Personal Narrative: NJ Stallions

Decent Essays
Soon enough I changed to a better club called NJ Stallions and they offer to pay more than half of the tuition for me. My parents and I were so happy to hear this because the tuition to play for the club was 2,500 per year and I only had to pay 700 which included the uniform . While I was in that club doors started to open up for me . For example in that club I got called to go to a national odp camp in Florida which is highly selected players only. Also while I was at the camp I got name into the national odp select team which is only given to 11 players in the whole camp. After three years in NJ Stallions I developed as a player I decided to tryout for an academy team which were kinda far from where I lived.

    This team showed great adversity yesterday. Now I know this game should not have been as close as it was and that needs to be fixed. But for this young Buccaneers team to come out and surrender a two score lead and still overcome adversity is an impressive feat and shows growth with this Bucs team. So many times in the past, we have watched our Bucs slowly self destruct and lose big leads and never get them back. Yes the Bucs should have blown them out, yes the Bucs still suffer from the kicking blues (as of yesterday), yes the Bucs didn't get a sack against a lackluster Giants offensive lineman.…

    I started playing baseball when I was 7 years old and at that time I was actually playing T-Ball. For awhile I played baseball for a place called Twin City. While I was at Twin City I had mostly played the second base position. Twin City was an alright organization because they didn't have players with the best attitudes. Those players with not so good attitudes affected our teams ability to win.…

    Accountability, unity, and intentionality are fundamental elements of a successful team. All three of these elements are interdependent on each other, yet are significant on their own. For these elements to work, each member of a team must depend on each other’s contribution, but not rely on one member to do all the work. As well, an intentional goal must be set for all members to unify the same mentality. In my own experience with the Buckeye Twirl baton team, we fail to perform as a team and work as individuals.…
