The Varsity

the ground to the sky. Immediately my freshman year I began laying down the foundation and started expanding toward the sky and enhanced my leadership opportunities each year. Highlighting on these opportunities, I was a four year varsity soccer starter, two year varsity soccer captain,…

When I was appointed as a Varsity Co-Captain for the high school swim team in my freshman year, I was still new to the high school scoring system, which differed from the club meets that I grew up participating in. I devoted my time as a captain leading activities I was accustomed to- running warm-ups at meets, facilitating practice dives, and assisting in equipment setup. During this period, I couldn’t help but notice that some swimmers, especially new members, were not getting as much…

my mind to anything I can succeed. First, I observed what Shannon does for her job and also Rebecca. I got to witness the tape job Shannon was doing on a basketball player on his ankle. There was a basketball game and our junior varsity beat Grand forks, but our Varsity couldn’t pull it off. I was also able to witness a cheerleader injuring herself and was rushed into the athletic trainer’s room. I also noticed many interesting performances from the acrobat team. New concepts I learned was…

the cut, they are placed in “instructional” which is kind of like a junior varsity for middle school. In middle school, the seasons are also messed up. Softball is in the fall and volleyball is in the spring. Also in middle school the “JV” team is split up into many different teams. In high school, the sports are super competitive. The only accept few freshman into each sport, and they are almost always on junior varsity. The seasons in high school are normal, and they always match up with every…

I am taking four AP courses this year, along with others to supplement my high school career. Recently, I have found AP Psychology extremely rewarding. AP Psychology astounds me and allows me to rediscover what being human means. With this course, I can go deeper into the human mind and the ways that our minds function. The biological, or innate, aspects of the human mind and body are incredible, but studying about the functions and ideas beyond that aspect allow me to gain an extensive…

Description The moments leading up to a varsity football game is an exciting, electric experience. I feel that varsity sports in high school are somehow underappreciated or perhaps delivered underwhelmingly. The feeling at my first game was poetry in motion. We met in the bus garage, the dusty, discarded material surrounding us, and smelling as musty as old junk should. We sat on hard, cold chairs with wheels on them that rolled when I shifted my weight. It was fairly hot and I could feel the…

yet a varsity competitor, I have been striving to be one since freshman year. I run on days we don’t have practice and throughout the offseason. I’ve always worked very hard to improve my times and challenge myself; running is a lifelong sport and I will continue it as long as possible. There is a unique camaraderie on a cross-country team. We are a tight-knit, collaborative group who cheer for each other during meets and practices. We all run together in races whether ranked as JV or varsity,…

As with any other event, Western sporting events constantly face competition from around the City of London, whether it be direct or indirect. Probably the biggest competitors that Western Athletics has are the London Knights and London Lightning, which are the city’s hockey and basketball teams, respectively. However, Western has many advantages over these competitors. The first of these is that Western Athletics games are free for students to attend, while attending a professional team’s game…

I enjoy evenings much more than mornings, I have better attitude to finish the day when it’s almost over. I will attend one of these colleges for 4 years and earn my teaching license. I want to teach kids as well as coach, I would enjoy being a varsity basketball coach teaching kids the right way to play basketball. My intentions would be to play with heart and hustle rather than just skill. My recent coach Josh Burkett inspired me to become a teacher as well as a coach. He had a serious…

residential area had a notoriety state wide to produce top level groups each season. Tragically, this made the opposition to be picked to be on the group significantly more strenuous. After a promising youth vocation, I influenced the secondary school varsity to track group. My senior year I was harmed and needed to choose whether or not I could keep running in the title diversion I'd generally longed for. As an…
