When I Developed a Passion for Football in my Life

Football has a significant impact on all our lives, doesn’t matter if you play it or if you even watch it. Its has an impact on us financially and socially. Football is one of if not the greatest traditions of sport in America. It teaches teamwork. Football is the ultimate team sport. It adds great recognition, revenue, and spirit to college campuses and many different communities around the country. Many writers, scholars, and football coaches have stated that football is a metaphor for life and I truly believe that.

“High school football is more than a sport to me it’s the way of life. I say this because football helps me become a better me. It keeps me going and always ready to strive for the next big thing. This is one of my main reasons why I love football so much,” senior football player Aaron Mckinnely said.

Football is important in my life in many ways. It makes me happy when I’m sad, I can take out my anger, I’m not worrying about school when I’m playing it. It also makes me better at my running and throwing. Football has made me a better team player over the years since I started in first grade. Football has made me want to grow up, play for Michigan State, and eventually play for the Detroit Lions and win a National Championship, and a Super Bowl, I want to be either a corner, a half back, or a tight end for both of them.

As an individual who has an appreciation for the game of football, nothing would be more thrilling to me than playing under those Friday night lights. As a child, I had idolized the players from my home town football team. I’ve always dreamt of one day being in their shoes, playing in front of a crowd full of people. Once I began my high school football career, I was very eager to play Varsity. Little did I know, from freshmen to junior year I would be plagued by injuries that would not allow me to participate. I was on the verge of giving up and quitting football altogether. It would have been simple for me to give up, but I was not going to let my childhood dream and years of commitment go to waste. My senior season, I was able to conquer

Football can bring people together if all of them love the game. Every year, millions of viewers from around the world tune in to watch one of the most exhilarating events. The National Football League has entertained the American people, stimulated the American economy, and brought families closer together.

When I was merely five years old, I was fascinated by the sport called football. Back then I may not have necessarily understood the rules of the game, or whether we were winning or losing, but that didn’t matter because all I cared about was dressing up just like everyone in my family did and cheered when they cheered. As I grew up, I began to understand what it meant to be a fan of football, especially for one team in particular. My family, having moved here from Denver Colorado, were lifelong Denver Broncos fans. After growing up in a household filled to the brim with White and Orange John Elway jerseys, stuffed animals of the Denver Broncos mascot that littered my room, even so much as some of the plates I would eat off of had the

Football is a game of passion, a time when nothing else matters and the only thing that matters is going out there having fun and fighting for the guy next to you. Football has always been something that I loved and had a wild passion for. I’ve made friendships and memories to last a life time and I can always be grateful that football did that for me. Now of course I’ve had some bad memories during football as well, I remember walking out of the film room on the last day of spring ball and having Coach Antle grab me and say “Gage, I think I want to try you at a new position, I want to put you at defensive end. We need you more there and we think you can really excel there.” I remember being so furious, I had played linebacker ever since I could remember and now the last day of spring ball my senior year everything was about to change.

Football is one of my favorite sports. I love anything competitive. I was introduced to football at a young age when my father used to take me to my hometown high school team, Central High School (Bridgeport), football games. As I got older, he would take me to Division 1 college football games, and from their, NFL games at Metlife Stadium. I love the Green Bay Packers, and people often recognize me as always wearing Green Bay's apparel. I would never miss a game, always laying on my couch, with my jersey chanting at the inatimate television screen at the top of my lungs like a deranged person. When football wasn't on the big screen, I was playing the sport outside with my neighbors, who would always bring out my competivie side and challenge me. Some day I hope of playing for atleast a high school team, which will be challenging due

Football isn’t just a sport. There are many benefits of playing football. It teaches players important skills, like discipline, teamwork, and focus. Not only does football teach you skills, it can create long lasting friendships and physical fitness. Many who have played football, wouldn’t give up their memories playing for anything in the world.

Football, as it is for many people, is a key part of my life; without it I am sure I would survive but not as happily as am right now. Before I reached this happy state, it took a gruesome football injury to cause positive changes in my life.

thinking differently about football. I tried out for the team my freshman year, and to say the least,

From some point of views, football seems like a meaningless sport where a bunch of idiotic brutes try to see who can hit the hardest. But behind all of that, football can teach very good personality traits and characteristics. The coaches aren’t always just about winning, most would rather teach their players right from wrong and how they should live their lives and want them to always do the right thing. They teach discipline, hard work, and

I have participated in football since elementary school. My love for football stems from the sport being a game in which you cannot win unless everyone on the team contributes and does their job. Football prepares men for life; it teaches skills such as teamwork, the ability to come back from a loss, and leadership. Additionally, I love football due to the promotion of competition and a strive for greatness that isn’t present in many other aspects of my life. This sport also enables me to increase my personal athletic ability, and to maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, football only makes up half of my passion for sports.

It all started when I was about three years old when my good friend Anthony Williams and I became friends when he ran his bike into my sand box. Football has been an event in my life since I was three years old and it still is today. “The key to life is not what life gives to you but what you take from life. It’s not how life treats you but how you treat life. You have a choice in life. You can either thrive or survive.”_ Coach London. Football has made me into the person I am today, hard working, and determined.

Football is a sport in my hometown where great pride is taken in. The program where I came from consisted of hard working blue collar men. We never were the biggest, we never were the fastest, and by far never the most talented. One thing we took pride in is that we knew how to outwork each and every one of our opponents. At the time I was a young man who spent a lot and a lot of time with football. It all started back at a very young age. From pee wee flag football, to travel tackle football in the 3rd grade, to being the ball boy for the varsity team while playing elementary and junior high football, and then finally varsity football. I loved football and it was not just a game to me it was a lifestyle.
