High school athletics have impacted every aspect of my life, including my overall perception of myself. Personally, my entire high school career has been dedicated to cheerleading. Participating in this sport all four years of high school has provided me with opportunities to meet new people and improved leadership skills.

There are mixed attitudes towards the teams, players and coaches that you would not see at any other school. But I like to call them obstacles and challenges.…

I have been here before, and each time the visits have been very uncomfortable. I love nothing more than to step on the ball field, and smell the fresh cut grass, and my kangaroo skin catchers glove. This ball field was different, for many different reasons. Playing baseball against Mountain Valley was always fun, because we always won.…

It’s that time of year, the leaves are starting to turn and the weather is still scorching hot outside. Fall has finally arrived and I’m back at school for another semester. Fall baseball has just begun and it’s time for the first scrimmage. I walk out of the locker room and put my hands over my laces, and step out on the concrete and hear that first crack of the spike hitting the ground. I head to the best spot on the field the third base dugout.…
Sports at renbrook have helped me gain many characteristics that benefit me everyday. Sports have made me the person I am today. In sixth grade I started three sports, football, hockey, and lacrosse. I was new to everyone of the sports, but I worked hard and I was able to pick them all up fast. At first I wasn’t sure I would ever make a varsity, and I didn’t know why playing sports was so important.…
I was the first Inuk to make it to the big leagues. My drive, my determination and my style of play is really how I made it to the NHL. I began my career young, playing hockey with my older brother Terence and all his friends. I always had to earn my spot when I played with them, if they were playing body cantact, I was too.
