I Believe in Football by Patrick Wambold
In football, this year, I learned many new things about football and learned some things about life in general at the same time.
This year in football I learned how to be a better player. I also made some new friends playing football. This year in football I learned many things about life. I learned how to be a better person. I learned how to work with people that I don't get along with off the field. It's easier to get along in football because if you don't like someone there you just hit them harder the next chance you get! I learned more responsibility, because you have to be at practice at a certain time everyday.
In my senior year in football, I tore my ACL, MCL and my Meniscus. I was playing junior varsity but I was about to become a starter after this game. During the blazing hot summers this year, just like every high school football team, we started the year off with two-a-days . I was in good shape, because over the summer I worked out. All summer I lifted weights and ran sprints. The first week of football was not too hard for me!
This year in football I made some new friends and got closer to the ones I already had before. You usually do get closer, when you have to spend everyday with them for a couple months. Also, having friends that play in the same sports does make the sport so much better. It makes it more fun and time goes a lot faster. Making varsity this year made my football season much better. It was the best season of my life! I believe in football, as it has changed my life for the better!
