Student sport

the girls that I helped were then able to teach the newer students just joining the team. We worked hard, and even though we were definitely not the best team, we had fun and learned from each other.

So I spent my free time practicing for the next year and trying out new sports. I made sure that for my final year, that we would have…

You hear about fights all the time between MLB, NBA, NFL, and other sports like hockey, UFC, and MMA they make violence seem acceptable. I think to myself and I know that character isn’t about violence, it isn’t about the “crap talk”, but it’s about if you knock…

This is displayed in 1919 when “ The Greatest Scandal in Sports History” took place and astonished many people who looked up to some of the world’s most popular athletes. The Chicago White Sox players took money, or a bribe, to play poorly and lose the world series.

word I chose to define was the term sports. Lots of people have different opinions about the word sports and what it means. Dictionary.com defines sport as “an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.” I have always defined sports as an activity played by people that involves either physical or mental skills. I have always seen sports mainly as competition and…

My greatest passion and activity is field hockey. A field hockey sisterhood is like a flock of migrating birds in the deep sky. If you look up, they soar through clouds sticking together in a V-formation similar to the diamond layout on a field hockey field.
