the allure of sports by dylan. s. zera, james madison high school, san antonio, texas.

 

 

Sports are extremely alluring in many ways. They allure people of both sexes and all ethnic backgrounds and global regions to watch them as well as to play them.

I personally have always been very active in sports since I was a young child. Each year my parents encouraged me to enroll in little league baseball.

I played baseball from T-ball at age five until I was thirteen. I was a reliable player in almost every position on the diamond. Plus, one year my team actually had a winning record and we managed to win first place in the Sayreville Little League Post-Season Tournament. What a thrilling venture that was.

As I grew older I found myself intrigued with playing hockey. I began playing indoor hockey at the local recreation department of my hometown, Sayreville, New Jersey, at the age of eight at the Truman Elementary School (got into goaltending in fifth grade) up to sixth grade at the Sayreville Middle School, winning the tournament in Sixth Grade the same year my Little League team won the championship. After I moved to San Antonio, Texas, a few short months later, I began playing street hockey with my friends. Then about two years ago I purchased my first set of ice hockey goalie pads which allowed me to further myself in physical activity. To this day I continue to enjoy a good game of street or ice hockey. I was becoming a man of many trades, dropping baseball and picking up football in middle school along with equipment managing for the AHL affiliate of the Phoenix Coyotes, the San Antonio Rampage.

   Equipment managing may sound easy, but when you have guys that get called up or sent down all the time, it is not too easy keeping track of over forty sets of hockey equipment, plus everything else that is needed on game days and for practice. But all that stressful work pays out in the long run; I get to meet guys that will play in the NHL and I will get to say, "I worked for that guy back when he was in the minors." What a great privilege that is. Plus I have learned what it takes to make it in the world of professional sports. It is a fun job but when on salary, there will be sleepless nights, long grueling road trips, and food options are not always the best, but life is not always going to be perfect.

Now football, I wanted to play pop-warner as a young boy, but never did. I was given my opportunity at Harris Middle School in San Antonio, Texas. Learning the game was not easy, but I managed to put my mind to it, advancing from the bottom of the line-up to starting on both offense and defense, even had some shots on special teams, but it didn't work out well at first; one can only take in so much at a time. My eighth grade year I did about the same; we almost won the district title, well tie actually, fell short of one win.
 My freshman year at James Madison High School I started at defensive end on the A team and substituted as a defensive tackle and for the other end. Our team split even that year. Most recently, the junior varsity team went undefeated claiming the district title, although I was not the starting defensive end (or any defensive position, period) it was quite the feat to pull off. Now I am looking to go back to the defensive line on varsity for my junior year where I can hopefully rise up to the challenge to beat out the others who hope to play the position.

For my college education, I am planning to study Sports Medicine hoping to establish a career in sports, either behind the scenes or as a professional player. One way or another I would love to spend my year in the workforce in an athletic environment.
