Skating

How to ruin a child In the article it’s told that “the theory that praise, self-esteem and accomplishment increase in tandem is false” (George F. Will). Which is why some children soccer teams stopped counting goals and shower trophies on everyone, or that they even in physical education classes’ students are jump roping without rope. He says children are jumping rope without ropes because of self-esteem obsession and the list goes on, such as opening lunchboxes to find handwritten notes…

and a gentle breeze was flowing with swiftness. My mom was sitting in a booth at the birth place of my new dream. I was a six year old girl, skating with the grace of swan and remembering everything I knew from my many years of experience. And as I finished my routine I realized at that very moment what my new dream was: to go into the Olympics for figure skating. I was thrilled when my mother realized that I have a dream of the Olympics and being the best figure skater. From that point forward…

Struggles are a necessary part of life. Without them we would accomplish nothing. Merna Summers’ short story “The Skating Party” revolves around Nathan Singleton, and the story of a night in the past, told through the eyes of his niece Maida. At eleven years old she is told by her mother that Nathan’s fiancée Eunice and her sister Delia had fallen through the ice of the lake one November night. Delia was the only one of the two to survive the accident and when asked by Maida why he chose to save…

because of a connecting variable, but are not occurring as a result of one another. Causation is when a change in one factor results in a corresponding change in another factor. An example of a positive correlation is ice skating and the avalanches. It would be weird if ice skating was a cause of avalanches. An actual cause of both of those things that link them is the cold weather. Between correlation and causation, it is much harder to prove that one variable causes something else to…

Popping An Ollie Physics Around Campus Ryan Meehan Physics 102 Spring 2017 This is a picture of me popping an ollie in the basement of Dooley Hall. An ollie is the first trick that many skaters learn, as it is the foundation for almost every other trick and can help skaters avoid obstacles such as small cracks and rocks that could ruin your day, and knees. The physics behind popping an ollie is very interesting, and after teaching my friends, and kids that I babysit how to skate…

Roller derby When I first started derby, I got killed. Girls from ages from 10-17 years old were crashing into me. I was 10 and had no skill at all. At practice we had to wear a lot. I had black Riedell skates, a blue helmet and mouthguard. I also had normal knee and elbow pads and wrist guards. The first few practices were difficult and I fell a lot. After every practice I was sore and everyone smelled horrible. My first few games I did terrible . All I did was fall and get pushed around.…

The Physics Behind Figure Skating Growing up as a child, I always went to the RDV and saw girls my age participating in figure skating. That is when my fascination began. However, I could not join because I was already committed to dancing. Additionally, a movie came out on Disney Channel when I was younger; it was called Ice Princess. The movie centered on a girl focused on physics and she had a similar project as mine: looking at the physics of ice-skating. As she spent time videotaping and…

Why!? Why I didn't start ice skating since when I was younger? I knew that I was into this sport and interested in spins and jumps. The moment that I experienced a love at first sight happened when I was in kindergarten. Before kindergarten, I wasn't really into any sports. In contrast, one day, I was watching the Olympics on TV with my family. I was watching women's figure skating session and all of the women athletes were practicing on ice. After the practice, face of every athlete…

Chloe Kim became an increasingly eminent name in the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea. The California native started snowboarding at the age of 4, and became the prevailing female half-pipe champion in the world. Kim won her first medal in the X games at the age of 13, and has since earned 3 consecutive gold medals in the 2015-2016 games. This made her the only athlete in the history of the X Games to hold three gold medals before the age of 16. Kim was also the first woman to…
