Why Be On a Fitness Team? I am often asked, “why be on a fitness team, when this is an individual sport?”. I agree, this is an individual sport! When it comes down to show time, it is you, and you alone that is standing on that stage in 6 inch heels wearing the tiniest swimsuit decently possible. You are up there putting yourself, and your body on the line.…

Playing sports all my life, I’ve embodied many qualities like leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Being an athlete, you learn at a young age what teamwork is. I started playing basketball at a young age and being in that team environment all my life, you learn real quick the value of teamwork. Playing a game that involves around ball movement, player communication on the court, and bringing others up when they’re down, were definitely defining moments of what taught me teamwork. I’ve also learned teamwork skills, helping with school activities.…
First, let’s talk about Abby Payne from Lake Travis HS, her team philosophy is Pride, Passion, and Discipline. I fully agree with her philosophy and seeing that’s how my high school team was run and how I plan on running my team one day. I also somewhat with her practice schedule 3 days a week at 7:30am and 2 at 7:00am with 2 days of tutoring for the team to see teachers. I agree and disagree with this because I feel like if you’re going to allow your team 2 practices at 7:30am the team should be almost ready to perform for the football game that week. I also agree with her worst problem with her team being that that parents are either too involved or not involved enough.…
“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen” (Michael Jordan). Teams consist of multiple roles including leaders, starters, and supporters who all contribute and are vital to the success of the team. Athletes who are willing to put in extra time and effort earn main roles on the team. Meanwhile, positive teammates who may not be as athletically gifted or old enough to play in a starring position, make the team to fulfill a supporting role throughout the season. The starters, main players, supporters, and even bench warmers are important to the success of the team.…
Team sports are so important because they bring back those skills that often children do not pick up on. Being a team player is a skill that will even be useful in work forces once their athletic career is over. A medal earned in softball is won by an entire team working together in order to achieve the same goal. When one person struggles, the whole team does and the same goes for when someone does…
Playing on a team can have pros and cons. I have experience on this since I’m in a baseball team. There is people of different attitudes selfish, helpful, caring, etc. Mostly when a game is in a bad situation. People get stressed out, they get disappointed to themselves, causing disruption on the team.…
To be a part of the Wolfpack means much more than just being an athlete. The groups and organizations that we’ve become accustomed to in our day to day life - in this case, a sports team - can be explained from a different perspective – a sociological point of view. Hierarchy, culture, norms and socialization processes are all major elements that make up the Wolfpack’s identity. When it comes to the women’s soccer team at TRU, there is a lot more behind that iconic wolf logo displayed around campus than meets the eye.…
The present text explores the relationship between cohesion and team sports, specifically as demonstrated in the movie Remember the Titans (2000). Cohesion can be described as either task cohesion, in which the individual is interested in fulfilling the goals of the team, or social cohesion in which interpersonal relationships are made within a group. The process of team building is described as four stages; forming, storming, norming and performing. Several factors affecting cohesion are explored including group size, team communication, homogeneity, distinctiveness and leadership behaviours. Finally, the cohesion-performance relationship is analyzed in sport situations to conclude that there is a positive, circular relationship between the…

I was so convinced that I wanted to major I physical therapy, but I changed my intended major to Pre-PA. When I was applying to colleges, I did not have my “reacher” school. I just applied to college and universities where I thought that I had a legitimate shot of being accepted to. Nonetheless, I did not want to apply to Marywood.…

Since we were given the freedom to choose our own teammates to form groups of five, we generally chose to team up with our friends. This resulted in a greater camaraderie within the group. The camaraderie among teammates made us felt that we are all part of the group and each of us held responsibility towards the group. Owing to the mutual understanding between teammates, we got to share and consider each other’s thoughts as well as made important decisions together which reduced a great deal of problems and conflicts within the group.…
