Personal Narrative: My Involvement In Sports
From the day I could walk, I was involved in sports. From playing tee-ball in the backyard with my dad when I was three, to trying three new sports as a senior, athletics have been an integral part of my life. In my elementary school days, I tried every sport that was offered through the Jefferson Parks and Recreation. This included baseball, football, wrestling, karate, soccer, and tennis. Through middle school, I dropped several of these sports to focus on my two favorite sports, baseball and wrestling. Training for these two sports never ended and most of my time was spent either on a baseball field or on a wrestling mat. Entering my high school years, baseball and wrestling were the only sports I competed in. By my sophomore year, I was

    It was a frigid, windy, Friday night in October. The only light was the bright and beaming illumination of the stadium lights projecting over the soccer field. The bleachers were full, it seemed as if the whole school was there, and as a freshman with anxiety, it made it hard to cope with the fact, that I was going to be a starter for the varsity soccer team.…

    A loud whistle blows, signaling the beginning of another game that has a predictable outcome. My teammates and I face our intimidating opponents, swallowing the defeat we have already accepted. Our game is field hockey and our school has not had a winning record since 2012. It is a challenge to only be known as the team that is easily vanquished, but still, we persist on throughout the season. Practicing every day with only eleven players, trying to surpass our team’s stereotype, but not improving at the rate necessary to be evenly matched with our rivals. The lessons learned from the realm of sports can be translated to life. The challenges that I face with field hockey have helped me gain qualities such as tenacity, sportsmanship, and patience.…

    My passion for baseball is something i take very seriously and i have been wanting to write about. I have loved the sport since i was a little kid, from youth league all the way up to high school. I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to play the sport in college and that was something i have been working towards for the last four years, a lot of kids dream getting to play at the next level but most do not get the chance. That is one of the main reasons i want to coach high school ball so i can let the kids that probably won’t make it to the college level have fun and enjoy it while they still can.…

    Growing up the only girl where I stayed I did a lot of things with the guys. I learned how to play the game of football which I had liked so much. The guys accepted me as one of them because we had a lot of fun together. When it was too cold to play football or baseball it was snowing. By that time we had started throwing snowballs at each other also passing cars. I had gotten into a lot of trouble as a kid for the things that I did in a playing manner but none of it was ever to serious. Especially the time Mikey and I had led this one guy on a chase all over…

    Right now, in my life, I am on the bandwagon of a hockey players dream. I have been playing this godly sport for over 15 years, and at this moment, I am currently playing hockey for the Cleveland Jr. Lumberjacks, who have encouraged me to attend Cuyahoga Community College better known as Tri-C, to take core classes. The Lumberjacks are part of the tier 3 American Hockey League that has guys from ages of 18 through 21, making it more precise and fast paced. Playing Jr. Hockey takes up more time than you can imagine, forcing me to take only two classes, Math and English. Both Math and English are on a Tuesday and Thursday for me, starting at 11 a.m. and ending at 2:15 p.m. After English class, the gym is the place to be and when I say “gym”, I mean the Strongsville Recreational Center. I feel like if I didn’t go to the gym on a daily basis I would be more aggravated and stressed out with…

    One of my proudest accomplishments that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of myself and others was my time in football. I had never played sports in my life, this made it very hard to transition onto the field. The first year I played football I found it hard to make friends and I also was very out of shape. One of my coaches helped me through my tough time and I began to train very hard in the off-season. I had never experienced such commitment to a single part of my life. I ended up playing a couple games, even though it was my very first year on the field. During the sophomore off-season I had an intense dedication to catch up to my other teammates. I knew I could never let my team down in a game situation. I decided…

    I consider myself is persistent. I am the type of person who will not give up until the goal is reached or achieved. I have high expectations from my family, friends, and the people I work with. They believe that from what I do, what I know, and who I am know that I can go somewhere and become someone. I come from a family where college is a rare chance only certain family members have gone to college. My family know I have what it takes to go to college and they are making sure I go by asking me where I want to go, what I want to do, and how I am going to get there. I am one of few kids in my entire family to have both parents that have at least attended some sort of college. With this my parents have been all over me with college and some say I have it easy but my life is actually harder than it might sound.…

    Well, I had a nice weekend. I got to see my dad and grandparents for the first time since July, and I had lots of fun. They came to my soccer game on Saturday, and it was a good one. To start the game we came storming out of the gates, and scored a goal. Kaden hit it off of a cross from Jacob, and just squeezed it in the corner of the goal. After about fifteen minutes, they knocked one in off of a corner. Our coach was not happy about that, because the ball bounced twice inside the six, and we had worked on going for the ball, not letting it bounce. At the end of the half, they knocked another one in, again off of a corner. Coach was even more disappointed, because it was the same situation with the ball bouncing twice. At half, we talked it…

    Throughout my life playing football i always played offense. When i was younger i played guard, and later in Jr. high and my freshman year in high school i played tight end. I always practiced defense playing the defensive end position at practice but never played a game in it. So my freshman year third game 30 minutes before it started, my coach Schelb told me i was starting the game. I began to get very nervous and second guessed myself because i never played it in a game and was afraid i would just blew the game. The reason i didn't think i could be successful is because i was inexperienced at d-end during a game. Turned out to be a pretty good game for me, i had 5 tackles on the day and a sack.…
