Things to consider

I believe i did have enough detail in my descripting of the field.
The school that field was on I went to my whole life. From kindergarten until graduation. Throughout my time there I played Lacrosse, football, soccer, and even had PE on that field. I had a lot of good wins and hard losses. I’ve bleed, I’ve cried, and I’ve sweat on that field for many years. Even now I still go back and coach on that field. These were the moments that affected me the most on that field.
One way to do this is to take a character from that place and in order to establish some character development behind that particular person you can build a little character development through this. Another way is to describe another situation that was similar to the one you were experiencing, and use it as an explanation as to why you reacted the way you did.
You have to know who you are intending to read this personal narrative. If they are very emotional you should probably try to use more Pathos to try and get to them. If they are an extremely logical and academically oriented audience then use more Logos.
I believe they have values of standing up for you friends, and fighting to try and help them as well as yourself. The sports were fun, but the reason I played was because i was surrounded by all my best friends and it made me want to work hard for them.
