

    The athletes that play one sport versus multiple sports all relate to the ethics of preventing sports injuries. A big topic of this pathway is the coaches’ role. A coach should know what’s right from what’s wrong when it comes to his or her player. When a player looks like he/she is tired then the coach should take the player out of the game. If the coach leaves them in the game they are more susceptible to injuries [Graham]. Another example is if a football player gets hit hard in a play then he should come out of the game and get evaluated for a concussion.

  • Football vs. Soccer

    780 Words  | 2 Pages

    First of all, the rules of football require one to equip himself with approximately twenty pounds of equipment, including a helmet, shoulder pads, and girdle pads. This is because football has the most contact involved out of all sports. In a football game, the norm is that the home team wears colorful jerseys and the visiting team wears white jerseys. Moreover, if a team’s offense is on the field, their defense is on the sideline. A team’s offense includes a center, who snaps the ball to the quarterback. The “QB” then has a choice to run with the ball, hand it off to a running back, or throw it to a wide receiver. The quarterback has an offensive line to protect him from the assailing defense. If a teammate happens to score a touchdown, he earns his team six points, which allows for the kicker to kick an extra point, and give his team a total of seven points. However, if the offense fails to travel at least ten yards within four attempts, or “downs,” they have the opti...
