The topic of this essay is how the applicant has matured and changed since his freshman year. whether i succeed or fail is irrelevant it is only important that i have tried and tested myself. the coaches have always said before games that nothing is impossible i know that now. i realize that it is necessary to risk failure in order to gain success. if i fail, it doesn't matter if they mock or ridicule me i'll just try again and do it better. but most important, i have also gained self-confidence. from my coaches and fellow teammates, i have learned to work well with others in a group, as it is necessary to cooperate with teammates on the playing field. from months of tough practices, i have gained a hard work ethic. Over the years, playing football has taught me what it takes to succeed. now, as i dawn on my senior year of football and am faced with two starting positions, i feel like a changed person. sometimes i made great plays, for which i was congratulated. these occurrences only compounded my fears of playing. yet i received a thorough verbal lashing at practice for the mistakes i had made. most of the time the mistakes were not significant they rarely changed the outcome of a play. on such occasions, i often made mistakes. during my sophomore season, my position at backup guard led me to play in the varsity games on many occasions. i was still afraid of making mistakes and getting blamed by screaming coaches and angry teammates. Yet my apprehension prevailed as i continued to fear getting put in the game in case another player was injured. all the while, i went to practice and everyday, i went home physically and mentally exhausted. i refrained from asking questions in class, afraid they might be considered too stupid or dumb by my classmates. that aspect of my character led the first years of my high school life. i did not want the responsibility of the team because i was too afraid of making a mistake. i didn't want to be the one at fault if i dropped the ball and the play didn't succeed. the fact of the matter is that i really did not want to be thrown the ball. however, during the game, i noticed that i didn't run as hard as i could, nor did i try to evade my defender and get open. the players were split up and the game began. on the first day of freshman practice, the team warmed up with a game of touch football. football has altered all of these qualities. before my freshman year at, i was shy, had low self-esteem and turned away from seemingly impossible challenges. it has changed my entire outlook on and attitude toward life. I have learned a great many things from participating in varsity football.
