Brandon Smith object speech

hello my name is Brandon Smith and the object that I chose from my speech is football in my speech I will talk about how football has helped me in the past how it's helping me in the present and how it will hopefully help me in the future with kids in the past I started playing football when I was 5 years old as a young boy I was always kicking the football through imaginary goal poost in the house and wanted to play one day my dad took me to a practice and the coach looked at me and said hey guys we have enough for 11 plus players so at that point I was already on the team I went through that year on a bad team but learning a lot of things in life about how to overcome the adversity especially when it's rough the next year I played football and my dad coached me this time we was a whole lot better as we ended up making the playoffs you would have thought they was ready to elect my dad mayor in the future when I was in the fourth grade I played football again but at a new school I made a a lot of new friends because I played football that carried me all the way through my high school years and even into now I took a year off due to my grandmother having cancer and then in the six in my sixth grade year I returned to football still in peeway this year we uh had a lot of success but ended up getting beat by a team that was bigger and I learned that sometimes it doesn't matter what all you do it just ain't enough when I played in eighth grade I learned that even when I'm having hard days at school and I'm in the the weirdest point in my life that football can still help me overcome adversity and then all throughout my high school years it was all about overcoming adversity in the ninth grade I played but had severe asthma problems due to being out of shape my 10th grade year I went through all of workouts and thought that I finally arrived on the scene I ended up getting hurt and being out for the whole season I ended up losing my grandfather this year but I still always had football my 11th grade year I gained a lot of weight and was out of shape again because of the injury and I was depressed because I lost my grandfather football was helping bring me back to that until I had another season ended injury that required surgery my senior year in spring training I got hurt again but I still knew that I could overcome adversity because of what I had learned with football in the past as a young kid my senior year went on I was not a great player but I was a very smart player my coaches admired me for it I ended up deciding that I wanted to pursue a teaching and coaching career as of now I'm a coach at cusa Christian School where I'm the assistant offensive coordinator wide receiver tight ends and defensive backs coach for their junior varsity I feel very confident in the knowledge that I have in football because of all the trials and tribulations that I put into football every day I get off work and go coach kids and I enjoy it every day because I get to see them go through the same obstacles schools that I went through as a young kid and how they can make it through their own in their own way in the future I hope that I can uh pursue a coaching career until I'm in very old age at some point I hope to move to the college level in within the next two years as a student assistant at Jacksonville set during this I will use the lessons that I learned as a young kid and that my father taught me to help some kid in the future have a better life because I was involved that's the reason why I the reason why everybody else does thank you
