Personal Narrative: I Love The Game

183 Words1 Pages
I have been playing lacrosse since I was three years old. I love the game and have even written papers on the origins of the game as well as great players of the lacrosse. I play defense but was initially a midi, then attack, and played goalie for a few years until I finally found my preferred position.
I play for my high school varsity team and this past spring, we won the division pennant for the first time in my school 's history. It was a proud moment and to see the division champion pennant hanging in the gym with all the other sports pennants.
I also play on travel club teams in the summer and fall. I love these teams because I get to meet players from other areas of the state and I feel mixing it up really helps to strengthen my game.

Now if you have no idea what lacrosse is I can explain a bit of the rules. First of all there are 24 people on the field counting goalies and the other team. There are defenders, attackers, and midfielders just like in soccer. The goal of the game is to get the ball down the field and score like soccer. When I was at my first game, I had played defense.

It was the middle of January, dead of winter of my eighth grade year. Coach Brooklyn Howell, the Lady Cougars basketball coach came up to me and said “come tonight, 5:30 at Byrnes Freshman Academy to try out and see if you like lacrosse.” I did not really know if I wanted to play in the cold, because I was so used to playing in a warm gym during the cold winter months. Lacrosse really did not seem like a sport that I wanted to play. But I tried it out anyway.

As you run down the field cradling the lacrosse ball in your stick, it feels like every other girl is barreling toward you at full speed. There is no better feeling, though, than to shoot the ball and watch it sail past the goalie into the net. Growing up in Baltimore, lacrosse is practically a religion. However, I never really felt any interest in lacrosse. In the Spring of my junior year, one of my friends begged me to try out for my high school’s lacrosse team.

Lacrosse has been part of my life since before I was even born. My mother, uncle, and cousins played, so it was only natural that I picked up a stick as well. I started playing at a young age and am grateful to have the opportunity to continue playing now at the collegiate level. However, for all the time that I have spent competing in the sport, there is another, more unique side to the game that I am also quite experienced in. I began refereeing for youth players in early high school and have continued to this day.

Throughout the history of the world men and women have struggled with the decision of whether or not to abort or keep an unwanted or unplanned fetus. An abortion, at its core, seems to be just ridding a woman of an unwanted or unplanned burdened, but this issue is so much more than a simple medical operation; it has lasting consequences on not only the fetus but the woman and family forced into the situation. The ultimate decision on whether or not to have an abortion will be influenced by many different factors: religion, social standards and acceptance, and the morals of the man and woman in question. It is becoming more and more common for couples to seek abortions. However, the Christian church is still strongly opposed to the notion of

I was so shy throughout my life that I didn't know how to make friends. Joining a team sport has allowed me to open myself up to not only everyone on the team, but to people outside of the group. Now, I have the biggest support system in my life. My team has been here for me since freshman year and I'm grateful for that. They listen to me when I need to vent, push me to my full potential and bring me up when I’m down.

Putting the fun back into physical activity for children will do wonders to foster PA. You don’t see children playing in neighborhoods anymore. A constructive approach to developing outdoor free play is, in my opinion, the cornerstone of developing a love of doing, moving, and being physically active. Many children don’t enjoy the harshness of competitive sport (I was one of them) but do enjoy being out and about doing things. As a child play that involved running, cycling, swimming, and skating were all the things that I truly loved.

The biological approach believes us to be as a consequence of our genetics and physiology. Physiology is how the nervous system and hormones work and how the brain functions. It examines how changes in structure and function can affect behaviour. The Biological; approach examines thoughts, feelings, and behaviours from a biological and physical point of view. An influence within the biological approach is genetics, characteristics that are not suited to a species’ environment will die out as it struggles to survive, and with time will evolve over generations so that only adaptive characteristics remain in future offspring.
