“Investigating the Relationship between Team Cohesion and Self-Presentation among Different Competitive Team Sports of Ethiopian Universities”, T.A. Haddera (2016) was looking at cohesiveness within a team dynamic, “because it’s not only associated with group level outcomes such as performance but also with individual outcomes.” Again, this reinstates that there is a paradoxical nature to team sports in that you have individuals that then make up the team. When looking at team sports from an…

My first soccer team Occasionally friends become similar to a family. One of the best decisions have ever done was sign up for a local soccer team. I was a genuinely shy kid. However, I loved (and still love) soccer. I didn't know at the time how attached I would become to my team and how much teamwork mattered. Assuming I knew beforehand, I would have joined earlier. To start, I was ridiculously excited when my parents told me that they were signing me up for soccer though I was a little…

Five years in a row, undefeated each season, had the best team in the league. It was just another Sunday afternoon, my team and I were prepared for another championship game. Going into the games we held our heads high, knowing we were the defending champs for five years straight, never losing a game, and absolutely destroying our opponents by large margins of victory. It was the Huskies vs. the Heat, you could say they were our rivals, but we knew that they couldn’t handle the competition we…

soccer club. There are two teams divided, one for amateurs and the other for the professionals. As a newbie, I was put in training with other beginners. Day by day, I practiced in the back-up team while looking at the other team training across the stadium, wishing to soon be one of them. I cannot stop imagining myself wearing my school’s jersey and playing along with many talented players in front of admiring eyes of people. At that moment, being qualified for the school team was the dream.…

The agencies/professionals that may be involved with this family are a health visitor, as Mr and Mrs Khan have a baby girl that is only 2 months old. The Khan family may also be in contact with a speech and language therapist, because English is the family’s second language, therefore the school that the children are in, may provide one for the children, as they may be behind with their language development. As their daughter has challenging behaviour, the family may be in contact with a…

A Comparative Analysis of a Casual Conversation and a Formal Interview INTRODUCTION In the following paper, I provide a comparative analysis of a casual conversation and a formal interview based on an approach to ethnography of communication as discussed by Saville-Troike (1997). After a brief review of related studies of these two communicative event types, I present the focus and the framework of the current study. Next, I present a comparative analysis of the two communicative events using…

seemed to work out. Even though we have only been open a few weeks, I find it easier to communicate with other coworkers there than I have at previous jobs. Some of the ways we communicate are a communication log, we have walkie talkies, and we have a team meeting every morning. Using these have made my work experience great. The purpose of the communication log is so that the cashier can communicate with managers and supervisors. By using the log, the cashiers can tell us of anything is wrong…

player Pushed me to enhance my skills. When I began playing club I realized the extreme differences between Club and Recreational soccer. Recreational soccer had an average of three to four good players on each team. Recreational soccer was meant to be fun but also competitive. Each team also had…

target, my passing and dribbling were horribly going wrong. By the end of the day I wanted to go home because I knew in my head that I didn’t make the team. I don’t think those 2 weeks weren’t enough time to actually make the team but with that being said, Not everybody is perfect, for example I felt positive about actually making the soccer team, honestly thought I was going to make it, but sadly things won’t turn out the way you want them…

that we are free of the fear of having to go on visits. I wanted to also let you know how my life live is going. I am 16 years old and a junior in high school.

My goal is to get a scholarship to play college volleyball, and I already have several schools talking to me. I want to work with children so I am planning to major in Education. I also play club volleyball…
