Personal Narrative Essay: The Day Of The Big Game

538 Words3 Pages

The Day of the Big Game Have you ever been so nervous for something but also super excited at the same time? This happened to me on the day of my first tackle football game against our team 's biggest rivals (Linganore), in front of my family and friends on a perfect day for football. That is a day I will never forget. For the last few years I’ve had a love for football, but was only allowed to play flag football (no tackle football). I disliked flag football and was so happy when I finally was allowed to sign up for Urbana Hawks tackle football this Fall. I bought all of my equipment over the Summer, practiced, and was ready to play. I also was so excited to find out that my neighbor and best friend (Tony) was on my team.

Tony and I got to the game and met our team, put on pads, and started stretching. “Its gametime Chase. Get ready to do your best” said Coach Tomasulo.

I was so excited at that time I felt like that I could fly. Then music came on, and the kick return unit (which I was a part of) started the game. A kid on my team named Nathan who was a good fullback muffed the kick, the other team got it, and down went our hearts. Sadly the game continued like this and unfortunately we lost 25-0.
At the end of the game, I felt tired and sad about that we lost my first game as a tackle football player. But I still learned a lot from the experience and tried to remember that there 's always the next game. I couldn 't have let that first loss take me down in new favorite sport of tackle football. Our team learned a

    I was having mixed emotions; I was anxious because it would be the last time cheering with people I love, and I was afraid of messing up. I looked at my friend Landry and said, “We got this!” She looked at me and smiled. The music started and I began the routine which I had done millions of times before.
