As was stated, something that I hold dear today is my extracurricular activities. One of the aspects of that is how most of the ones that I play are team sports. Team sports require a constant relationship between you and your teammates that you have to build through practicing. If…
To start off, during the film, “Brooklyn Castle”, all the members of the team had to do their part on their team to win. As an example in the film Pobo said to Patrick, “You are a part of this team, so you have to do your best.” Which shows how hard the team works, and how the teammates want everyone to win. Another example that shows how all the members of the team had to do their part on their team to win is when Pobo lost one of the tournaments, and everyone was there to support him. Even though they knew that they had a lower chance of winning as a…
1) One of the issues is the lack of cohesiveness and willingness to contribute in a team environment. Crew relies heavily on teamwork and demands that all team members “buy in” to the concept of performing as one athlete. 2) As the leader of the group, coach Preczewski did not effectively incorporate the proper team building exercises or instill trust among teammates that is critical in a team environment. 3) A “star mentality” was evident among the members of the varsity team. Members of this group would routinely critique each other individually on the details of practice or a race. However, members of the junior varsity team did not criticize each another individually. If corrections were needed, they never singled out a crewmember, but made comments about the necessary adjustments needed to improve the effort of the team.…
Jim Thompson wrote, ”Sports provide an endless procession of teachable moments, which can be obscured by a win at all cost mentality.” I will explained with the information I have been given and with the information I already have. Sports, as I mentioned before, they can help in many different ways. For example, work when you are working and you stumble upon a problem that you can’t fix by yourself. You ask for help which is teamwork and collaboration. Jim Thompson Jim Thompson exclaimed, ”All distractions from the big picture life lessons that can include teachable spirit, resilience, grit, self confidence, teamwork, determination and empathy.” Finally one of the biggest and most important thing there is, don’t be selfish because you will ruined the point of the game for you and your teammates and then the point of the game will be for nothing no teamwork, no leadership and no…
She said, “Despite it being our first game in all, we played well. We ran plays smoothly and all worked well together. We definitely will be working on zone defense and rebounding, because during the game we really lacked those skills. The junior varsity played just as well even though they are the youngest team we’ve had for ten years. Coach pushes us to work hard every practice, and that’s what we all need in order to reach the next level and win our games.”…
Being one of the top ranked athletes in Port Arthur Texas, experiencing great competition from other schools and students, setting an example as a leader and participating in a school activity kept me as a young student focused on school and being a part of a team. I felt that I had a dedication to my teammates, my coaches, my teachers, and friends. Having someone look up to you and want to follow in your footsteps is a great feeling. Becoming a part of the community as a leader in a sports like Track and Field, Football, Basket Ball, Tennis, Volleyball, Cheerleading, Debate Clubs, teaches you to work and get along with others on school assignments , family projects, and be apart of many community events.…
All this accomplishments came because I as a leader consider my teammates as my family and kept the sport entertaining. I believed I was leading the team in a right direction because the runners were glad every day, they never complained about practicing every day. I made sure they like the team and my leadership because I want them to step up and talk to me whenever I am making mistakes, I did not want them to fear me. I believe leaders are formed to help others and that’s what I believe I have achieved with my…
Many of these athletes have worked harder than any of their other teammates, and are willing to train to the best of their abilities. Many of the coaches can see that these athletes are hard worker and will do whatever it take to be the best. “These students train all year round and eat, breathe, live and sleep the sport they play”(Keaundrey clark, Reporter) Also the coaches see that these players have great potential to make it in a professional league. They have proven that they will go above and beyond to make it in a professional league. These athletes have worked hard for this since they were little kids just barely old enough to play. When you are younger and are just learning to play a sport you are not very good at it but you work hard to become an amazing player. the Fab Five crammed into said locker room after a devastating title game loss. “There is never a more sensitive time to be with a team, and it was easy to picture Michigan's players' puffy eyes staring blankly ahead, if only to keep them from rolling.” (The Fab Five) Right there is shows is hard for a team to lose in an important game but they bounced back the next year.They don't give up when they lose a game or have a bad game they push through and come out strong waiting for the next time they can prove how good they really are.…
As a freshman, I made the varsity volleyball team. With this position came a lot of responsibility and pressure. My teammates always looked at me as the “baby”, but they expected me to play at the same level as the seniors. I learned how to deal with difficult personalities and I learned how to commit myself to a team and a sport. I also learned that I was a role model to other teammates and young volleyball players. Just like the Pink Ranger, people looked up to me and I tried to lead by example throughout my volleyball career.…
It was disappointing when some were not working as hard as others, but the fact that we were able to rise above that made the sport even better in the end.…
School sports programs teach athletes how to work as a team, athletics teach students how much dedication it will take to play a sport. School-funded sports teach the importance of teamwork and confidence. “More common, however, is that school athletics teach high school students morals and teamwork that are extremely beneficial in the “real world.” In being part of a team that goes through the same obstacles and challenges…
When our arch rivals James River entered our home gym on the evening of our senior night ceremony and last regular season game, I broke out. The team was demoralized after getting down 2-0 - but with the leadership of our captain and the play of myself, we pulled off a comeback for the ages. After hitting the game winning shot, my teammates and I stormed center court where we celebrated our great achievement. I had the game of my life. The feeling of seeing my hard work pay off in front of everyone who had supported us throughout the season was surreal. Trying things unfamiliar to ourselves may sometimes be hard, but the formula never fails. I have learned almost every try something new, you leave having a positive time, or if nothing else, a new perspective to reflect on. I will continue to pursue things unfamiliar to me, and look forward to seeing all of the opportunities they come…
When it came time for games, our team could not get a win. No matter how hard we tried we always seemed to fall short. I was not used to this feeling and yet somehow I felt it was teaching me patience. Even though things were not going the way I wanted, I was still having a fun experience. Throughout the entire season we continually struggled and lost every set that we played.…
It was a valuable learning experience to play with people I had never met, to acquire skills of the game from college coaches and to play on a higher level. It was an exciting week because the team on which I played won the championship. We were the best team at camp and our names were added to the list of The Best Samford Basketball Camp players. All of these basketball accomplishments eventually led to the day I decided that I wanted to play basketball for my high school team. I knew going into the tryouts that making the team was not going to be easy. I was confident that I had put many hours of practice time and effort into training for this very day, and I was prepared to give it my…
Gradually, as I got regular with practice, the game intertwined with my life. I wanted to practice more, get better at it, put myself into the game and give back to the team who encouraged me to be a part of them.…
