Dream Catchers Research Paper

490 Words2 Pages

My life has been through Hell and back. It all started when I lived in Greenville, Florida, and I played football for a Pop Warner football team. The name of the team was the Greenville Dream Catchers. My coach’s name was Coach Newton; he was a very serious type guy that would hate to lose a game. He would make the team run if we lose a game. Coach Newton would always get everyone together before the game and talk to us about how important the game was and how far the game of football could take us. I would always listen to every speech he would tell the team, I would take them in hard.
The big day came and the team made the final round in the play-offs. Everyone had a little fear in their eyes, because no one had made it this far. We could not believe we …show more content…

I always would remember a quote that my coach told me and the team “Do you want to be history or make history?” When the game was over everyone looked up at the scoreboard. The score was 20 to 14. When I turned around and looked at everyone I saw many down faces and tears. Coach Newton called the team together in our locker. One of the players took the game so hard that he did not want to come together with the team. Coach Newton said to everyone,” Keep your heads up every one of us are winners in his book.” As I play football today the quote my coach gave me to keep in my head helps me with a lot. When I turned 17 I got the quote tattooed on my chest so if I am doing something and I try to give up it makes me grind harder. I never give up on something I love or like to do. I want to make history in my school and in collage and etc. I love football it’s my life. I think today if I keep my grades up I think I could end up in college or some were. When I am at practice I work hard each and every day so when the game comes I am ready to give my all.
I believe everyone that is an athlete should have a quote or a message that they could remember and succeed

It was difficult to gain respect from the older girls because they had cheered with me the year prior, and saw me at the same level as them. I knew I had what it took to be a good coach for all of these girls, but I had to work hard to prove that to them, and that’s exactly what I did. I was confident and believed in myself enough that they began to look at me as an authority figure, and we had a successful

  • Pat Summitt's Influence In College Sports

    450 Words  | 2 Pages

    The influence of one person passed on to another is inevitable when it comes to life, but even more unavoidable when it extends to sports. College sports in fact have an impact on a mass majority of people, from spectators to players, these endeavors create hopes and dreams for any individual. Not only that, any heart strung story coming from sports gets plastered on media outlets so a greater population of people can also be influenced by a game, but I want to go further than that. Personally, I believe there is a greater meaning behind sports than for it just to be a pastime. There is a reason that the superior divisions of athletics are harder to reach than decades before because of the higher levels of knowledge that continue to be passed down from great coaches to greater players in a never ending cycle.

Practice after practice, I made sure we were doing everything we could to be at our best for the end of the year. I didn’t care what other teams were doing because we had no control over that.
