My Football Messup

As a Junior I made a mistake that I wish I could take back, Football Is my mistake, By that I mean that i think i should of Continued to play last year instead of not playing and working as much as possible.. As a junior i was in a car accident and was out of football for a week or two, After getting back to football I was not happy being a junior on a JV team and I was getting offers at work to make more money then i ever had and as a teenager that is mad at the situation of being on Junior varsity I took the extra money and I stopped playing football because I looked at the situation with football as a waist of time, and saw that I could make more money with the time I thought I was wasting on football.  As I was working non stop, I was always thinking about football, I was thinking about how it would feel to be back with my team. I always stayed in contact with my teammates and never felt like I wasn’t apart of the team. My coach was telling me that I should have stayed on the team and continued playing so I could help the team and possibly win states again but I wasn’t there for them. At the Lisbon game they were wishing that I was still there to help them and win.

My teammates were also wanting me back when I was working everyday. By texting me and calling me and even personal reactions I could tell I was wanted back on the team. My teammates would tell me everyday that they wish I was back playing and that I was needed. But as a few months went by I began to miss it more and more to the point that the night before I was so happy because It was finally here the preseason of the best sport ever.I learned that even in hard times in life you need to continue with what you enjoy. My coach and I continue to work together so that I stay on the team. He works with me around my work schedule and my family obligations, if it wasn’t for the arrangement we have I would not be able to play on the team. I was so happy that I was back to play football that I told my dad the night before ” I am so happy to start playing again to ware I could play right now. Conclusion: Soon thereafter quitting I realized that I should never have given up on football and my team. I could tell that my whole team felt the same way I did about wanting me back. I needed to continue playing what I enjoy and do what make me happy. I was back on the field in what felt like forever.I now worked hard to become a varsity player and play every game I now play often and enjoy being back with my friends and team members. When I was back I could smell the same smell of the locker room the grass on the game field felt the same. I thought to my self “finally I was back playing my sport.” I enjoy the sport and I am very sad that this is the last year ill Ever be able to play football because I will be taking on my adult life soon. I will always remember the amazing sport of football through out my life. Especially with the bonds I made with my team and my coaches.

    I couldn’t agree more, I had the same thing happen to me, with cheering though. I wish I didn’t mess up and not do cheering my freshman year, and quitting my Sophomore year too. Even though I got my concussion I went back and did it again. If we could go back and do all of it again, I am sure that you would have not made that mistake, but neither would I.

    I have made great friends with the sport of football. A lot of good things can come out of it. The team and coaches missed having you on the field. You could have been a lot of help and we could have had a lot of fun on and off the field. Im sure there was a lot of good things that came out working and making money tho
