for my team. Being the leader brought out some positive qualities, such as becoming more independent and encouraging. Whenever we lost a game I cheered up the girls, telling them that we played well, but had to work on more drills. Making it to the playoffs was the peak of the season. Knowing how hard we worked and how much I had pushed the girls to do their best was the reason we were there. Even though we lost that game, I knew we played our best and that the season was the best experience I…

The Central High School soccer team would make history in the season 2013-2014, and not one single person expects it. In the season there were only three more crucial games left before the big decisive game. Central prepared diligently, even staying after practice to ensure we were all ready for the biggest game in the soccer’s program, against our biggest rival, Smiths Station. While both Central and Smiths believed that they were ready to come off of that green soccer field with a victory,…

I never thought that my project would include an interview with Greg Kirstein the Senior Vice President of the Blue Jackets front office. Also I didn’t expect my team to make it to the playoffs the first year under my leadership and make it past the first round of the…

and 15.6 RPG. Going into game 4, the Warriors have a few question to answer. After a record-breaking season that saw them win 73 games, it remains to be seen whether or not they are still the best team in the NBA.
