Tryout

Jerry Jones biggest risk was taken when he created the new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys back in 2009 which is now recognized as the glorious AT&T stadium. When designing the stadium, Jerry Jones knew what would appeal to the fans. He designed the stadium under his view on professional sports and was able to create an entertainment mecca for the city of Arlington, Texas (12). In 2013, Jerry Jones signed over the naming rights of the stadium to AT&T because he knew this would be good for the…

I have always loved soccer. It is the sport that I had first pursued, and have loved it ever since. I have never thought anything bad of it, never wanted to quit, and have had fun with it since the start. Soccer has helped me greatly with other sports. It keeps me fit, improves my agility, and helps me focus while playing sports. As the sports I have been playing are narrowing down, I have grown to love the sport more and more. I plan to pursue soccer through middle school, hopefully highschool,…

Even thought it was tough for me at first, I worked hard to prove that I could be a member of a discourse community. Joining anything comes with a struggle, such as fitting in or trying to be the best. Basketball is a prioritized sport in my family. I always knew that when I hit junior high it would be time to fulfill my family’s prophecy of joining a basketball team. I was not too thrilled with the thought at first. I decided to talk to some of my friends to get their view on it. Most of their…

Ever since being introduced into the sport of soccer, I have been changed by the learning experiences that I have endured through my endless determination to become a varsity soccer player. Junior year was in the midst and so were tryouts for soccer, during the winter season. So, I tried out and was selected into junior varsity. My season was very fine as I was a starter for either center back or striker. In the end of the season, during the banquet, the Varsity coach pulled me over to talk to…

the field because I knew that was the only way I was going to get the results I wanted. I knew that with every lap and every push up I was making myself and my team a little better a small bit at a time. At the end of the summer workouts ended and tryouts started. It…

third season as an assistance coach to the Great Bridge Middle School (GBMS) Color Guard. A few weeks before tryouts for marching band my sophomore year, my coaches, Chris and Donny asked for a few volunteers to travel to the three middle schools that filter into Grassfield (Hickory, GBMS and Hugo), and teach the rising ninth graders a few basics, the flag work and dance they needed for tryouts. I decided to help out due to my dedication for color…

Failure is a noun that traditionally puts a bad taste in someones mouth and scares them off. As a person, it's a little different for me, I view it as an opportunity to grow. When I do fail I don't sit down an moan, I get up and look at how it influenced me to be a greater human being. Friedrich Nietzsche once said, "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." There's one experience that sticks out more than any of the rest when it comes to failure for myself. This incident played such a…

one moment in the day. Now, it was time. Time to be rejected from the football team by Jesse. When the bell rang, Noah ran to the locker room, got changed as quickly as possible, and went out to the football field. “Ok, people! Football tryouts!” The tryouts went on for only an hour, but when they were done, Noah was sweating like it was 102° Celsius on a summer California day! “Ok, boys!” Announced Jesse when they were finished. “Go hit the showers, get changed, and come right back on out…

that made fun of me when I was younger about my “skills” only 3 of them even tried out. All them rest of them had excuses as such: “I’m not gonna’ make it”, “Oh, tryouts are this week?” or my favorite “It’s all just politics the team is already set.”. In my mind I knew they really they had all just quit. Anyway, after all the days of tryouts were over the roster of the 2016 Raiders was on the locker room door. When I got there, there were at least 10 other people there. I nervously aproached the…

Monday and Tuesday we learned the dance and cheer, Wednesday was an off day to practice, Thursday we went over the cheer and dance, and Friday was the actual tryouts. I have always been a quick learner when it comes to dances and routines, so this wasn’t hard, but it definitely was not easy either. Yet, we persevered and got through it. Sadly, we didn’t find out if we made it until that next Monday after school…
