Before the Game

a day spent at practice that we are not preparing for this game. The feelings can never replace a time, a place, and a team. As the days went fast, and what seemed to be the night that almost felt like it wasn’t real. The bus ride seemed to determine where we would go from here. We all knew where the bus was taking us, Spring Grove placed 6th whereas Kingsland placed 11th. The game everyone wouldn’t miss, yes due to the loss of every game we seem to always tell ourselves that we were just…

getting on the Squash Varsity Team. Before I detail what I learned during my rather arduous journey, I’d like to give some background on my abilities in this game and why this was an appropriate choice for this particular assignment. I started playing squash when I was ten years old. This is actually a few years earlier than when most people, who go on to become professionals, start playing the game. Within a few months I become considerably good at the game (in my coach’s opinion) and started…

Pokémon. These small pocket monsters make players use all their skill, knowledge and even a little luck to capture the creatures. Which is why players deserve a XP Bonus when playing the game by a little trick when throwing a PokeBall. Pokeball throws can be pretty basic. It’s the effort to nail the Pokémon before it takes off in the bushes (or wherever it might be going) However, if you are willing to throw a Pokeball like a curveball and make it spin, then you will gain more XP. So how can…

soccer for most of my short life, giving up all other sports to concentrate on being a top player. In fact my whole family was committed to the game, so I guess you could say that I eat, sleep, and breathe soccer. I sure hoped that all my hard work would be translated into a big win that day. As I readied myself for the refs whistle to announce the start of the game, the hair on my neck stood straight up, and the adrenaline rushed through my body, filling every vein and artery. Transformed from…

watch. He wanted to go early to watch the 8th grade boys play. When we got there me and my dad had something else to go to. We knew it was going to get over before the games. When we got back to the High School we went to go find my brother and when we saw him he was with Juan. He is one of the better players on the team. In the second game, after they blew the first team away, they had to play the best team there. They were keeping up with them and even winning. Juan was hitting every 3 he…

Golf is a great game. Growing up I played a lot of sports in my younger days I was really good in baseball but as I got older I was introduced to golf in 2003. I have always thought that golf was a sport that was boring and slow but never watched or kept up with it. So, When I first played my first round of golf I than realized how tough the game really is, and how mentally strong you have to be. Golf is a game of numbers there’s so much thought into every shot its not just numbers but also…

only lost 6 out of 50 games in his college career for the Crimson Tide but was never able to win a national championship. Ozzie Newsome won a state championship in high school and was recruited by Paul Bryant to play for Alabama. He played in 48 straight games during his career in college and won three Southeast Conference Championships and he was a consensus All-America award. He finished his college career with 102 catches and 2,070 receiving yards. He revolutionized the game because of his…

This one day I told him if he could teach me how to play baseball and he said yes, If there was a time of my life that I have to write about it would be when I started to play baseball. The reason why I talk about this period of my life is because it made my life better in many ways. I was only 9 years old when I started getting interested into baseball. The main reason why I got interested in baseball was because a friend called Roberto was always batting balls in the field as far as he…

had only known that evening when I went to my brother’s basketball game. I didn’t know at that time what was going to happen. If someone could have just stopped me, I wouldn’t have gotten injured. * * * * It was another Saturday afternoon in Draper, Utah, it was snowing quite hard, it often snowed quite hard here. We had just gotten out of school for winter break the day before. Just an hour ago, I had won my basketball game, I was really happy because it had been our first win. I lay…

edge of their seats, engrossed in the game. I watched as the 5 girls moved fluently and cohesively together, passing and dribbling the ball between them. All making baskets and defending the other team as a whole unit rather than individual players. I watched the game closely, wedged between another girl on my team and my coach. I focused, paying close attention to any calls made and being sure to cheer on my team. I was completely absorbed in the game when my team mate to my right shook…
