This is not the case in any kind of professional field today because no one really cares how hard you try unless you produce results and overcome the challenges you are faced with. Having said that, I also feel that participating in football for many is more than just playing the game. I myself played football for many years throughout school and even before that with Pop Warner leagues and such. All of those years spent playing did not only teach me how to run a reverse option or correctly execute a block, rather they taught me the importance of hard work, perseverance, success, and discipline among other things. As a coach I will make

They came first before anything that’s why when his father died in that race he didn’t go to victory lane he went to his father’s side and was there when he died.

Wesley lives under the shadow of his brother Frank and as the story progresses he is slowly escaping it. However, despite Wesley’s wilted physique and lack of superiority in the Hayden family hierarchy, he possesses a great deal of moral virtue and mental strengths. First of all, Wesley’s leg injury leads to other factors to develop Wesley as a better and stronger man. In his life he goes through many obstacles, such as his failure to go to war, and thus becoming the underdog of the Hayden family.

Discourse Community Analysis Rough Draft Throughout my school years, I have been involved various communities, but none were as memorable and special as my high school football team. I could even argue It was more of a family than a community. Our community was made up of guys who all had the same goal and were determined to reach it at all costs; we wanted to win, period.
