Texas is known for its agricultural landscape but most of all by Friday night Football. In small town communities like Dimmitt being on the varsity team is a big deal.Being moved to Junior Varsity football after making the varsity team, put me in a position to contemplate my loyalty to the sport and to the coaches I felt betrayed me. It's the first day of two-a-days, and I was put on the varsity team for middle linebacker. I was not supposed to be on varsity, but since I was at every summer workout and studied the sport for the upcoming season I earned a spot. When we went to start practice I was starting on both defense and offense and I felt unstoppable.Two weeks went by and we had our first scrimmage against the hale center. I …show more content…

On Monday 5 seniors didn't show up and the Junior Varsity team consisted of the just the quarterback. The week dragged slower than usual and our practices always resulted in some type of punishment. On Friday coach decided to have a practice to make up for the week. It was time to condition and a senior decided to pick a fight with me, and being a very prideful person I did not back down. After we fought we were made to call our parents and had a meeting with the board of directors. The consequence of our action was a game suspension for the senior and I was moved to Junior Varsity, and the only way I was to get moved up was if the team made it to playoffs. I felt betrayed because of all the effort I put in to be on the varsity it was taken away from me in a 4 hour time span. When I was moved down I hated the sport of football and I could not quit because I wouldn't be allowed to play the next season. I went to practice and watched all my friends play on the varsity with envy. I was anti-social on the field and made the other Junior Varsity players fear me when it was time to start practicing. The varsity had won one district game and the last game determined playoffs.They lost and it ended my hope of being on the varsity team my junior

I was in my Junior season for football, and it was looking to be a good one. We started off doing well, but we struggled at time, though we bent but didn’t break. We kept at perfect record of 5-0 heading into our homecoming game, and we had just came off a huge last second victory over a top-rated team in the state. I was injured during that game but failed to tell anyone, failure number one. I told myself that I was going to play the homecoming game because we were playing the worst team in the state and figured I couldn’t hurt myself any worse, failure number two.

is ​As a senior in high school I was cut from my Varsity volleyball team. This had a huge affect on me, I was devastated. Anyone who knows me, knows that volleyball is my world. I was cut for being "uncoachable" which is an odd way of defining someone who has been a dedicated student-athlete for years. I sat on this for weeks, trying to figure out what I should do.

I am a student in Lopez Early College High School and I am in the varsity football team. Last year in the 2014-2015 football season we the team went 0-10. That means that we went 0 wins and 10 losses. Last year we were a bunch of sophomores in the varsity team and as a team in general we were not experienced in playing in a varsity game, since we really went from the freshman football team straight to the varsity football team. I remember that when we played Los Fresno my sophomore we lost to them extremely bad, I remember the score being 72-0.

As the tournament progressed we lost 1 game out of the 12 or 13 games we played. My coach proceeded to sit us down on a dirty curb in the parking lot and cussed each one of us out. All 12 of his players, went one by one down the line and told all of us how selfish and horrible we were. As he approached me in the line I knew it would be awful and when he finally got to me he proved me right. He called me stupid, terrible, unreliable, and cowardly.

This was a huge step for me considering I did not even start JV a year ago. Although my dream came true by playing varsity with the upperclassmen, I did not want to stop there. I continued to listen to coach’s tips and work on my ball handling skills during practice. While my sophomore year consisted of more of a learning experience from playing JV, to adjusting and playing at the varsity level, I grew as a player and a person; I remained proud of what I accomplished. Time passed and before I realized it, my junior season arrived.

I didn't believe, but he kept working with me and made me feel confident in what i could do. My coach was true motivator and he made you want to play harder for him. I led the school to a state championship and had a lot of high school coaches calling my mom.

We went over the amount of time we had to practice which was summoned up to 12 hours a week and we had to sign our contracts knowing we are willingly giving up our time. It was a pretty intense way to end my first semester of highschool as a freshmen,but giving up my time and freedom wasn’t that hard, shockingly I was actually excited to be part of the colorguard team and ready to be off the field and into a gym. A week before our winter break the whole team got called into our instructors office Mrs.A we called her, she was always very serious and mean nothing happy or enthusiastic about her character. With about 22 girls in the office it was surprisingly very quiet she told us to shut the door of her office and all you could hear were the a.c vents going and and at that moment I looked toward my captain's face and all you could see was disappointment and sadness.

Later that day when it was my turn to show the coaches what I could do, I really pushed myself to the best that I could possibly do.
