My heart continues to beat fast but it won’t stop till the good luck charm crosses the finish line. I slowly walk to the middle of the field I show my opponents respect, but I continue to watch. The good luck charm has reached the third leg and it feels as if my heart skipped a beat. As anchor leg gets ready to take off, with the good luck charm tightly gripped in her slippery hand. She hurries down the track as if she was in the Kentucky derby.
We hustle thru it all. Because we live off our adrenaline, because the game frees your soul, because the party after the big win is spectacular, because you are invincible once you step onto the field. A big play could make you smile all day long. The rattling of the crowd, the feel of the ball, the image of the spikes in the dirt, it’s a glory to live by. Because it is possible to hustle hard enough you can leave your worries behind.
Especially in my community, it helped me establish friends and was a great way to kill the boredom. Soccer was my favorite sport. Me and around twenty other kids in my neighborhood would play soccer in my complex parking lot. Not only was it fun, it was a great activity that kept us away from the bad stuff in our community. Playing sports, preferably soccer, helped me the build confidence I needed to try out for competitive soccer teams around San Diego.
Their motto is: "That which you manifest is before you". While Denny is at work Enzo spends most of his time watching and learning from television (which Denny always keeps open for him) 'absorbing' what he can about Denny's greatest passion, race car driving — and relating it to life. He sees that life, like racing, isn't just about going fast. Using the techniques needed on the race track, anyone can successfully navigate all of life's tough experiences. Denny is especially good at driving in the rain.
As the taxi creeps along the street Wrigley Field slowly climbs out of the Chicago skyline and a beautiful thing occurs every time this happens…silence. We all slowly drift off in our sentences and take in the glory of our team’s home field. The striking red brick of the building, with the bold green ivy lazily climbing its walls and the “WRIGLEY FIELD, Home of the CHICAGO CUBS” sign screaming out from the front, and all receive the deserved moment of silence and respect they demand from those who walk inside its walls. Smiles slowly tiptoe across our faces, all though I am never sure if it is because of the look of the ballpark or the realization that the Cubby Bear is now within walking distance. As the cabbie gets paid his fee, we scamper across the street with a slight bounce in our step, and turn the corner to find our favorite pre-game bar.
He then won the Agua Caliente Handicap in Tijuana, Mexico in track-record time in his final race. He inspired everyday people to keep going no matter how tough things got and made the poor a little bit richer. Did you enjoy the film? Phar Lap was a very enjoyable movie to watch and learn from. Before watching the film I didn’t really know who Phar Lap was and the history behind it, but since I have watched the film I gained a lot of knowledge about Phar Lap and Australian history.
He told Miguel that he was very sorry for his injury and talked to him about the game. He told him that he was very impressed with his play and said that he’d be a great addition to the Fighting Irish baseball squad. The scout soon left the room and left Miguel alone with his family. It was bitter sweet that he found out that he would be playing at his dream school next, yet his high school baseball career was now over and his team would most likely lost their next game without him. Miguel was proud of himself at the end of the day.
It was early Sunday morning, when I arrived at my favorite paradise: The Motocross track. As I began to gear up, I was pondering the goals I would exceed. I slid my helmet over my head, buckled it, knowing that I had just committed to exceeding my expectations and accomplishing my goals. The feeling grew stronger as I swung my leg over the bike. After one firm kick, the bike roared.
I strongly believe that the current system is great for college football. It brings excitement to the collegiate atmosphere, as well as the constant pressure of performing every Saturday to remain undefeated. From day one, the college football season is, in fact, a playoff genre (meaning a form or category of a playoff system/format). In other words, it is the pursuit of
The stale air from the gym filled Chris’s lungs as he conducted his usual Wednesday post practice workout. It was a routine for him to run sprints and shoot free throws after his teammates and coaches had left. More often then not the last to leave the school were he and the janitor. “So what makes you do all of this when you know your team isn’t, especially before the big game.” Jack said putting down the mop and bounce passing a stray ball back to Chris. “I see it as my only way out of this place,” Chris replied breathing heavily, “The game in two days is just a stepping stone.” “Everyone knows you have over a dozen scholarship offers from big name schools
