The locker room was silent, no one dared to say anything for five long excruciatingly minutes. Each and everyone listening to the sorrow pounding out of their hearts. The team was expected to play in their biggest game yet, but there was one problem, their star running back was injured, the running back who carried the team, so naturally there was an anticipation of losing this game, but they couldn’t, the football team they were going up against was also lossless, this game would decide who advances in the playoffs. Not to mention it 's all anyone would talk about at school, everyone was counting on them to bring a win home. How do you win when you 're so lost and the trail is nowhere insight. So as the football coach gave his pep talk it was hopeless, No mattered how hard he …show more content…

No one can afford to slack off, everyone has a role to play, and in order to win everyone has to be held accountable.” he finished off with plain voice that contained no emotion. The players weren 't fools, they could see right through him,his voice flat there was no heart in the way he spoke, he didn’t believe they could win, most of all he didn’t believe in them at all. How were they suppose to win when a man who was suppose to be the pinnacle of hope and inspiration for the team had even lost faith in them. That was an agonizing feeling to be considered defeated before even playing the game. They looked at the clock which was ticking away the time until they lost their pride, and all throughout the time in the locker room the football players continued to feel this soul-crushing pressure that lingered throughout the air, a pressure to perform to the best of their ability, but how could they when there best player was out. So eventually the players mustered up the courage and plastered a battle face on, they stood up walked to the middle chanted a prayer, then dragged their cleats along the floor scuffing it up in the process and went to fight a war that they already deemed they

    They had won. James did it, he had done what he’d promised, to win it for Wesley, not for himself, not for his team, but for Wesley. He was crying tears of triumph, James had gone through so much, outlasting an injury, having his best friend die, no one would step in the way of James, no one. James didn’t party after the game, he didn’t do anything except go to the cemetery, where his friend was buried. He set the number 17 jersey on the gravestone, and wrote on the back right under the number 17 “We did it Wesley, we won the state title again, I wish you could’ve been here to share the moment with us.

    Coach Rockwell was seriously ill, and their new coach did not appeal to them. What stuck out to me during this book was the theme that the author was trying to convey. Even when times get tough, that doesn’t mean you should quit; you should push on because it will pay off. “Chip was really bugged now, but he kept quiet, resolved to play as hard as he knew how,” (Bee 126). Before this, Coach Brasher was screaming his lungs out at Hilton for not going 100 percent.

Martin and Daniel Lindsay, an underprivileged black high school football team tries to break the streak of never having won a playoff game as long as the school has been around.

  • Edward Hirsch's Execution Poem Analysis

    566 Words  | 3 Pages

    “Execution” by Edward Hirsch is about an adult recollecting his thoughts about his high school football career and especially how his coach inspired him because his authoritative role model was battling cancer. The speaker talks about the coach’s goal for “perfect execution” and the infinite strategies the coach would draw up in order to reach his goal. The speaker concludes with their team’s loss against “the downstate team” and how they were ironically defeated by “perfect execution.” A superficial reader might assume that the poem was about the disappointing results that came from his team working hard to reach a goal, but the author’s use of impersonal tone and irony in the fact that their team’s loss is caused by “perfect execution” shows how a strong force can be conquered even when putting your best foot forward when accepting a challenge. Have you ever been a part of a team that seemed invincible and you lost?

When I was around 4 or 5, I was in the living room watching the Steelers play the Cardinals and saw Santonio Holmes grab a game winning touchdown to win the Superbowl. I was so excited that I jumped up in the air and I told my dad, “Daddy when I grow up I want to play football and I want to score a lot of touchdowns just like 10 does.”

  • Personal Narrative Essay: The Game Of American Football

    829 Words  | 4 Pages

    Adrenaline pulsing through my body and anxiety filling up in my stomach, I quickly throw on my football gear and head out to the practice field. It’s a nice hot day in Ocala, Florida, with the sun beating down on our necks, we stand side by side in line waiting to be picked to play second, third, or fourth string in a play. Waiting in anticipation, each of us grinding our teeth, watching first string pure athletes colliding against each other like gladiators to have possession of a ball made at one-time of “pig’s skin”. To some people, the game of American football makes no sense, whether it’s the idea of trying to protect a ball or running and passing it to make a goal for your team. People like this, see the concept of football and understand why millions of people love it; but to them the sport is pointless and causes way too many casualties.

They were touched by his honesty and openness in the beginning of his speech, which was an attention getter, then intrigued by the challenge to sacrifice for the team and fight for the inches need to win and survive. The coach ended the speech with a summation of the team fighting for that inch together and then concluded with the question, “…now, what are you gonna do”.
