Personal Narrative: Football And Play Football

Decent Essays
Have you ever done something that you thought you could not do? When I was younger I liked to watch football and play football outside. I was happy that I was playing football my first season but I was also very nervous. I did not know many of the rules or the fundamentals of football when I started at all so I started to train. A time I thought I could not do something that I could do was to play football.
My dad and my coach got together and they started taking me out everyday to do lots of drills to get better. Over time I got better and better at the sport and became more confident in what I was doing on the field. At first I never thought I could do none of the conditioning or the work. But my dad told me not to quit at anything or you won’t finish what you started. Then It was time for my first football game.

To get rid of the butterflies I was remembering what it took to get here and all of the hard work and practice it took for this moment to happen. Finally the game started, after the first couple of plays and hitting other people I was not nervous anymore. A few plays later I caught my first touchdown pass. The whole crowd was cheering for me,and i was so relieved that I made the touchdown. A lesson I learned from my story is to never say you can’t do something if you don’t no you can and to always try something new.
As you can see, a time that I thought I could not do something that I could do was play football. I think believing in yourself is important because if you do anything is possible as long as you put your mind to it. I want you as the reader to understand to Never think you can not do something until you do it even though it might sound like something you would never be able to
