account for this theory. Furthermore, in the observations, the factors of a learned behavior were monitored: undivided attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. To correlate the placements with the concept of the theory, the results of the tryouts were compared to the practice observations and…

with me and give me tips on what I should do in a situation such as if I hit the ball back to the opponent then I should always go back to the middle of the far back white line. A couple months later from the first day of open court came the tennis tryouts, everybody made sure that they were ready for it. Walters then told me that the try outs would last five days of the week.. The…

The end of summer before seventh grade started I was kind of nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. Some of the things that I did expect were that the teachers would be more strict and that the work would be more challenging than in sixth. Throughout the year I was able to get to know the teachers and learn that most were very nice and that I had nothing to worry about. The work was a little more challenging than in sixth but it’s supposed to be. One of the highlights of my seventh grade…

to the basketball tryouts and there was this group of “mean girls”. Every high school usually had this group of mean girls who went tot the school thinking that they were big, terrifying, bad, and could tell anyone they came across what to do. Their group leader’s name was Brooklyn. As they laughed at Mindy’s hair a junior girl by the name of Alexis walked up and told Mindy that Brooklyn had been doing that for the past three years of high school and to not worry about her. Tryouts went on and…

overall I was shocked at why I was being attacked seemingly unprovoked. My father then decided to inform me that tomorrow at 8 AM I had to report to the soccer fields at Holy Ghost Preparatory School for soccer tryouts. My father had set out strict regulations for when I was to be in bed during tryouts, and at this point it was evident I disobeyed his wishes. At this point in the night I was fed up with my father and stormed up to my bedroom to avoid any further confrontation.…

of my peers’ skating abilities. The discouraging words that I was “too late” and that “kids have been skating since they were two years old” would not stop me. After three seasons of recreational play, I decided that I was ready for a travel team. Tryouts concluded and I did not make the cut. I was disappointed and started to second guess my chances to ever compete at a high level. Failing to make the team made me think that the ones who doubted me were right, but it also…

As we grow older you run into many decisions that affect the outcome of your life. Sometimes you get stuck choosing between your friends and your future. The poem, "The Road Not Taken," by Robert Frost, tells the reader about how there are two "roads" to go down, the way everyone else is going, or going the opposite way to help better you. In my life I have made many choices that have affected me. Many of my choices are based upon my future rather than friends, because honestly you never know…

my age, nine times out of ten, I was the better player. So some years fly by and I am now in sixth grade. It is finally time to put my skills to the test. There was no paying and you are automatically on the team this time around. It was an actual tryout; in other words, it was the clarification and reassurance I would need to know that I was actually…

Varsity and Varsity for both of them and during Track in the spring there is only Junior Varsity and Varsity, no Freshman teams. During the final day of volleyball tryouts we had a "conditioning day" where we would rotate through stations with a different exercise routine at each and one station was a coaches meeting. These were my first tryout of high school and they were extremely stressful, not only because I wanted to prove myself to my coaches but also because the training was so difficult.…

strong. Moreover, it was the time in my freshman year when I heard the first announcement of the tryouts of the Gloucester High soccer team. I was super excited because soccer was my favorite sport and I was playing it since I was a child. It was also a great start of my high school career when I joined the team. It gave me an advantage to make more friends and connect with them. The first days of tryouts were very critical, it was important for me to remain balanced. In my case I was pushing…
