Announcer

On October 11, 2015 I observed a college soccer game at Western State Colorado University; Western against Colorado Mesa University (Mavericks). However this time instead of just watched the event for entertainment, I had the opportunity to look at the athlete's mental game and other factors that composed the competition. Upon arrival of the game you could already feel that it was a not kick ball at the park. These women meant serious business, they had the music turned up and they were…

years (Lefton 2015). In 2014, the NFL and Microsoft signed an agreement worth $400 million over 5 years under the condition that players and coaches would utilize their Microsoft Surface tablets on the sideline. The campaign started out rough when announcers began calling them iPads, but now it seems like the deal has worked well in both businesses favor (Gaines 2014). In 2011, the NFL extended their deal with Pepsi for another 11 years. The deal was worth 2.3 billion dollars and is the…

Unconsciously Slavery Slavery, which was based on racial discrimination and racial prejudice, has been rooted out from the United States of America in the early years of the nineteenth century. However, it seems that this racial discrimination, prejudice and the element of slavery has been entrenched into the minds of the general public. The general public still reminds the black people that they are from the inferior race and they are less beautiful and stunning than the other race of the…

anxiety filled my heart and mind because I knew this was our final tournament, as we threw on our uniforms I knew that all the hard work that my peers and I have put on the field and off have prepared us for this moment. “La Puente High School” the announcer stated “you are now entering championship territory, the judges are ready”. In this moment I knew that Mr. Herrera taught us time management for a reason. Without this skill that many people should know I wouldn’t have been on that field…

The Charlotte area was not supposed to get hit until later on Christmas night or into the next morning. I held my breath for a short moment while the announcer spoke, but soon realized we were in the clear, and as long as we were at the airport by 4:00 p.m. for our 6:00 p.m. flight, we were good to go, so we quickly resumed our singing contest, and continued on toward Abby and Concord. Dinner was everything…

carbine out of my gun bag and set it on the table to put the battery inside of it. Then I took out my magazines out of my vest to fill up for the first game. We sat in the debriefing room which was the same room with all the tables waiting for the announcer to come out and tell us what game mode we were going to play. After about thirty minutes of waiting he came out and told us what the first…

school he got up and took a shower and started to get ready. After his shower he went downstairs greeted his mom and said Mom you don 't have to come to the game today. Tristen’s mom said why would i not come to your game.. Tristen said well the stupid coach here never really puts me in any games anyway. Tristen’s mom said well i will have a talk with that coach then and Tristen said don 't sweat it i work my butt off in practice and i have had a talk with him but it never seems to work for me…

“Shooter, shooter, she’s a shooter!!” vigorously shouted the opposing coach who wore an orange hat that clashed with his increasingly reddening face. I grinned and caught the rotating, leathery ball my teammate passed to me. Once it reached my fingers, everything became automatic. Not a single thought crossed my mind after my eyes focused on the red hook at the back of the rim. My right arm launched the ball upward, arching towards the basket. It was a movement I had practiced thousands of times…

We all woke up at dawn and it was slightly miserable. Fifteen of us stayed in the craft shack until 3am the night before because the campers were officially gone and we knew that the next morning was our last. The melancholy air surrounded us until we arrived at breakfast to see a buffet of waffles, pancakes, eggs and all the other breakfast foods imaginable (including beans and toast for the all the unique british counselors). Together, we all sat and ate with cheer as we attempted to avoid…

I was standing by the race track, the cars flew by at incredible speed. The announcer said the blue bullet in lane 4 won the race. The crowd was applauding and cheering. That was the end of that pinewood derby, now we wait for all the results and then the trophies. My Dad, my brother and I have been involved in a group at our church called Christian Service Brigade or CSB for short. It is a group that gets together once a week and does things similar to the boy scouts. One of these things is…
