Bill Belichick Do Your Job Analysis
“Do your job.” A simple quote by Bill Belichick (New England Patriots Head Football Coach) but this quote means a lot about my character. The reason it means a lot to me is because if you work tremendously hard and do your job your team will be successful. My head football coach, Mike Rowe uses this quote as well and adds “If everybody does your job you will be successful. Trust your teammates since they will fight for you and the rest of the team.” I am tying this quote to football but it can be used in any team sport you are involved in. Football teaches character and that’s why I love it so much. I’ve learned so much about myself and how I want to live my life just from being in football. It was a dreadful cold fall morning on November 7th and I was getting ready to board the bus for a state football game against the Becker Bulldogs. The police escorted us to Saint Cloud State under a lot of care. Even though I was a freshman and didn’t play much varsity, I was getting …show more content…
However, I was in a package against Big Lake and I shut down receiver. The following week in practice while I was working harder than even Coach Herberg came up to me and said “I’m starting you at the corner this week. You had a good game and you deserve it. Good job kid.” We were playing Willmar and I was very nervous. It was my first varsity start. Coaches said that was normal and said for me to relax. I played extremely well and I was very proud of myself. The following three weeks I have started and became more confrontable with playing on Friday night. My focus level was as high as ever and I was improving my talent day by day. Hard work does really pay off. I worked hard and did my job throughout the year and on the field. I listened to my coaches and stayed true to myself and I sure did pay off. I’m playing varsity and had kept the promise I had with myself last

    The fear of losing everything Craig Nasvik worked for, was the hardest part of his college experience. “It was the feeling of not being in charge,” Craig says, recalling back to his sophomore year when he blew out his right knee. The factor that led him to believe he could never play football again, and miss some of the most important years of his life. Craig attended the University of Minnesota Duluth on a full ride athletic scholarship. He was recruited out of the state of Wisconsin, where he was born and raised. It was the neighborhood that he grew up in, that gave him the competitive nature. Craig described his friends to the movie ‘Sandlot’. They were always outside, picking teams and playing different games.…

    The three different concepts or ideas I agreed with and like the most were -“I’m tired of hearing all this talk from people who don’t understand the process of hard work—like little kids in the back seat asking ‘Are we there yet?’ Get where you’re going 1 mile-marker at a time.”,Five Day-to-Day Goals 1)Respect and trust your teammates 2) Have a positive impact on someone else 3) Dominate your opponent 4) Be responsible 5) Act like a champion, and last but not least Locker room sign: “Don’t Come Back Until You’ve Improved”. The reason I liked the first quote was that you could not be the best in one day you have to work on your craft every day and the only way you will improve is by doing so. My reasoning for choosing the second quote is because those five goals would make you a better person on and off the court or field. Lastly, I chose the last quote because there is no reason for leaving the locker room every day and possibly being the same player you were before every time you leave the locker room you should want to get better and push yourself to do so. I would use these quotes in my coaching philosophy because these three would make everyone a better person and player and that’s what a coach is supposed to do.…

    The gut-wrenching screech of the whistle shook my ear drums, numbed my chest, and crippled my legs. Prior to this, Pine Richland had kicked a field goal that gave them a three point lead with only seconds left. We had one play to win: a kickoff return to hopefully save not only our season, but to justify the twelve years I had devoted to this game. As the ball was hopping down the field, I stood there trying to stop my hands from frantically shaking. After what felt like an hour, I could finally feel the pigskin leather on my fingertips. I looked up to see the other team stampeding down the field straight for my head. I had to get rid of the ball. To my right, my sweat-soaked teammates had steam rising from the top of their heads and surrounding their bodies. As I threw the ball, the blurred roar of the crowd chilled my bones. I began to run and target an enemy to hit. Inches from me, a white jersey trailed only feet behind my ball-toting teammate; I was a heat-seeking missile and my target was getting warmer. Our bones crunched as our bodies collided. His mouthpiece, accompanied by saliva and mucus, flew from his mouth as his head jerked back from the blow. It was as that white jersey whimpered in pain…

    This month is crucial for anyone who wants to get a hint of playing time on Friday nights. Any of the guys who play football will do anything to get on the field, if a coach asks you to play a position they will do it just to get playing time. In my situation, I had two seniors fighting for my spot on the offensive line. I knew that both of them did not want to sit on the sidelines and watch some sophomore play in a spot they could of had. So the month of july I had to play and do almost everything perfect to earn a spot on varsity football. The camp was just wrapping up and I was to be told if I was going to be stay or be brought back down to the sophomore level. It was a super hot Wednesday, I could see the heat beating off the black track. As waves of heat beamed up of the turf /Coach came up to with the sternest look on his…

    It was a Saturday and we were playing Van Wert in a regular season basketball game and it was close. It was a Junior varsity game. We were only playing two quarters due to the lack of numbers. The game didn’t count for much but we were giving it our all. Van Wert wasn’t a favorite of ours and we were doing just about anything just to win. The game was intense. The coaches were yelling. The crowd was cheering. The gym exploded with sound coming from all directions. We were equally matched. We trailed for most of the game but we were always very close. As the game was winding down, we were trailing by just a few points. We had the ball. The ball was stolen and we were all sprinting down the court to stop it. I got a hand on the ball from behind…

