Basketball terminology

I have a distinctive level of connection with three different sports teams such as the Florida State Seminoles football team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The level of connection I have with the Seminoles football team is an attraction because it is my favorite team. With respect to hedonism, I am attracted to the Seminoles football team because it is fun to watch games, entertaining, and fun to talk about the team. I also get excited from watching several players on…

In sixth hour crew class, the class is playing tchoukball and it's the most intensified game of tchoukball I have ever seen. It was the red team versus the green team, and when the game started the red team won the tip off. Tyler yelled “Cole I’m open!”, then Cole passed it to Tyler and he flung it on the rebounder like Aaron Rodgers throwing a football to Jordy Nelson, and the ball launched off the rebounder. The green team couldn’t catch it so the red team scored a point. Cole and Nick were…

When I was eleven years old, my volleyball journey began. I sat in the gym with my bubble- kneepads and old tennis shoes. Lacking in the fashion area, I sat in the gym with my shoes and kneepads. As my years of volleyball went on, it was time for me to hang up my nasty bubble-kneepads and tennis shoes and buy big-girl kneepads and volleyball shoes. As my love for volleyball grew throughout the years, it taught me strengths, weaknesses, and talents I never knew I had. Seventh and eighth grade…

Playing sports has always been my passion, I love everything about it. But one thing has always stood in my way; my size. I’ve never been the tallest person in a crowd and most of the time I am one of the shortest people in the room. I never imagined that this could hold me back from something that I love so much and could possibly make my dreams of playing collegiate softball unreachable. I first began playing softball at only five years old. I began playing locally but soon enough moved…

like bumper pool, foosball, and carpet ball. I got schooled in carpet ball a few times, and I won a few and lost a few of bumper pool. The some kid asked seth and I to go to the gym. We went to the gym and he and some other kids wanted to play basketball, so we play and I sucked at it. So then they changed to playing some type of game where you had to throw a ball and when you get hit you have to sit down. When we were playing I got the ball and threw it as hard as I could at Seth and…

Making history Winning this tournament meant everything for our team, I would had never imagined that we were capable of achieving such a goal. In 2014 the annual volleyball competition of Bilingual schools took place at “Escuela Internacional Sampedrana" in San Pedro Sula, Cortes. Our school took teams to compete in four categories in Pre Juvenile girls, Pre Juvenile boys, INFA girls and INFA boys which was my category. Our team had gone under a harsh training, but not only had us,…

Whereas one hero may seem infallible and gallant, the other can appear to be flawed and rebellious, as is the case of Sharon Laforge, the protagonist of Larry Colton’s novel, Counting Coup. In the book, the author follows around a ragtag high school basketball team whose bond transcends race and class as they set out to complete what is to be Laforge’s swan song. As the season goes on, the reader continues to learn about Sharon and how she manages the trials and tribulations she faces both on…

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 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…
