Grow Through What You Go Through Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player to ever live. However, his climb to the top was not all rainbows and sunshine. During his sophomore year in high school he was cut from his high school team because he was too short. He cried in his room for the rest of the day. Eventually he picked himself up, worked harder than everyone else, and the rest is history. Every failure teaches a valuable lesson. So, it can be viewed as virtually a necessity for both…

The most recent college sporting event I have attended is the 2017 PAC 12 Men’s Basketball Tournament, which is the annual concluding tournament for the NCAA college basketball in the PAC 12 Conference. The dates for this four day tournament were March 8-11, 2017, the times varied for different sessions and rounds with the earliest game starting at 12pm PT and the latest game starting at 8:30pm PT. The first round and quarterfinal round both consisted of four games each, while the semifinal…

I was waiting for the match ahead of me to be over. I hear the loud whistle come from the match and I walk over to the head table to check in. Butterflies were flying around my stomach. The people at the table hand me my band and I jog over to my coach, and see my opponent, the state champ. I put my green band on as my coach says “All you have to do is win the match and we win the duel.” That made my nerves go from 100 to 1,000. I walk to the center of the matt, and the ref walks over to us…

If Steve Harvey had asked me to tell him my story, I would tell him about my determination and leadership. I came from a small private school and throughout my years of sports, I fell in love with volleyball. If I had walked into tryouts without putting in any of the work I had put in, I wouldn't have made it. I worked five days a week for at least three hours whether it be private lessons at nine at night or open gyms early in the morning. While doing this I managed volunteering at a summer…

Because he had a different body appearance and he thought he couldn't do stuff but he actually work hard and his dreams came true. He finally wanted to be like everybody else. On the video of the kid with autism that plays basketball. He finally got to play for his basketball team and he made shots without missing them to make his team win. The kid worked and practiced hard on what he wanted to do and it came true. Just because there's something wrong with your body doesn't mean you can't do…

Fall ball is a great opportunity for lacrosse coaching staffs to assess their team's strengths and weaknesses and see which underclassmen are ready to take on a bigger role. It is also a great opportunity for teams to build the camaraderie and communication skills that will be necessary for teams to have a successful season and a deep run in the playoffs come Memorial Day. While Fall Ball wins and losses shouldn't be taken too seriously, the scrimmages can be fans' and commentators' first…

Talton Price Eng lll. Ms. Q One can not simply discuss the 1920s without mentioning the boxing phenom, Jack Dempsey. He alone became the prototype for all the future superstar athletes that followed. Even other big-time sport enthusiasts’ could not compare to his popularity. Jack Dempsey was significantly important to the 1920s on the grounds that he made sporting events fashionable and knocking out contenders breathtaking. Sporting events expanded and thrived throughout the 1920s due to the…

“You can do it, Jack!” Sam said loudly. But Jack fell into the sand pit again. He couldn’t do it and honestly didn’t think he would ever be able to do it. Crossing the sand pit on the monkey bars was just too hard for him. Jack had been trying to make it across the sand pit on the monkey bars since first grade. Back then he couldn’t even reach the bars. By second grade he could reach them but couldn’t hold on. In third and fourth grade he mostly just hung on the first bar without going…

To most people, football is just a game. To me, it so much more. I started playing tackle football at the age of five and I honestly cannot remember life without it. Throughout my football career, I have earned many honors such as team captain and most valuable player. I was also recognized as being only one of five students in my school's history to win three consecutive district championships. There have been innumerable victories, touchdowns, tackles, and celebrations. However, none of these…

Big, bland, and plan, the MSGA gym had to have at least 50 people in it. Yet I was still Janine's Target. My friend and I were playing basketball together. We let her in the game just to be nice. “I’ve made a team before but i got kicked off because I was too violent.”, my friends and I looked back and forth at each other “Yeah I ushed people a lot.”, Janine Says. My eyes got as wide as saucers when she said that. The game start and hurricane Janine starts brewing. Her first strike was at tip…
