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.…
“Jadyn, you look like you need to wrestle!” , My Dad would yell before he would grab me a tickle me. “Come on #2! Hit the ball hard!” , He’d yell before I would serve.…
Quitting the sport I loved had made me realize that I need to start setting more goals for myself. Before my injury, my goals were mostly just about gymnastics. Now I have to set different goals in real life, which is for the better since I cannot do gymnastics forever. Before my injury gymnastics was all I thought about and I also did much better in school, but I was also more stressed. Gymnastics has taught me so much, especially patience which is why I did so well in school.…
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.…
Working closely with teachers and advisors, my academic transcript—both in terms of course selection and grades—made strides as I now understood my true potential. My connections with family and peers strengthened through the unbreakable bonds of love and friendship. Through a common passion, I have been exposed to the most diverse and fascinating group of individuals—all with their own two cents on life—many of whom to this day remain my closest friends. Never again would I determine my worth based upon how I stacked against others—my happiness came from within. Weightlifting had revealed a new way of life.…
James I’m serious. When I’m at parties or events, I rarely crack jokes. I know when I was a child we used to have these baseball cards that would come with gum and the cards would have all the baseball player’s stats, which people would keep and make collectables. I’m not too familiar with the culture of England being that I stay in United States, but I researched and found that Rugby was a very popular sport there and one of the most popular treats there are cookie biscuits, so I was thinking if you can bring them together, it would target a market with adults and children.…
I walked into that gym on the first day of practice after 10 years of soccer. I was nervous and didn’t know anyone. This was all brand new to me. I thought I was always going to stick with soccer. Cheerleading was something I never thought I would be interested in but decided to give it a try.…
I was adamant not to waste another year of three to seven o'clock practices and grueling work on wrestling. I was done. I tried, I did poorly, I didn't quit until the end. My goal had been accomplished. Fortunately, my coach would have none of it.…
Imagine if you could take anyone to dinner--living or dead. Who would you choose? The people I'd like to take to dinner are John Cena, my biological father, and my stepdad, because my "dads" need to agree on an issue and John Cena is there just in case they get rowdy. John Cena is one of the well-known wrestlers whose famous saying is, "You can't see me!" This dinner would allow me to ask him a few questions, such as, "Why can't many people see you?"…
The bright light shone on the smooth golden floor of the rowdy gymnasium. I ran towards the hoop dribbling the ball until I shot it into the air. The ball sailed in the air as an orange streak and landed in the basket, hanging there for a split second before falling to the ground with a resounding boom. The gymnasium instantly erupted with cheers. I decided to take a break so I headed towards the locker room.…
I believe in boxing because boxing is a hard sport that takes a lot of dedication and a lot of time to do things right. But not everyone likes boxing because you get hurt a lot and tired, but I like and it's my favorite sport and i enjoy doing it. Boxing can sometimes get to really hard because the coach is yelling at and you have to get everything right or else you’ll get it hit in the face when in the ring with someone.…
When i was 5 years old I was diagnosed with Tourettes's. The neurologist at Phoenix Children's Hospital told my mom that getting me involved in a sport would help reduce my ticks, as it would require more focus. Man, my mom jumped right into the task. Before I knew it she had me signed up for wrestling. I knew nothing about the sport, it was just the first one starting.…
“Blood, sweat, and chalk; never tears.” These words have guided my gymnastics career throughout high school. Pretty much starting from the beginning, I had to re-learn many skills and tricks that I had lost after quitting gymnastics for dance lessons in fifth grade instead of joining the competitive team. I lived for gymnastics and I still do. Walking into the gym always boosts my mood and gives me a rush of determination.…
The topic that I have chosen to write about is my passion for bodybuilding. I started lifting when I was 17 years old. Before that I was not even aware what a gym was. I decided to start working out because of confidence issues and self-worth. I had relationship issues and I had to stay busy and better myself.…
