Personal Narrative: Falls Church Football

420 Words2 Pages

Bloody, bruised, and battered, Falls Church’s football team fought on in the fourth quarter. A football flew through the air as players crashed into one another sprinting to the ball, except I wasn’t on the field, nor was I on the sideline. I was a freshman watching our varsity footall team lose 0 to 48 on homecoming night, a familiar sight to many Falls Church students for the past 40 years.

    My church plays in the Turkey Bowl Flag Football Tournament every November. This was not only a time to bond with my youth group, but to also create friendships with other church teams. However, there was a problem: my team consisted of players from age 13-20; however, the 13 year olds had little-to-no flag football experience. Consequently, they got less playtime and slowly became discouraged However, as a leader I wanted to show them otherwise: I coached them, helped them, and give them a new perspective on the game.

  • Compare And Contrast Coach Yoates And Droor

    “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.”--Ambrose Redmoon Consequently, the soul stirring and heart wrenching motion picture of “Remember the Titans” depicts so eloquently the sacrifices one has to make to stand up firmly in support of their most cherished, morally sound beliefs, and for some it causes him or her to examine whether their beliefs are worth preserving. Thus, this tale of tremendous victory against overwhelming odds is an excellent reminder that valor is a virtue that overpowers paralyzing fear. Because of integration, T.C. Williams successfully merged two high school football teams into one team, which became an unstoppable force in Alexandria, Virginia in the 1970’s in the midst of prevalent social unrest. Nevertheless, the personal struggles of Coach Yoates and Gary Bertier are extraordinary illustrations of the prized possessions one may lose standing up for internal beliefs, which are loss of popularity, loss of economic livelihood, and ultimately loss of existence.
