High jump

This track season was the best time of my life, but it went by way too fast. I had no clue what any of the events were, but I caught on very fast because I started training with my cousin, He set the High School record for discus and still has it today. We started to work on throwing shot, and I got very good because we would work on my form for hours and because of that I was the best thrower the whole season. If you look at me compared to other throwers, I look very scrawny. I got 1st in most…

you to develop your confidence on. Some of the courses have been low, high, and others a combination of both. Some of the balance beams have been wide, narrow, and a gain a combination of both. You started off wanting to hold my hand while walking the whole length of the balance beam course, but slowly you have been developing the courage to walk along a section independently. Some times you would fall off, or have to jump off when you lost your footing. I always encourage you to keep on…

inches, according to Tim. He raised it to 4’11”. I knew I that in order to break the school record I had to make this jump. He called my name. I looked around me and my whole team was there to support me. My parents and grandparents were sitting behind me. I turned around and walked slowly up to my mark. I jumped a couple times and took a few deep breaths. You can do this. One jump and you’ll have the school record. I urged. I rocked back and forth and back and forth and back and forth to find…

Football/Cheerleading Camp and the Packers & Broncos Cheerleading Camp. Both camps were located at John Harris High School for ages 5-14 and were free with food provided. During both camps my job was to focus on the basic skills you need to learn to become a cheerleader and also make up a routine to teach the girls. The Danny Lansanah Football/Cheerleading Camp was a camp that has gone on every year at John Harris High School. Mrs. Sheena (Danny Lansanah’s wife) said that she thought adding a…

certain percentage of them have to be from the area where the team is located. There’s more players to choose from because they can come from anywhere in the area where the team is. Usually, in school softball, everyone who tries out makes the team, or a high percentage of them do. In travel the best of the best try out. Not everyone makes the team and usually a lot of them are cut. Overall, more people make school softball teams than…

and my arms were tingling as if your foot fell asleep. He notices that I was being lazy and comes to me and says “ You want to be able to grab rim and be able to dunk right?” I told him “yes”. Then, he said “well use them legs and jump high as if you are trying to jump to the moon and finish the hard,strong,aggressive lay up.” I proceeded to start pushing myself extremely hard.…

Track and field has been the highlight of my high school life. The social aspect, the large assortment of events from which to choose, and the people I met are things I will always treasure. I especially loved the fact that there was always a place for everyone. If you weren’t too quick, then discus was your event. If you could build up quick bursts of speed, long and triple jumps suited you. Track was the only sport where such a large variety of people could congregate and enjoy what they were…

his point that a person's success and achievements are determined by their innate abilities, but his point is shaky and unsound. To begin, Epstein explains Thomas's newfound ability and inexperience with it. Thomas learned how high he could jump in a bet, and began hitting high heights immediately. After just eight months of training, Thomas was already traveling to Osaka, Japan to compete in the World Championship. While he was there, Thomas appeared as "very much unknown quantity." In the…

whatever they wanted. There would be: a game of kickball in the grass by the hill, tag or some imaginary game in the playground, a game of hopscotch or jump rope on the blacktop, and a place to talk to people and climb about in the wood chip section. On the small playground however, there was a larger blacktop area, but it always seemed packed with more jump rope, four square, basketball, and hopscotch than there was room for. There was a small playground area for everyone else to herd into…

do so I started trying new things. I tried high jump, then long jump, and I even tried javelin. But none of the events felt right like I couldn’t be good at them. Then one day I seen this…
