Personal Narrative: My Crucial Decision In My Hockey Career
During summer I was faced with a crucial decision in my hockey career: whether I should continue playing for my high school or make the jump to a junior league. I ultimately decided to play for the junior hockey team, but that left me to tell my high school coach, who I’m sure anticipated that I, his captain, would be returning next year. Fearing the worst, I approached Coach Gerry to break the news to him. He was disappointed and insisted I was making the wrong decision; he even invited himself to my house to discuss the ordeal with my family, but I respectfully stuck with my decision.
I could not have mustered up the courage to tell my coach I wasn’t going to play on his team anymore without the advice of my parents. They knew it would not

    Personal Narrative-Playing Ice Hockey

    Playing Ice Hockey was a burning passion of mine. It all started in the cold and dense locker room. Practice had just finished up and we were inside the locker room getting undressed. I was a forward on the team and was only ten years old. The team goalie was sick and was not going to be able to make our game the next day. Coach asked “Is anyone willing to play goalie for our game?” and I, the young ten year old boy I was; was the first person to quickly respond saying “I will!” Playing goalie was destined for me, I was a star and very talented.…

    Personal Narrative: To Be A True Athlete

    To express his believe about stretching one’s limit, the great Guy Finley had once stated, “The limit of your present understanding is not the limit of your possibilities.” Inspired by his quote, I, Giang Pham, believe that I would be a valuable member of McGarvin’s Academic Pentathlon team. Based on my personal knowledge of Pentathlon, I have first-handedly experience the soul of a Pentathlete through various study sessions at Ethan Allen. Because of this, I have developed a deep insight of the components necessary to be a true Pentathlete. In addition to having first-hand experience, I also have extremely high expectations for both myself and other students, for it is essential in my academic growth. With this, one like myself could ultimately…

    Personal Narrative: My Life As A Baseball Player

    In baseball there is an enigma of a pitch called the knuckle ball, which is very difficult for batters to hit because the the ball moves unpredictably in different directions. Often time it feels like life is like trying to hit a home-run off a knuckle ball. When this happens, When life throws us something unexpected we must learn to adapt and respond appropriately..

    Personal Narrative: My Goals In The MLB

    As a kid, I always wanted to play professional baseball and live up to my dream to play in the MLB. I had high expectations for myself, and I was really determined to achieve my goal and live a successful life. I was convinced for a long time that playing baseball was the right choice for me, but that has changed over some time.

    Personal Narrative: How Baseball Changed My Life

    The part of my life I am about to recount was during the summer of 2014 when I was the starting pitcher and third hitter for the Drexel Hill Little League tournament team. Now, baseball is america’s pastime and in my words is the greatest sport on god's green earth. A little background on the sport is it’s a game of nines. Nine starting players on each team try to score as many runs in nine inning by hitting a nine inch baseball coming in at an average speed of ninety miles per hour. This leaves the batter with about .16 Seconds to react to the pitch and hit it with all their power with a bat about 36 inches long and 2.75 Inches in diameter. I was first introduced to the sport when I was only seven years old and my father, who is also a huge…

    When I was 4 years old, I started playing T-Ball and I became obsessed with the sport. I played every summer from 4 years old until I started playing school ball. I loved the sport so much, I played travel ball every summer and fall. My goal was to play college baseball after graduating high school. I quit all other sports so I could train year around on baseball. My senior year I was chosen to take part in the Under Armour Baseball Tournament in Bradenton, Florida.

    At the end of the day, I ended up telling my parents that I wanted to continue playing baseball. All of this thinking made me realize that thinking before acting will usually end up in happy and good decision. Without all of this thought, I might of quit baseball, and been an introvert. Playing baseball really helps me let off some steam, so I can focus on the present and the future instead of thinking about the past and holding a grudge on someone. We should all think about decisions thoroughly so we can be happy, which will lead to being happy and having…

    Personal Narrative: My Hockey Experience

    When I first came to Northwood, I felt uncomfortable with the language because it’s not my first. I did not know anyone or know anything really about the school. I knew nothing about the hockey program, academics, friends, coaches, teachers, life style, etc. When I first got into my room, I thought to myself, “ oh my god, this is going to be my room for the whole year…, I don't know anyone and have any idea what anyone is like.. I’m going to be in my room for most of the year”. I felt so out of place being here for the first few days, and really thought I made a mistake coming to Northwood. Personally, I was really worried and concerned about the hockey at first, because not much was mentioned and we didn’t practice for the first two weeks. I was told of how good this program is and how awesome it’s going to be to play here. But at first nothing was said about it. I was relying heavily on making friends and socializing with the boys that would be on my hockey team for this year. But at first, I was really worried about that. I felt alienated from everyone who was at the school previously and from everyone who had friends. It was a feeling i've never felt before. I’ve always been that guy that has a lot of friends and always am the one to have the decision, if I want to be with my friends or if I just want to spend some time for myself. But it was different at the…

    Lacrosse Experience

    Our next spring lacrosse season I worked twice as hard, I was in my sophomore year of high school and was determined to prove to the coaches that I was ready for varsity. Unfortunately, the coach and I didn't see eye to eye. She said, " Katlyn, I'm proud of how well you improved this year, but I believe you need one more year to improve more. I think you should stay on junior varsity and be a leader to the younger girls because you have stronger skills." I was devastated; my heart was broken. However, I channeled all these emotions and got fired up for the season to prove the coach wrong. I became the leading scorer and proved to the coach that I was varsity material. I understand now my coach's…
