The Varsity

Waking up with a sudden start to see one of my teammates telling me that we made it, i’m shocked and i force myself to get up to prepare for this run. Getting off the bus to see the beautiful sun and other schools setting up their tents as junior varsity is almost ready to run. Feeling nervous and scared,i run to the restroom to be prepared for my run… Slowly reminding myself that i need to focus. Deep breaths in,then out as we stretch out and get ready. The gunman positions himself and says…

during those years he had the biggest impact on me and was a huge role model. Going into my freshman year everyone was afraid of him, and we all knew what a tough coach he was. Our freshman team was separate from the junior varsity and varsity team. Coach Book coached varsity but he would still come watch the JV and even freshman at their games. He always wanted to get a head start to see who he would get to work with next year. This would make everyone nervous…

the lunch table, and after the first couple spring workouts I realized how much effort I would have to put in to make it. Through hard work and effort along with a lot of food and protein I made it on the junior varsity team. I played well in JV, so my junior year I was moved up to varsity which is a completely different league of its own. Immediately the workouts became more intense and the physical demands skyrocketed. My whole mind set shifted 3 games into the season, that’s when I chose to…

A person that has helped me grow into the man I am today is my high school baseball coach Steve Leake. From the first day I stepped on the diamond he saw something in me that nobody except my grandfather had told seen. The four years that Coach Leake and I spent together trying to capture the schools first state championship ring were some of the greatest seasons I ever played. As a new school year began I made the decision to go to a different school for high school.I began lost on that…

field and on the basketball court. Much of my life has been devoted to extracurricular activities such as sports and the comelec, which taught me hard lessons in ethics and values that have made me who I am today. I not only represented my school varsity, but also sports clubs outside of school, which led me to compete in several local and international tournaments. As well as my passion for sports, I grew into my passion for service; service for others and for my school, partaking in clubs and…

In my three years at Beckman, I have created various titles for myself such as the freshman on Varsity soccer, Link Cru Coordinator, and Second Team All-League lacrosse player. In brief, I am everybody. Yet at the same time, I am nobody. As a freshman, I was an anxious and petite girl who was afraid of standing up for herself; I was incredibly scared of speaking up in class or making new friends. After realizing my issues, beginning medication, and understanding my weaknesses, my personality…

Over the last few months, a battle between Joe Kennedy, a high school varsity football coach, and the Bremerton School District, over whether Coach Kennedy should or should not be allowed to prayer after the football games. The reason that this has become such a problem is because Coach Kennedy has been asked to stop the prayer because it is violation of district policies and the law. Matt Calkin, sports columnist for the Seattle Times, does not see the issue with Coach Kennedy praying on the…

playing time, to starting point guard for RBC. During the season I was trained by better coaches and was assisted by amazing teammates. I felt like I was a part of something. Instead of playing on my old AAU team in the summer, I practice with the varsity team. I got a feel of a new and more aggressive play style. Junior year he came around and my confidence was great. When tryouts came I thought I had the position. I was starting point guard last year, so I had to have a spot this year I…

for the varsity basketball team and didn’t make it. This fault shocked him and he was embarrassed because of it. Sir Gawain was also embarrassed of his fault and even he had a scar to remind him of it. “And he showed them the scar at the side of his neck confirming his breach of faith, like a badge of blame.” (Armitage.2498) Michael Jordan will also always be reminded of his fault in his career. However, Jordan got past his fault and continued to work toward his goal of making the varsity team.…
