Team sport

I have chosen to write about bowling for Special Olympics. The Special Olympics is for people that have developmental disabilities. This organization helps students and adults participate in activities at their own level. Also, they are able to build confidence and self-esteem within themselves and others. And not only build confidence and self-esteem but to come together and compete with each other. In the Special Olympics bowling, they justify the rules for people with disabilities so that…

Youth sports have been a very popular recreation in America. It allows kids to have the chance to play a sport at a young age. However, many of the kids only play a single sport, and the types of adults that either spectate or coach youth sports are mainly split into two opposing sides. One half helps the kids to succeed in the sport they are playing and let the kid choose if they want to play that sport, and the other half force the child to play a sport that they may not like and gravitate…

Pole VaultTrack and field is one of the most diverse sports in the sporting community. The variety of events makes it a great choice for everyone. With 12 different events, every kind of person is given the chance to shine. Many of the events overlap with body types such as shot put and discus, both require a strong core and muscular arms. Pole vault is an event that uses your whole body and requires maximum focus to ensure no injuries will occur. Pole vault has many different aspects to it and…

When we think about the word sport, should we think that it’s about physical involvement, athletes, teams, skill, or a goal? However, should it always have a physical activity in it or, does it have to be in the Olympics to be called a sport? Sports should not be thought to be only physical activities, but mind and skill as well. In seeing the training that goes on into any type of sport can be stressful, even in chess, and the effects of stress can exhaust a person, even when they aren’t doing…

The sports talk radio program I decided to listen to was ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption from 2/26/16. This program features hosts Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon, both well-known figures in the sports world who have been hosting PTI since 2001. I have listened and watched PTI before, and one of the reasons it is so great is because they condense a lot of sports talk into a short amount of time. On weekdays, it airs on ESPN at 5:30 pm and only runs for a half an hour. It is a perfect time to…

Playing sports competitively at a young age is good for a child’s progress in development and physical shape, as well as, their social and psychological health. Teaching self discipline, building confidence, strengthening commitment and learning the art of teamwork makes competition a necessary step in a child’s growth. Aside from of the character traits that are acquired from competition, there are also many obvious health benefits of starting children at a younger age in sports, especially…

Co-ed sports teams at schools When I was little,I always saw my sister hitting big green balls and running basses and I thought I wanted to play but then as I grew up she told me that softball was a girls sport. I was so sad and disappointed. Then she said but there's baseball. Then I started playing baseball. That is why I believe schools should have co-ed sports teams. Interaction with each other First of all, it gives girls and boys a chance to play and interact with each other. It also gives…

For most athletes the pressure to perform in their sport, demands a large portion of time training which includes physical, emotional and mental. The feeling of not having enough time causes many athletes to push themselves beyond their physical limits. When physical limits are pushed the likelihood of sustaining injuries are increased leaving athletes temporarily or permanently out of the game. “If athletes are injured while on contract with the school and can no longer maintain their level of…

performances have led to multiple sports awards which made me feel proud, shown me that hard work really does pay off and all the tears and sweat are worth it. Playing for my high school team is important to me. I am a four year varsity starter and team leader. It was an accomplishment to start as a freshman since our team was talented. I was very nervous to play with the upper-classmen while maintaining my school work. It was difficult to balance school and sports, but as time went on it got…

would act like I was playing this specific instrument and my parents would look at me and think that it was cute. My parents were professional athletes; my dad played soccer for the Guatemalan team and my mom played Volleyball, and was a swimmer for the Guatemalan team too. So they thought I would play sports, but I chose to music instead. It all started in the 6th grade, when my class was given the opportunity to play an instrument. I wasn’t sure what to play until I played all the mouthpieces.…
