Is this a good essay topic?

sounds like you are pretty negative in that paragraph that you wrote. make sure that you don’t show a negative attitude in your essay. focus on your positive attributes (example - you are proactive, take initiative, leadership etc.).

but in case that paragraph wasn’t a preview to the essay and all you want feedback from is your essay topic then the topic is fine. although your essay is a metaphor between football and your mother make sure that you are the main focus and not an afterthought.

that being said, it is impossible to asses the quality of an essay based on the title alone. My advice to you - based on my experience (I’m not the best writer) - is to start early, revise often and ask people who know about essays to review it. I changed my essay topic alone about 5 times before I wrote something really good. I’m not saying that you will have to do that but it’s just a heads up.
