Recommended: The role of motivation in sports

I couldn't believe it, I just couldn't. “I FINALLY DID IT!!!” No I meant “WE FINALLY DID IT!!!” 1 HOUR BEFORE It was a nice sunny day. Not a lot of wind, there were not many clouds and the sun was shining brighter than ever. The grass was a perfect shade of green. The goal post seemed to be shining. It was like a good dream coming to reality. I hopped out of my moms car and ran to my other teammates at the goal shooting. “Hustle up boys!” my coach said in a loud tone. (Coach doesn’t yell I never heard him do it once!) We did as told and ran to coach. “We are going to verse that team over there pointing to the other side of the soccer field.)” We have already lost to that team before. Quinn said “what's the point in trying …show more content…

Everything started to go in slow-mo. I could here my fellow teammates yelling “You can do this malachi!” or “go show them how it’s like to be scored on.” After hearing those words of encouragement I started to feel a bit better. Thoughts were going in my head “Just kick it!” I felt as if the weight of the world was on my shoulders. I lifted my leg up then kicked as hard as I could. The ball gracefully moved through the air with barely any spin. The ball flew to the upper left side of the goal. The goalie jumped up in the air to try to stop the ball from going in. The fingertips of the goalie grazed the ball but to knock it in. . “DId I just score a goal!?” I thought. My teammates came running towards me. I on the other hand just stood there shocked with the same thought going over and over in my head. Quinn fist bumped me, Bryce belly-bumped me. Then I was showered in compliments. Boy does it feel good to be a part of a team. We celebrated a little too soon. Just then the other team saw that we were distracted and had sped down the field and before you knew it they were approaching the goal. Tyler sped up to him and looked good will he stole the ball. He passed the ball to Collin. Collin ran up the field juking a couple of players. The other team somehow stole the ball from him. They ran down the field juking OUR players they were …show more content…

So we took a quick water break and then ran back to our positions. The ref blew his whistle and the other team started out with the ball. We ran down the field. They went for a shot but Bryce stopped it then booted the ball back to the half yard line. We managed to get the ball and ran down the field. Basically four most of the 4th quarter the ball went back and forth over and over again. I stole the ball from my opponent. I ran towards the goal I saw that Quinn was open so I passed the ball over to him. Quinn got it , he had to juke a couple of people to get a clear path. Then the ref yelled out there was only twenty seconds left in the game and we were only tied! Quinn past the ball to me and that’s when I started to go queasy again. My heart was pounding in my chest I could hear the faint cheers of the spectators. Then I took a deep breath and took a shot. The ball seemed to go in slow motion. The ball went straight for the pole. The goalie the goal just as the ref blowed his whistle. I just couldn't believe

We remembered that at that point, and were assured of it when the referee blew the final whistle after I served an ace on game point.

    We took the field in the second half. We won the face off this time. We went down the field, shot the ball, and the goalie saved it. He threw the ball up to his forward right in front of me, and I stepped up and hit the kid to prevent him from getting the pass and scoring. When I hit him, he fell straight to the ground and I couldn’t see where the ball was. It bounced and went in the net. I was so embarrassed at that point.

    I had not much time to think so I just acted!

When I seen the ball drop down the foul line and my teammate running home I knew I did it. I was as much emotional as I was proud for myself as I stood on the base and waited for my team to rush the field. I felt the best I had in a long time! Everything worked out just as I had wished and dreamed of it for so long.In all the midst of the cheering, yelling, and chaos I was at peace and felt the proudest of my life as I stood like a statue on that field looking like one of the joyful men on the face of the Earth that night.

  • The Perfect Gesture

    It was the third quarter of a very intense game, the score was 8-6 we were winning. Both teams were relying on their defenses to stop the opposing offense and in our case to score. From what I have heard through the “grape vine” is that the offense of North Central isn't the greatest, but we have one of the best defenses. The stands, like every other junior varsity game, had only a handful of people in them. Most of the die-hard fans were either family or girlfriends. Unlike the North Park Vikings, who suited up over 60 players in their royal blue, our junior varsity team had suited up about 29 players total. Out of those 29 select few, only 13 were on the defensive side of the ball.

Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion as she pulled her stick back and hit the ball. Afterward I sped back over to where the ball was soaring and reached out my stick, I then tried to hit the ball. I felt like a bull charging at a red flag as I whacked the ball to the ground.

    The play was "Red 334"which is a run to our halfback, me, out of our dive series. I crouched over the ball as I jetted past the quarterback and ran the play so we could observe the changes we needed to make. I let out a sigh of relief because we were finished with the most dreaded part of practice; well, only until someone complained about not knowing their job on one of our pass plays. Coach Nelson undoubtedly decided we needed to run through the final pass play before we perfected our defense. The play was quietly called in the huddle with intentions of getting it right. I ran the play through my mind while I tried to remember what the snap count was and what I was supposed to do for that play. The ball was snapped and I jolted to the left of our team's quarterback to set up his backside protection. Out of my peripheral vision, I noticed the defensive end raging toward the quarterback. I intensely stepped into him while lowering my body and exploded through his shoulder pads sending him stumbling into the line's pass protection.
