It was one of the most anticipated games of the season, The Dolphins vs. The Eagles. Both teams were playing tremendously well the entire game. By the two minute mark The Eagles made it all the way down the field to score a touchdown and a conversion leaving the game tied. Now The Eagles defense had to defend really well, and pull as many flags as possible for the next 4 downs. The Dolphins are 1st and 10, and the quarterback launches the biggest throw of the game resulting in a TOUCHDOWN. The Dolphins win the first flag football City Championship ever in league history against The Eagles.
In our lifetime we often find sports and hobbies that we enjoy, but we aren’t always aware of all the sports and hobbies that exist. Most times we don’t know how much comes with playing certain sports, but if it is a sport we really enjoy we are willing to put ourselves through these things because of our love for the sport. A sport that I enjoy a lot is flag football. This sport has given me a new outlook on sports and how I go about being an athlete. Over the past few years I have grown a passion for this sport that has led me to be overly committed to this sport. I am passionate about flag football because I find it very fun to play and I see myself being a part of this sport in the future whether that is me playing or coaching flag football. Before I started playing flag football on a team I just played basketball and that was the only sport I was focused on. I originally didn’t want to play flag football because I felt like I wouldn’t like it because of how physical I thought it was, and flag football wasn’t really talked about like basketball. I was always interested in other sports, but never wanted to take them seriously. Once I went to try out for the flag football team I tried being a receiver which I was decent at, but then it was time to see if I could throw the ball. The first throw was so magical, the way the ball gracefully pushed through the wind and landed into the receivers arms. This made me instantly want to continue to play flag football and become the Quarterback for the team. Although I wanted this great position on the field I didn’t know what was to come with it. Now that I have played flag football for about 3 years now I have grown a lot as an athlete and as a leader on the team. It has taught me to be more vocal because of the position on the field as Quarterback and as a captain of the team. By learning to be more vocal it has allowed me to be more comfortable speaking in class and to people I wouldn’t usually talk to.
Being a part of the flag football team has taught me to have better communication skills with teammates and coaches. I learned that communication is very important in sports because that can be the deciding factor in a win or a loss. If you are someone who is interested in finding a new sport to play I think you should try flag football. It will allow you to become more athletic and bring you into a new environment especially if you haven’t played an outdoor sport before. Joining a new sport allows you to learn something new and meet new people.
