All the practices, weight lifting, and early morning off-season practices lead up to your senior season of football. This is what you’ve dreamed of as a little kid and this is the last time you will ever play on your schools football field. This is when your hard work and dedication makes you the best you’re going to be.
The beginning of the season didn’t start off the way we wanted it to, but it was a good time to get better and learn from our mistakes. The mistakes we did make were small ones that could be fixed. As the season went on we learned from our mistakes and by the end of the season, we were playing our best football.
The last few games of the season I had played my best at running the ball, blocking, and getting my reads to tackle at linebacker. The team and I were playing well as we entered the post-season, and we felt confident in our abilities to move on. Even though we thought we were at our best, we still lost a tough, hard hitting game by one point in the final seconds. It was a tough game to deal with because we all knew that we should have won that game because we were the better team.
By playing sports in high school, I learned about hard work, dedication, and teamwork that will carry on through college. It doesn’t matter in the end if you won or lost but that you can truly say you did your best and gave it everything you had to give.
