Game of skill

communications skills, you are exercising while playing the sport, and basketball helps with everyday stress. Firstly, basketball is a team sport; which means you would have to communicate a lot with your teammates. For example, when your passing the ball to your teammate, you and your teammate would have to communicate with each other. If you can't communicate well with your teammates then your team will lose the ball; you don't want that happening. So basically, if your communication skills…

difficult open world video game ever, as I cannot restart mission or start a new game whenever I feel like. My parents taught me how to use the controller to produce the most desirable outcome. I have been on missions ranging from early morning soccer matches, to dissecting frogs in biology class. I’ve made mistakes, learned from them, applied the knowledge in similar scenarios, and gained experience points to level up. My personal traits such as, conviction, empathy, linguistic skills, reaction…

Pele grew up playing soccer in his neighborhood with his friends and they called themselves “The Shoeless Ones.” At the age of 15 he began playing for the Brazil International Soccer Team, as their striker.

Pele was the youngest to ever join an International Soccer team. After 2 years he won his first World Cup. They defeated sweden 5-2. Pele is…

I definitely think that I would do that again now that I am more used to it and it's not the first time. The lesson that I have learned was have the courage to try and do something new, which is what I did. The coach came up to me after the games and told me things I could work on and things that I did good and took all of that in a positive way to make myself a better player on the court. In the end all that matters is that I had the courage and I had…

Oreos and a juice box or occasionally the god-awful apple from a health conscious mother. So how is it that this sport would grow to become one of my greatest sources of joy and pride? This pride I speak of has not come from any particular standout skill; I am by no means a soccer maestro, in fact I am no stranger to the bench. Yet my time playing soccer has brought about a satisfaction that is unrivaled by any of my other various enterprises. To explain this it is perhaps best to skip ahead…

Hi I am going to talk you about why I think rugby is the best sport. First I am going to tell you a bit about rugby. The sport of rugby is named after Rugby School, England where the game was first played. The game is said to have been invented in 1823 when William Webb Ellis caught the ball while playing a game of football at school, and ran to the goal with it. Although there is doubt about whether this actually happened, Webb Ellis is still remembered as the sport's inventor and the winner of…

After a dreadful attendance of only 21,000 for last year's spring game, Coach Jim McElwain and crew tried something different this year to boost attendance by hosting the game on a Friday night for the first time in history, and it paid off. As kickoff approached, University Ave was flooded with pedestrians in orange and blue apparel. Football was in the air, at least for a night, but that was good enough to bring together 46,000 fans and over 40 recruits into The Swamp to watch the Gators.…

homage to Bryant's love for the game that made him famous. In an interview with Good Morning America, Bryant described the excitement he received from playing basketball as a child and it's influence over his life. “I couldn’t put the basketball down, When my parents bought me a brand new basketball, I found myself lying in bed and shooting with it. I’d fall asleep with it. I’d…

ball. I played for a Wheeler high school club team for my first time ever, I can say they were not a good team. The coach was harsh and tough on the beginners like myself and he made me want to quit playing. Mid way through the season he put me in the game and I had got the ball for the first time ever, I was so excited I couldn’t contain myself. I took the ball down the field and I shot, it felt as if time froze for me. The ball was zooming towards the goal, or at least that is what I had…
