Texas A&M University-Kingsville recently held an event called Rec’N Tech, promoting exercise and iTech services. The event was held in the Student Recreation Center and was extremely fun! They had several stations set up throughout the gym which included the following activities: Just Dance, a bean bag toss, around the world basketball, an iTech information table, running laps, Angry Birds, and a brains versus brawn test. Each event was worth a certain amount of points. Thus the more activities the student participated in, the more points they could accumulate.…
Many people find themselves asking if participation trophies are even important or not, or if we should even have them in general. Well we should, for reasons that might have been overlooked. Participation trophies show a great significance consisting of commitment and dedication, they remind one of an experience or the friendships they made, and they give more meaning than you would think to a young child learning self-confidence. Commitment and and dedication show the growth of responsibility and a participation trophy shows just this. Richard Greenberg says this, “Participation trophies mark the fact that these kids kept a commitment and showed up to the games.”…
Participation Trophies The two differences that are driving these authors apart are their values and priorities. They both speak of the same argument of whether or not children should receive participation trophies. I agree with Lisa Heffernan’s argument because of the different effects a participation trophy can have on children. Can participation trophies make it hard for children to differentiate the accomplishments that deserve positive reinforcements or can the trophies teach a lesson about commitment?…
Trimesters at USMMA This was my second last trimester in Kings Point. Once again my biggest concern during this trimester were the academics. I was still part of the Kings Point Eagle Scouts Association and the Kings Point Indoor Soccer Club. M/N Ong…
In today's society, every kid that plays a sport gets a trophy for just showing up and that is not right. There is more meaning behind a trophy for a kid than what most people think. Getting a first place trophy is a better feeling than getting a participation trophy. Kids should be able to go home and celebrate their first place trophies and realize they accomplished something rather than getting a participation trophy for just being out there.…

The program provides financial support for tuition and fees, books, and room and board in the freshman year and tuition and fees, social support and mentoring. Once accepted into the groups program, admitted students must live on campus for six weeks the summer before freshman year and take part in a rigorous college “boot camp” to give them a taste of college life.

Participation Ribbons? What happened to the days when first place was a huge accomplishment; when trophies were only given to the first place finisher, and second, and third places were lucky to get a ribbon? In our world today, there are many opportunities given to win without really deserving it. One may ask, “How does this hinder us as a people?” Winning without deserving it hinders people because of the following three reasons: it allows failure to be okay, makes them feel as though they are special, and lowers competitiveness.…
Trophies are a big deal. They are a solid representation that a person completed this or excelled in that. For most people, the physical reminder is the key piece to the memory. People can't remember the event without reminiscing over the trophy. The trophy is a way to show off an accomplishment without looking like a person is over exaggerating the moment.…
I practiced twice a week for two hours. During each practice there was about five to six different activities we worked on. This included stretching, tumbling, bars, balance beam and my favorite, trampoline. There was never a dull moment in the gym.…
The health behavior that I am choosing to modify is to increase the time I spend engaging in physical activity, daily. In doing so I plan to monitor the days out of the week and amount of time per day that I will engage in a form of exercise. As a first course of action, I am setting a realistic goal. I want to engage in physical activities for a minimum of 30 minutes per day. One of steps of the health behavior model is perceived susceptibility, which means understanding my attitude regarding how likely I am to engage in physical activity.…

The facility is also closed on Sundays. Although this is a weakness, it is easy to work in the workouts into the schedule since the workouts are designed to only last about an hour. Both the athlete and the strength and conditioning coach however have to be available either in the morning or the evening. One more weakness includes not having a huge open place, or expensive equipment for VO2 Max for aerobic testing. However we can perofrom aerobic tests at a neighbourhood park as a field test.…
