My favorite sport is basketball and the person that inspires me to do my best on and off the court is the best of all time Michael Jordan. I’ve decided to read the book, “Facing Michael Jordan,” edited by Sean Deveney with Kent McDill to learn more about my role model.

That Moment There were many hours spent in the gym preparing for every game played throughout the year. The laps up and down the court sprinting to get into shape all to prepare for the one moment of glory. Knowing now that anything is possible I probably should have put more effort into every practice I had. For me this year will be different. I have already spent more time training. I played over the summer with some of the best teams in the area. Making myself better was the goal of the…

The Day I Forgot When your going to a soccer game, you never know what's going to go down or what's going to happen. This particular soccer game changed my view on soccer and life itself. We were playing Woodbury, it was back in the 5th grade. My dad was my soccer coach at that time. My closest friends were on my soccer team, so it made soccer really a fun time for me. The game was going good so far, we were winning 2-1. But everyone knows that that’s the easiest time for a team to come back…

Also like other athletes, this will not hurt Messi's football career. The 29-year-old superstar will continue to attend Barcelona's pre-season training. These disputed tax payments date back to a certain period from 2007-2009. In this time, Messi dominated the game and took Barcelona to a world's top…

As long as I can remember, I’ve been a fan of soccer. Growing up in Europe, soccer was a very popular sport and was played by every child in its early years. I was born In Switzerland, being active and taking part in sports has always been a necessity in growing up as it is with almost every kid growing up. The reason to which I decided to pick soccer rather than other sports was mainly due to the reason that I am more of a team player rather than playing alone. It is understandable that making…

tchoukball I have ever seen. It was the red team versus the green team, and when the game started the red team won the tip off. Tyler yelled “Cole I’m open!”, then Cole passed it to Tyler and he flung it on the rebounder like Aaron Rodgers throwing a football to Jordy Nelson, and the ball launched off the rebounder. The green team couldn’t catch it so the red team scored a point. Cole and Nick were both shouting “Great job Tyler!”. The green team had possession of the ball and Austin threw…

An identity that has accumulated throughout my life could be expressed as a student athlete. As a child, I was always attracted to the idea of playing sports. As soon as I came about the age of four, my parents enrolled me into soccer, baseball and speed school. Juggling between sports, extracurricular activities, and other household chores; my parents expected me to excel in all of these occupations. Between all of these obligations, sports became an alleviation for me, a part of me that I…
