Death of Jay Adams, and His Impression on Skateboarding. This person impacted me by changing skateboarding into something completely new and making me interested in skating as a sport rather than just to ride around. Born in Los Angeles, California on February 3, 1961, Jay “Jay Boy” Adams would soon become an extremely important figure in skateboarding. He grew up on a surfboard in a time period where skateboarding was just beginning to develop. Adams and his friends quickly joined the Zephyr…

reminds me of my passion for figure skating. Kirsten began acting before the plague, but she stays acting afterwards, and her entire life ends up revolving around it, as she is a member of the Travelling Symphony, a group of actors and musicians who put on Shakespearean plays as they travel across the country. Though Kirsten gave up her whole life for acting, I can relate to the passion she must have for it. I gave up most other sports and a lot of my free time for figure skating. I was pretty…

for the rest of my childhood life. I had tried soccer, basketball, flag football, baseball but nothing really clicked for me. That is until my cousin had a birthday party at an ice skating rink. I had never really skated too much before and I never thought too much of it. However, it was something about that day skating that introduced me to ice hockey to me. I instantly knew that was the sport I wanted to play and that night, I told my mom just that. If my cousin hadn’t chosen to have a…

am and I would wake up really early to practice before school. I would then go to school and practice again after school then I would go home and start on my homework. I was not like an A student but I was able to keep my grades in the B range. Skating was pretty much my life, it was always very hard for me when we had to do group assignments. I really never…

told anyone about my skating. I put on my favorite shirt which was bright pink with neon green polka dots all over paired with my favorite pair of of blue ripped at the knee jeans. I also put my hair into two braids that my grandma taught me how to do after one of our silent dinners of me talking about how cool this girls hair was in my class. “So today I am going back to the ice rink that Maya had her birthday party at and a nice, tall, pretty lady is going to do a ice skating lesson with me!”…

3 - Sports 1. Generally I hate sports. I am not good at motion activities. So I don’t practise any sport. I like walking, but it isn’t type of sport. In summer I play basketball with my neighbours. In winter I was sledging when I was younger. Sports and I aren’t a good combination. 2. I would like to try curling. It is a winter sport, which came from Canada. I think it is easy to understand and not so tiring for my weak physical condition, e. g. running a marathon. I can’t say exactly which…

“To become an able and successful man in any profession, three things are necessary, nature, study, and practice” This is a famous quote of an American clergyman, Henry Ward Beecher. I agree that nature, study, and practice are the 3 significant elements of success but additionally, I believe that luck and love are crucial too. Everyone is born with some kind of genius. However, since this ‘innate talent’ is under the veil when young, the ‘lucky’ one who discovers this talent and the one who…

This suggests that awards do have an impact on the participants and can influence them negatively. The figure skating communications organizations states whatever the goal of an athlete, motivation influences the success or failure of an individual's performance, which results in the loss or gain of self-confidence/ Merryman (2017) claims that although we must…

Ballet seems to have earned a false identity among those who aren’t actually involved or educated about it. Yes, leaps and turns are a part of our routine, but there is more technique-based exercises allotted in a ballet practice than anything else. The technique and strength-building training is what makes ballet so difficult. It’s Alot of Fun Even though I’ve already stress the difficulty of strength and technique training, ballet is best when you just have fun. As long as you’re not trying to…
