Rick Hasen Swim Team Analysis

Decent Essays
In grade 11 I had the done sweater of the swim team, taking the reasonability to make the Rick Hasen swim team look good, In the grade 12 the swim was unorganized, there for i was able to receive captaincy of the team, which then allowed me to create proper swim sets, and teach individuals certain strokes, this then created a more organized team which then made the swimmers perform at a higher level at Ropsaa. Another example is, when I am coaching my students, I use proper techniques, and proper methods to train my swimmer, when doing so this allows my swimmers to perform better at swim meets. Creating a bond with the swimmers not only allowed me to be a good coach but also to be a friend for my swimmer, where they would open to talk to me about things that go on in there life.

    How to Get a Good Workout in the Pool Working out in the pool might not seem like the most effective way to slim down and shape up, but a pool-based workout burns a surprising number of calories, boosts your metabolism, works every muscle in your body, and improves your over-all fitness level. Working out in the swimming pool is so effective because water provides natural resistance – as it is almost 800 times denser than air – so each movement that you make while submerged in water works your muscles harder than doing similar cardio- or strength-based exercise on dry-land. Getting Started Most people think that working out in the pool consists of jumping in and swimming a few lengths, but getting a decent workout in the pool requires a bit more effort. Training in…

    As an athlete, I began my journey in sports full of dedication, fire, and hopeful anticipation of what I could do on the football field and on the basketball court. Much of my life has been devoted to extracurricular activities such as sports and the comelec, which taught me hard lessons in ethics and values that have made me who I am today.

    The swimming pools, in “The Swimmer”, represent Neddie’s journey down the road to addiction and the consequences that his dependency has on his life and body. Neddie’s state of mind as he begins his addiction is described, “He had an inexplicable contempt for men who did not hurl themselves into pools. […] To be embraced and sustained by the light green water was less a pleasure, it seemed, than the resumption of a natural condition,” (Cheever, 777). Neddie describes the feeling that drinking alcohol gives him as though he is returning to some raw state of being. The swimming pools themselves are a man-made attempt to provide nature within a suburban setting that is lacking.…

    Coaches have had an incredible impact in my life and have shaped who I am beginning with my first Little League coach and on through my current life as an adult. I was 7 years old when I met my first coach in Little League baseball and he taught me much more than the basics of baseball. Coach Lopez was a good man and a strong father figure not only to his son who was my teammate but to all of us. He taught us about respect and love for the game. He taught us to have confidence and respect for all aspects of the game including opponents and umpires.…

    In high school my most outstanding example of a time when I set an example as a student leader was my sophomore year in high school. My sophomore year of high school I was brought up to the varsity soccer team, the team that I was on was not extremely hard working and or dedicated. As a sophomore I was afraid to stand up and verbally tell the entire team that we need to step it up, or we are going to have a horrible season, so I decided to make my statement apparent by my actions. First, I started by always being the first one to every practice, putting pressure on my other teammates to do the same, in result everyone started to arrive to practice earlier. The second step I took was difficult since I was one of the youngest players and the…

    At some point in every person's life, they will have a special experience that will stick with them forever. One of my most memorable moments happened recently at a home volleyball game against Traverse City West. Approaching freshman volleyball season, the upperclassman spoke highly of the importance of overpowering TC West. As a ninth grader, I had the mindset that I would be playing for the freshmen team. I didn't think it really mattered what the outcome of the game would be, since we were only ninth graders.…

    My coaches and teammates helped me become the player I am today. By eighth grade I was a captain of all three of my sports, this is a big accomplishment for me, for I know my teammates look up to me, and it lets me know that all the hard work I put in payed off. Being a captain means so much more to me than just the title. I feel being a captain is like another position on the team, as a captain I believe that I should not only be setting a good example on how to play and how to show sportsmanship, but I should be helping my teammates with everything from managing homework during a day in which we have an away game or just knowing the personalities of all of my teammates and know how they want to learn the game. I want to be able to teach all of my teammates how to play the game the right way and how to show all of these games…
