Coach Hunter is an important person to me, because he taught me how to play lacrosse, which I still play to this day. Coach Hunter was an average size man with a very short beard and always seemed to be wearing a beanie. I first met him at my first practice for the North Penn Dragons. When I was first introduced to him he told me he would be my coach and that he would teach me how to play. Most of my team were also new players, so we all had a lot of things to learn in the first weeks before our…

in Arizona for 3 months. My family realized the weather was just too hot, so we moved back to Hermantown. I've lived here since. I like living in Hermantown way better than Arizona because I like snow and snowmobiling. Some of my hobbies include lacrosse, snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, and shooting my bow. In the winter, when the snow is falling, you’ll find me out on the trails. Even though my snowmobile is a peice of crap, I like it anyways. When I go snowmobiling, I feel like I am…

resilience throughout the film. The team utilizes culture, heritage, and longstanding traditional values to help overcome adversity and defeat poor self-esteem, in order to turn their lacrosse season around by going back to their cultural roots. Within the film Crooked Arrows, it depicts a Native American prep school lacrosse team in New York, which struggle not only on the field but also off the field. The on the field struggle quite simply pertains to the fact that the players are simply…

class which embarrassed her plenty because she was a ¨know it all¨ as most kids in the class called her.

realize the influence sports would have on my life when I first started. It took years and years of participation to notice how each sport I played growing up impacted my career goals, my relationship with my family, and myself overall. Soccer, hockey, lacrosse, golf, and tennis are typically the words I grew up describing myself as. Without knowing at the time, these sports really were what made me, me! Today, I don’t participate in all these…

My name is Bryan Waddick, I am thirteen years old and have lived in Dubuque my whole life. I live with my mom, dad, two brothers and my dog. My family is very into sports, both of my brothers and I play hockey, baseball and lacrosse. I also play football and track here at Roosevelt. We are all very into technology and own a lot of it.

I take a deep breath. My gloved hand finds the orange painted metal of the crossbar and I hang on for dear life. I can feel my heart racing as I run my fingers along the cold, white plastic of my lacrosse stick. Coach calls me over to the sidelines and smiles down at me through the bars of my helmet. I look at him expectantly. “You’re going to be fine, you are ready for this,” he says as he adjusts the straps on the side of my head with a pop and a click. I can feel the adrenaline rushing…

thought to myself. I looked down at my outfit: tacky dress shirt, obligatory tie, creased khakis, and boat shoes. I put in the work, I dressed the part—there’s only one piece missing. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is our Hillsborough High School varsity lacrosse team,” announced the coach. Cheers and applause poured out from the crowd, but it left me choking back tears, distraught. All those Sunday afternoons on the field, those carved-out study breaks, it all felt squandered. I pondered how this…

A car’s name is supposed to evoke respect as well as engender consumer interest in a product, but sometimes manufacturers choose an identity that does just the opposite. In some instances the car’s name may simply be a cultural mistake, what sounds right in the native tongue, but translates badly elsewhere. We can’t always say for certain why a manufacturer would choose a particular (bad) name, but we can identify some of the worst car names of all times and the history behind those models. 1…
