Football:
- In American football, a two-point conversion is a PAT where the ball crosses the goal line via run or pass. (In six-man football, however, the traditional PAT kick is worth two points, whereas a PAT via pass or run is only one point.)
- In Association football, the scoring of two goals by one individual in a single match is referred to as a brace.
- The successor of a brace is the "hat-trick", three goals scored by one player.

“It was so hard to pry this door open, and if I mess up I know the people behind me are going to have it that much harder. Because then there’s living proof. They can sit around and say, “See? It doesn’t work.” I don’t want to be their living proof.”
