Sports Today
Sports are played all over the world today. Every country has its primary sport and then others. The most popular sport in the world today is soccer. In America there are many popular sports like baseball, football, hockey, basketball, soccer, and many more. Sports were a big part of my childhood and my life today. Sports helped me build a relationship with my dad and brother, whether it was watching a team together or playing on the front yard. This made memories for the rest of my life.Without sports my life wouldn’t have be the same as it is today.
Ever since I was a little kid I have had sports in my life. Coming from experience, I can tell you one thing, Sports memories are forever. As I move on in life and start college and move farther and farther away from the fun times of being a kid, I can reflect on a great child hood filled with sports thanks to my parents and brother who would support me in anything I did. They were there when I decided I wanted to be like my big brother and play basketball. They were there when I wanted to give up on basketball to play hockey. They were there when I wanted to give up hockey and concentrate on my favorite sport baseball. Through all of my successes and all of my failures, my dad and brother were there to support me.
I can still remember the day I got my first game winning hit. It was a sunny June afternoon and the score was tied. There was one out and a runner on second base. The parents were all cheering loudly. My dad and brother were in the outfield watching and cheering like the usually did. I still remember the smell of freshly cooked hot dogs form the concession stand, I felt like I was at a pro stadium. As I stepped up to the plate my heart was pounding fast. When I looked up the pitcher was staring at me like we were having a staring contest. He than threw his first pitch and I leaned in and smacked the ball to right field. It felt like a year has gone by while I was running to first. When I finally got there

    In a small, rural town called Arlington in Vermont, playing sports was a normal thing to do. It was nothing special it was just a way to waste time. There were only three sports you could play, soccer, basketball, and baseball. No football, hockey, etc. For me though, I loved the smell of the fresh grass when I was on the soccer field and the basketball courts. I loved when my parents watched me from the sideline and I could hear them cheering me on. It was just the best feeling to have. As I grew up in Vermont I never really knew how a big town or city felt like being in. I was in a school with only 400 kids in the whole high school! There was no loud traffic or packed mall, it was just farms and the pond. You had to make your own fun out of things. That’s why I loved to play sports.…

    Athletics is ingrained in the human experience and is an integral part of American culture. Because of that, many of my weekends and after school hours have been dedicated to either watching a game or starting one with the kids in the neighborhood. Athletics runs deep in my family. My great uncle was a professional baseball player and my family, including my father, three brothers and a sister, are all very involved with the various team sports. It’s this immersion into various sporting activities that has led me to the understanding that engaging in athletics has a very positive impact in our lives. Additionally, sports are extremely important in building one’s character through hard work, learning to work with others on a team and by learning how to cope with the joy of winning and the inevitability of losing.…

    I had just finished my freshman year of high school, now playing on my school’s summer baseball team. It was a perfect summer night on the baseball field; playing against one of the teams I disliked the most, Ava. It was always a close game playing them; they had good players who always played hard. Going into the 7th inning the game was tied, three to three. I came up to the plate wanting to help my team win the game. As the pitch came in my eyes lit up, it was a fastball right down the middle. I swung and hit the ball into left field.…

    I got to my team's field and saw the perfectly chalked batter's box and baselines. I went into to the dugout and saw the lineup and I was batting first! I had the same excitement in this moment as I do every time I get a king size crunch bar on Halloween. I started to warm up and I felt good. Game Time was coming up but it felt like forever. I was getting the feeling that you get when you put a hot pocket in the microwave and your are waiting for that very very long minute. The ump told us to go to the dugouts and we knew it was game time. I got my helmet and batting gloves on and grabbed my bat. I took a couple swings in the on deck circle then I stepped into the batter's box. I swung at the first pitch and heard a sweet pop off my bat and watched my line drive hit land in front of the centerfield man and I was on first base with a leadoff single. All the nervous energy I had was…

    Sports are cultural practices that differ from place to place and time to time. How they are defined, organized, and integrated into social life varies from group to group. To understand sports we must view them as social phenomena (Coakley & Donnelly, 2004).

    Sports have always played an important role in my life. Growing up my parents encouraged me and my brother to try a multitude of sports. From a very young age, my parents urged us to play what they categorized as a “life sports” along with team sports. In their eyes, a life sport is an activity you can play throughout your life. I continue to play golf, paddle tennis, tennis, and skiing today. During my elementary and middle school days I always wanted to be a part of a team, enjoying the comradery that came along with it.

    Sports is something I wasn't able to enjoy as a young girl. My parents did not expose me to new activities. I would on the regular bases just come from school, do homework and chores around the house. My father believed girl should not get full of dirt but rather be in the house cleaning. Instead of purchasing a basketball or a football my dad would buy my sisters and I Barbies and hair supplies. At the time my brother was not born so my dad didn't have the chance to raise a man. If we fell my father would allow us to cry as much as we wanted. He would then comfort us. In contrast with my brother, my father would tell him to wipe it off when he fell and he would mention only girls cry. Before I would agree with him and would give my brother similar comments.…
