Book excerpt: Backstreet By: Daniel Vincent Pierce Three teenage boys, Michael, Sean, and Brandon, seem to be typical high school students at Evan Senior High School: they love sports, parties, and having fun. They all have to deal with different things while they grow up, but they eventually find friendship and support from each other. They discover a hot new hangout, BACKSTREET. It becomes the hottest place for teenagers to party on the weekends, but it also brings more danger than anyone could imagine.

Download or read book You Can t Play You re a Girl written by Stephanie Snell Povey and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2022-10-31 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two things were true about Stephanie Snell. First, she did not like going to school. This was mostly because she hated wearing dresses every day and worried about other kids teasing her for being so different. Second, Stephanie was angry! She continually asked why she couldn’t wear pants or even shorts under her dress and play little league baseball like the boys. The only answer she got was, “You’re a girl and that’s just the way things are.” Growing up in the 1960s may have been wonderful for some, but not for girls like Stephanie who longed to play sports and were considered ‘tomboys’.

Download or read book Playing Ball written by Vernon Davis and published by Dafina. This book was released on 2024-08-20 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NFL football star Vernon Davis delves into his astonishing career, from winning Super Bowl 50 in 2016 with the Denver Broncos to reinventing himself as an actor and producer, and recalls the hard-won lessons—including that infamous press conference—that paved his path to success. INCLUDES AN INTRODUCTION FROM COACH MIKE SINGLETARY In October 2008, after a San Francisco loss to Seattle, Vernon Davis was put on blast by Coach Mike Singletary in a fiery speech criticizing his “me-myself-and-I attitude.” It proved to be the turning point in Davis’s career, and the inspiration for him to change his mind set and his game plan, as well as his perspective on life and family. At the time, Davis was a young, talented player drafted by the San Franscisco 49ers in 2006 at number six, one of the highest drafted tight ends in NFL history. He played ten years for the 49ers, including a 2013 Super Bowl loss to the Baltimore Ravens in a 34–31 heartbreaker, where Davis recorded six catches for 104 yards. He later won a Super Bowl in 2016 with Peyton Manning and the Broncos, after nailing a crucial downfield block that sprung teammate C. L. Anderson for a key 34-yard run that helped the Broncos defeat the Carolina Panthers 24–10 for the ring. Davis retired in 2019 after four final years of playing for his hometown team in Washington, DC. He’s now deeply involved in his new passion for acting and producing. Here, he rewinds his real-life tape to reflect on his youthful beginnings, his career and competitive spirit—and the insights on teamwork, leadership, and responsibility that came in the aftermath of Coach Singletary’s press conference that prompted Davis to transform his football career and his life for the better. Weaving personal reflections with frank, real-world advice, Playing Ball is an eye-opening story of what winning—on the field and off—is all about.
