Person, who has influenced my life
Everyone is affected by certain events or individuals that greatly change their life. Many people have influenced me during my life. One wonderful person who has had a special effect on me is my volleyball coach.
Six years ago, when I first went to the volleyball training, I found out that my coach was seventy years old. It was very surprising for me because she did not look her age. After some training with her, I realized that any young person would envy her strength and energy. At her age she was still capable of doing the same exercises that we did. When she was seventy-three, she warmed up with us and ran the five-kilometer cross-country races in the sports camp. I've never seen her being desperate, exhausted or complaining about something. In addition to this, she also has a great sense of humor and a modern worldview.
Looking at her, I wanted to have such a strong character and willpower as she has. She is an absolutely amazing human being and a great role model. The coach taught me to control my emotions and to channel them. She always reminded me that I should never, ever give up and that I need to believe in myself. She has shown me that I should take advantage of any opportunity, never be nervous in critical situations, take defeat easy, because what does not kill us makes us stronger. This wonderful woman has taught us to work as a team and instilled a sense of responsibility for our actions in us.
From my place I am thankful for everything she has taught me, because I became a part of a team with which we have won a lot of competitions. We became the winners of international championships and cups of Ukraine. While participating in the competition, I followed all of her instructions.
I am very grateful to her, because she has made a great impact on the formation of my personality and character. Also she has fostered me to love volleyball. I'm still trying to come to her training sessions and help her with everything. Knowing such person has been

    She is the person that has helped me not only to become a better athlete, but also a better student. B.R. has made a huge impact on my life because I have become a better person because of her. She is one of the only coaches that I have ever had that genuinely cares what kind of people that her players are off of the court. She teaches us to be respectful and caring, while maintaining our grades in school. When I transferred to West at the beginning of my sophomore year, B.R. was the first person to welcome me. She helped me with the transition and made me feel at home with the team. She has also been very supportive with me and some of the health problems that I have had. I have been having knee and joint pain for the past two years and was recently diagnosed with Idiopathic Rheumatoid Arthritis. The process to finding a diagnoses was a long one, but B.R. was there for me through the whole thing. She was always the first person to ask how everything was going and how I was…

I am very thankful for her.…

    Playing sports has always been something that I enjoy to do, so I decided to play a new sport. And that was volleyball. As a new volleyball player I didn’t know the complete sport of volleyball and how it was played, therefore I began to do research on different successful volleyball players. That is when I came across Destinee Hooker and when I did it made me more desirable about the game and about how to make myself a better person. I instantly started to watch YouTube videos of her from when she was in college at Texas A&M and when she became a professional volleyball player overseas and for our own country. As I began to watch her, I started to follow her throughout the volleyball season. Furthermore I learned the basic steps to volleyball by watching her compete in the games she played. In more detail she was also participated in the London Olympic games for two thousand and twelve which really influenced me as an athlete. Even though the US team did not bring back gold for our country, Destinee as a player brought gold to my heart because she gave it her all in every…

    She means more to me than life itself because when all I wanted to do is give up she never let me go. I felt safe to open up to her without fear of judgement, but with understanding, support and love. She soon began to realize that I was not who she thought I was, but knew that we actually needed each other. She began to open up with me, starting to trust me like I trusted her. However, instead of walking away and leaving like most people would have, we stayed and pushed, supported, and loved each other through the many difficulties. Without my decision of wanting to be a cheerleader I would have never met her and at times I believe that without her I would not be where I am…

    Even though, it was just a year, it was just so great. I could not put into words how much I miss it. And would do anything to be able to play again with her. Since I am going to SWIC, Lindenwood usually plays them in pre-season but for some reason SWIC did not schedule them, which upset me because I could have the chance to play against her. But overall, I am so glad that I got to play soccer for at least thirteen years. Each practice and game have taught me which made me a better player and become the player I am today. I can not thank all my coaches for what they have taught me and gave me speeches about not being so hard on myself and staying positive. The teammates I have met throughout all the years, I keep in touch with most of them. If I could start from the very beginning of being a kid, just chasing the ball, I would in heartbeat. Because it was so much fun and I love every second of it. I have put my whole life into this sport and I do not regret any decision that I turned down for this sport. I can not wait till what college has in store for me and the near future after…

    She taught me that even though when sometimes everything is going wrong, that you need to keep your head up and keep moving forward. She lost her parents, but stayed strong. She was caught two times by the Nazis, and escaped with her family’s help. She was caught a last time, and this time, she was bound to die. While in the tunnel, she could hear the screams of the Jews getting tortured, but managed to persevere and make it out alive. I believe that is important to not give up, as well as keep moving forward even when times get rough. Nothing lasts forever, and that applies to harsh feelings as well. Everyone should remember that if you put bad things in the past, it’ll be forgotten…
