    I am sitting in an empty football field after my last high school football game that finished a few hours ago . I’m the mid-field player on my team . But in fact that’s not    1    now . I was the mid-field player because , as I said , this was my    2    game . That’s a good way to end a high school football career（生涯）, especially if you win , but even though you don’t , it’s

   3    to leave at a high point .

    I was eight when I first started playing football . My dad    4    football , and he used to practice with me at home —passing , catching , running . We used to practice almost every evening    5   it got too dark . He tried to teach me everything he knew about the     6     .  “Just remember : don’t ever   7    .” “Stay in the game . Don’t lose your concentration（专注）.”“ Go out there and give 110 percent（百分之……）every time .” Well , that was a long time ago , but I still hear his words   8    in my ears .
