My father then asked if he had any advice for me in which randy replied. “Cardio, Cardio, Cardio.”
You can hit harder, move faster, be stronger but if you run out of gas, none of it matters.

    It was springtime during the year of 2012, I was just about to start my summer. I was looking on the internet for sports to do in Kaneland, because I wanted to compete at a higher level. But I was not always comfortable with playing on a travel baseball team, but I knew this could be a great opportunity for me, so I took a risk and after all it, payed off. I asked “Dad would you think I would be able to compete and play on the travel baseball team” He smiled “Yes, but one thing I learned when I was young and playing baseball is; it is a game of mistakes, and the only way you can succeed is if you practice over and over to improve.”…

    Truly, the only things that separated Rocky’s training from mine were sport, steps, and Survivor. Malcolm Gladwell’s bestselling book posits that ten thousand hours of practice are necessary to become an expert at something, and I may well have spent ten thousand hours studying for Presidents. By the time Nationals rolled around, I was supremely prepared. No fun fact caught me unawares, no cabinet secretary escaped my grasp: My hard work was paying off. And, sure enough, it…

    The list could go on and on about what is wrong with high school sports in this generation. It starts when they’re young, parent coaches who only qualify because they played the specific sport when they were younger. That is brought into high school, with their child playing the same sport they “coach”, not getting to experience anything other than what their parent’s knowledge and what they could tell them. I’m not saying all high school athletes who are coached by their parents aren’t going to get any better, but I am saying that if you are going to hire a coach for a program, make sure they are more qualified than just being a parent in the district or having a little playing experience. High school is the preparation stage for college, both academically and athletically.…

    When I was little my dad always used to use the tv to watch the hockey games, he’d be cheering for goals and yelling at the referees, and I would always be so confused. “What are they doing?” i’d ask my dad. He’d only reply with, “playing hockey,” and then he’d go back to the game. I never understood why he was so into the game until I got older and ended up watching it next to him.…

    When I look back, I see times when I could’ve made better choices and other times that I wouldn’t change a bit. Playing softball with MJBSA is a choice I wouldn’t want to change. I’ll admit there were times when I wished the umpires had a better understanding of the rules or the other team would tone down the drama but overall MJBSA and my coaches did a great job. Keeping in mind the past, I eagerly look forward to the future. Continuing my education by getting a degree is important to me because it will give me experience that I wouldn’t get otherwise.…

    The aforementioned training regime was a necessary price to pay if I ever hoped to improve and outperform peers, and I stayed dedicated to it from the beginning. Because of this, I grew accustomed to the ring of the victory bell and the satisfying validation that came from it.

At the age of sixteen my athletic improvement became halted without explanation in a sport in which the sole purpose is to outperform the athlete you had been in the race before.…

    It was a brisk fall evening with the sun just about to set behind a hill. I was 10 years old, playing in my third season of football, and my first ever game under the bright lights surrounding the high school stadium. The time had finally come, the lights had been on and warming up for several minutes, I was going to play a game under the lights on the high school field. My experiences that night were not forgotten, but today I couldn’t even tell you if we won the game that night.
