The Football Game In the beginning, there was football. The official said, Let the stadium lights come on, and they came on. The football players came onto the field, and they saw the light was good. Other teams started to show up and practice on the battle ground, otherwise known as the "playing field." Fans shouted, and cheerleaders went on about their playful acts. Parents, brothers, sisters, and close friends all piled into the stands to see the game of the year. The official stepped out
Are You Ready For Some Football? From the early ages in history to the present day, sports have always been an important part of society. It teaches discipline, how to be a team player, how to interact with others and is a good source of physical activity. In specific, football utilizes all of these aspects of sports and it’s a great source of teaching self-restraint and perseverance. Some may say that football is a violent sport or it’s not beneficial in any way, but in reality it gives a person
It was the last season of my football career and it could not have been going better. We were winning games and were having a blast. The team was giving high fives and banging helmets together. We were a true family; growing closer than any team I had ever been with before. I was standing with my teammates as we said the same prayer before our game as we did every week. “Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.” The deep, strong voices rang throughout the room sending chills down
when they are mentally tough. The intense game of adversity can be referred to football. Football is a game of adversity and emotion. People who have not played a sport or follow one closely don’t understand the emotion behind game. They think that football is just a game, but for those who are involved with the team don’t think so. All those horrendous hours of countless preparation are for something players and coaches love. About a few years ago, a football player at the collegiate level was told
Football is one of the most popular sports of all time. Football for some people is not just a game but it is a religion. I believe that everyone should have a little knowledge of “The Beautiful Game” as Pele who is regarded as the greatest player of all time called it.

Growing up as a kid, I always loved playing the NCAA football games. To me, it was fun to be able to play as my favorite team. When I was younger I always dreamed of playing football for Mississippi State. The NCAA games gave me a chance to do that. As a lifelong fan of the NCAA games I was disappointed when I heard that they would not be making new games after 2014. Even though I am a big fan of the games, I don’t see them making a comeback anytime soon. Today we live in a world where everyone
I never thought I’d learn the most important things in life from the game of football. It all started the day my new football coach, Jeff Rotsky, came to our school and we all met for the first time. I remember when we were all sitting in the little theater listening to him talk to us for the first time. He came in loud, full of energy, excited, and gave us a very passionate greeting. He said things like: we’re gonna be a top contender in the GCC, we have great potential to be a championship
College football is a major part of many peoples' lives, especially here in the South. Whether we or someone we know is an alumni, we plan to go there in the future we think the uniforms are cute, or whatever reason, we always have one favorite team we cheer for. sometimes fans of a team will wear a shirt with the team's logo and that is as far as their loyalty goes. Others may attend a few games a season, but there are also those die hard fans that never miss a game or always tailgating, screaming
examine how money has changed the game of football in the UK. I have chosen this topic, as football is the most popular sport in the UK. According to Bond (2013), the numbers of fans that watch the games increased by 60% since the Division 1 has changed to EPL League. The changes that have taken place from around 1950 to the present day has been showing clearly. As there is more capital investment in the football games it creates a different kind of benefit to football games but at the same time, there
Part of the first season of college football ever played, the game took place on November 6, 1869, at College Field (now the site of the College Avenue Gymnasium at Rutgers University) in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Because the game was played at a Rutgers field, it was also played under Rutgers' rules. As the first of the 10 games began, two players from each of the teams positioned themselves near the opponent's goal. This was presumably because the participants were hoping to easily score when
soccer game. Caleb was tall and muscular, I was short and skinny. This was our last game and we had lost all our games prior. “This could be our chance to finally win a game,” I said to Caleb. We joined the team huddle to talk about the rules the ref gave us and to be assign our positions. I was assigned right wing while caleb was assigned striker. The sun was slowly disappearing in the horizon like a item in quicksand as the game started. After the whistle was blown to signalfy the game to start
generation has a new story to tell. However, one element that does not change from generation to generation is high school football. Regardless of age, the effect football has had on youth is constantly rewarding. Although opposing convictions may elucidate the barbaric nature of football, the sport is adequately composed of beneficial elements. Therefore, youth should play football in order to experience the positive benefits. Physical health improves one’s abilities on the field and beyond. Developing
the crowd was leaving, me and my teammates cringed as we glanced up to see the final score. The other team celebrated with their friends and family as we went too our coach to get yelled at once again. This was the last game of the season and we finished winning a total of zero games, probably the worst record in E.L Wright middle school history. After listening to the last speech of the season from our head coach all of the players grabbed their bags and proceeded to the locker room. As we walked
On Fridays I would do around five games every Friday during the winter; on Saturday I would do an average of 12 games and on Sunday I would do an average of 12 games. So for me at the age of 16 and doing that many games I was hitting the jackpot every weekend averaging around $580. My parents would tell me to slow down and take at least an hour to rest my body, but at the time
I’ve played football for nine years now, and participated in over 85 games. I’ll openly admit that practices got to be the most dreaded part of my day by the time my senior year rolled around, nonetheless gameday’s never became wearisome. The miserable as well as submissive game day nerves can keep you from eating, thinking straight, and also make relaxing an unattainable task. Yet, as I sit here pondering back on football season, I’d treasure the displeasure of those nerves just one final time.
Every morning I woke to the bright shining sun and the chirping of birds. But this day was unlike any day. I rapidly lifted my body and slammed my feet on the hardwood floor. I quickly went over to my drawer and pulled out my favorite black soccer shorts and white soccer jersey, and off I went to the tryouts for a new team. There I saw tall muscular players who clearly had more experience than me. They passed the ball with exact precision. They had tremendous skills to show both on and off
This past year I fell in love with the game of football all over again. There were several reasons and changes that I experienced which made me love the game more and want to achieve at a higher level. Our team made a comeback from the year before, and that greatly changed the outcome of our team and how I felt. It’s interesting how a few simple changes could alter everything and make our team more imposing. Those simple changes made the sport really fun for me again and made me realize why I played

sport practiced by males and by females between the age of 21 and 25 and the relation between the sport and weight.