    The stands were already getting packed and the crowd getting louder as we all walked off of the buses and into the locker rooms of Doc Harris. Inside it was as quiet as a library. My teammates quickly started to strap their gear on and do what was necessary to prepare for one of the biggest games of the season. As I did the same, I thought back to that week of practice and remembered that most of the players that played varsity at my defensive position were hurt and a big part of me hoped that this would be my chance to start in my first varsity football game, a dream that had consumed my mind since the end of the previous football season.…

    Ever since I was the Defensive Captain of the football team every little thing I did was noticed. With the coaches working in our school, we were constantly supervised and had certain privileges other students didn’t. Before every big game I wanted to relax and focus on the game ahead, but the entire school wanted to talk to you and ask questions about what you’re going to do. In a way I enjoyed this, the pressure to step up to the plate made me feel like I had a purpose for the school. I believed in myself and knew I was capable of meeting their expectations. Their satisfaction didn’t satisfy me in anyway but seeing my hard work and dedication pay off did. I cherished the moments when the announcer would scream my number on the field after a big play. These moments were immaculate in my eyes especially in front of the big crowds. One of the tragic incidents of my…

    When summer came I got plenty of scholarship offers from colleges, however a good portion of them just wanted me for my football ability and had horrible learning programs so I instantly threw those away. I finally decided on one and applied to that college. They accepted me and I enrolled. I went to college and played football and did great, but I still had the other half of college to worry about. I wasn't going to think I was going to get to be a pro no matter what so I studied hard to become a Civil engineer. After three years I had the opportunity to become a pro and I accepted it. After spending two years in the minors I got called up. When my first game with the Green Bay Packers came I was nervous, wondering what it would be like. I was a defensive end and I was very good at that position and had learned a lot in the minors but nevertheless I was worried. The game started and the my team lost the toss. Our kicker kicked the ball and the receiver came to my end of the field and him and I were facing each other and all of a sudden I tripped over myself and the Detroit Lions scored a…

    I was extremely nervous despite the fact that everyone had told me I was going to make varsity since I had done so well at camp. There were about 23 people trying out for varsity and only 18 could make it and so I had a good chance at making the team but that still did not calm my nerves. Before we went out to the brand new turf field for tryouts I was psyching myself out and was doubting myself in all ways possible. My hands were shaking, I was sweating, all while listening to the calm chatter of everyone else echoing loudly in the locker room. “You can’t make varsity; the others are just too good” I was telling myself. During tryouts the pace was fast, the humidity was high, and our spirits were just as high. We had to do lots of ball work and ball skills on the first day and I was messing up completely at times. At one point I screamed out in utter anger because I just could not get my feet to do the correct things. I was so angry with myself because I knew I could do better than what I had done that day. I went home feeling utterly defeated but ready for the next day because there were two days of tryouts. The next day I felt absolutely great and I was doing everything right! I was passing every drill while receiving complements from my coaches. I felt great and as I was walking up the big, blue steps to the locker room, I knew that I had done great at…

    High School Football was an interesting topic. I was so excited to finally play at the high school level, but I was constantly worrying about if I would be good enough to actually play. I’d been playing since the 3rd grade, and loved every minute of it. After putting in the work at the middle school level, I didn't know how well I would do in high school. All of this changed after our first game, when I caught my first touchdown pass. This experience was so special because I realized that I had what it took to be a great player, and that I needed to work hard to get there.…

    Everyone has someone who they see as a very inspirational person in their life. For me, that’s Vince Lombardi, the former coach of the Green Bay Packers and the Washington Redskins. He led the Packers to a total of 89 games won, 29 lost, and 4 tied. Also led them to 5 championships, 3 NFL championships and 2 Super Bowl championships after the change was made. At the end of his career when he moved to Washington, he led the Redskins to a respectable 7 games won, 5 lost, and 2 tied.…

    It was Thursday at 3:00 pm everyone arrived to the locker room door hyped about the game. Our locker room was locked so everyone was waiting for coach to open the door. We were all getting frustrated over the wait on coach because we were all excited to play our first game of the season. Also for some of us it was our first actual football game. Backyard football comes nowhere close to actual football, in practice we all realized it pretty quick but we also caught on pretty fast too. Overall we were a pretty good team and worked together well. While we were waiting we started to fall apart little from all the frustration that coach seemed like he wasn’t going to arrive. Just when we were all about to walk back to our parents car. Coach arrived rushing through with keys in his hand ready open the door as soon as he could. He was a cheetah down the halls he got to the door in seconds. Once the door was open we bursted in like a cattle of bulls, it sounded like a stamped down the hallway on our way to our lockers! Everyone got ready in seconds because the game was getting ready to start and the other team was outside waiting for us, once everyone was changed we jogged outside in a single file line to make us look organized. Once we got out there it looked like if the other team had half their school on the football team! They had at least 130 players, which is almost triple our team. We started off pretty good and were holding the score at 0-0 but later on in the game our team was getting pretty tired but the opposing team were still energized. They had so many players I didn’t see the same player more than 9 times! So we tried holding them off but there were some plays were they would use their advantage of having the energy to have the half back run through or they would have their receivers run far at a fast pace to catch the ball before we even get close to the receivers. They ended up scoring 1 touch down every quarter but they scored…

    Many people I know have learned many life lessons while playing the sport of football. Vince Lombardi, the Green Bay Packers former coach, has a quote that no sports editorial can disagree with. I survive by this quote every single day of my life. The quote says “Football is a great deal like life in that it teaches that work, sacrifice, perseverance, competitive drive, selflessness and respect for authority is the price that each and every one of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.” - Vince Lombardi…
