On 05/12/17 at 6:48pm, I Deputy Warden N. Christian was dispatched to the area of W 5th Ave and Highland St on a dog at large, patrol only. I arrived in the area and saw a unknown male and female playing with a white medium mix dog and a boxer in a field. I stopped and exited my vehicle and approached the individuals. They indicated that they are the ones that called about the boxer running loose. I returned to my vehicle and retrieved my snare pole and doggie treats.…
I never thought that I would ever end up being a Warrior Wrestler at Henry Sibley High School. It all started with one of my brothers wrestling for the High School. His head coach was close with my brother so he also knew me. He was and still is an social studies teacher at Heritage Middle school which is connected in the School district of 197. Every morning at Heritage he would see me and always call me by my brothers name and always bug me about wrestling and trying out for it.…
It was a cool, dry morning when the team rounded up. Our coach had notified the team that we were in risk of elimination. The faces of my teammates were as hopeless a rose in a desert. As a captain, I spoke out and tried to lift our spirits with a speech. Baseball is such an unpredictable sport, I said.…
Chris Linde stated “My job as an athletic trainer is to prevent injuries as much as possible. I also support with strengthening and conditioning, guidance in nutrition and sleeping, and I also make sure the playing area is safe”. When he was young, he always adored being around the athletic trainer. Subsequently being pushed to his limits and fighting through the pain, there was always someone to care for his aches, and pains. She gave him opinions on what to do when he was alone to prevent fatigue, and serious injuries that would prevent him from playing to his fullest potential or limit him from achieving his goals.…

You may only be at a ball park to witness a no-hitter once in your entire life, if ever. But to be on the team that is throwing one, an even rarer accomplishment. The possibility of being the pitcher to actually throw the no-hitter itself, almost the rarest feat in all of baseball. Excitement, adrenaline, rushed through me every time I threw the ball to home plate, and knowing that I was one pitch close to keeping the opposing team hitless. While playing some may think you feel the pressure of the game; however in my experience I felt stress free, which left my mind to only think about what pitch to throw next.…
An Athlete’s Worst Nightmare Imagine you are going along playing the sport you love, when all of a sudden you hear a pop, your knee gives out, and you are on the ground in pain. This happened to me not once, but twice. After going to the doctor both times, they figured out I tore my ACL.…
Boxing, Opportunities, and the American Dream Rocky is considered an American classic by many, and for obvious reasons. Rocky is not only a story about boxing, but a story about a man who doesn’t have much in his life, but manages to rise up to the top. It’s a rags-to-riches story; an example of how anyone can achieve the American Dream. Sylvester Stallone, who not only acted and directed this feature film, but wrote the screenplay for this film, stated that this film in it of itself is the American Dream.…
Growing up I never liked playing sports with all of the other kids in my grade. It was always fun but, I never like the fact that the coaches made you look stupid if you made one small mistake. Even though I didn’t like the coaches, I still tried every sport that was offered to me. I played baseball,basketball and football growing up.…
Wrestling Changed My Life Seventh grade was the most exciting school year I have experienced, because I made the Wrestling Team. However, I was not expecting this outcome, because prior my triumph, I was being declined the opportunity to participate in an extracurricular activity. Immediately after I was introduced to the sport of wrestling, my thoughts were flooded with the goal of becoming a wrestler. Unfortunately, I knew my Mom would never agree to let me wrestle, and the moment I asked for her consent, she declined my request. However, I desired to be a part of the wresting squad, so I knew the only way I could be a member was to convince my Mom I deserved the chance to be on the Wrestling team.…
Soccer isn't just sport. It’s a lifestyle. Without soccer, I don't know where I would be today. The freshly mowed green grass underneath my cleats, the earthy smell of the dirt filling my nose, the pure, clean air all around engulfs me in its embrace. The sun rising in the horizon, our parents cheering on the sidelines, the blow of a whistle.…
Personal Narrative Have you ever wanted to try a new sport? Soccer, football, and basketball are all fun, but I wanted to do something new. I came across an opportunity to try fencing and thought that it might be interesting. On my first day, when I walked into the building, I noticed the huge amount of space and heard the coaches yell, “Get ready to fence!”. I could hear the sound from the foils scraping against each other, and echoing throughout the room.…
“His name is Mitchell, but we call him Mitch-Hell,” my mom joked. The kid mustered a laugh, but his face did not show the same impression. There were two big traditions for my family during the summer months. We would go on vacation together to a little beach town in Florida called Rosemary Beach. The second tradition was a game that we created ourselves.…
The discourse community for wrestling is different from most that I have heard. It could be similar to most high school sports because every high school has their own way of saying things. This Community differs from other communities because if you have never heard a person who wrestles talk about it or have never wrestled yourself, it can get very confusing. Wrestling is different because most terms are not heard in every day language. The moves are different for every team, although every move has a universal name that everyone knows it by.…
