Tryout

“Track Tryouts are today. The Wolves had not gotten a gold medal in 12 years I could win the gold," Ryan explains to Sarah. "You do know that Eli is running for the Red Hawks right," Sarah tells Ryan with disappointment. Eli is the fastest kid in their league, he runs a hundred meters in 10.2 seconds. "I know, but he might be in a different heat this year," Ryan says hopefully. "Either way we have to go to tryouts now," Ryan continues. The track is fairly new with the same red turf as all the…

After Coach Johnson’s long talk and three hard days of tryouts, all fifty-six freshman athletes sprinted to `locker room. If I made the team, my tryout number would be on the door. I scanned the paper that had been hung on the door and didn’t see it. I had tried so hard in tryouts, how my number could not be on there was a mystery. Looking over the list one last time, I had spotted it, twenty-two. Right there in black ink was my number! I had entered the weight room to meet my new teammates.…

Are tryouts good or bad? Well here Are some of my reasons why I think that there should be no tryouts. They are a waste of time, it's too stressful for the kid, and it causes the kid to have emotional exhaustion. I don't think that youth competitive sports tryouts are a good idea and here is why. First of all, I think youth competitive sports aren't good because it is a waste of time. according to changingthegameplan.com they said, “Tryouts is a waste of time, when too many kids are…

next day the coach announced there would be a meeting for everyone who signed up. I attended the meeting and the coach gave each of us a run down of how tryouts would go, and a CD with music so we could practice. She also let us know tryouts would be the following Friday. Excited as I was, I took the CD home and practiced everyday leading up to tryouts. Friday came and everyone met in the gymnasium after school to proceed with try outs. We were divided into groups of four. Finally our group was…

to try out for the Grambling State cheer squad. I cheered all throughout high school so I felt as though it would have been a breeze. Even though the dance was hard we stuck with it and were devoted to trying out. I was very confident the day of tryouts. I had everything down-packed. If I remember correctly, I think I was number seventeen or number fifteen. Coach Lilly made us wear white sports bras and black spandex shorts. I was a little uncomfortable in that attire but later as the time…

players and of course the cheerleaders had to perform their routine that they have been working on for months. I was fascinated with the sport as soon they started. I said to myself that would be so cool to do flips and stunts. I was determined to tryout and make the team, for next year. April…

I only have 4 days to practice my skills for the tryout!” My dad suggested that I should start practicing now, and I surely agreed with him. As I walked outside, It was a nice breezy day with crisp air, I thought “ Wow this is a perfect day to practice.” My dad agreed. We started to work on hitting and pitching skills. I did that for the next five days, and in an instance it was the day of the tryout, the baseball was calling my name. My dad overloaded with happiness no matter…

January of 2016 when I arrived to the high school practice fields to tryout for the varsity soccer team. I had already been cut the year before so I was even more determination to make the team this year. Also, I performed well in preseason training so I was hoping for a better outcome. I had two days to try and prove myself to coach and accomplish a goal that I had failed to achieve to the year before. During the whole tryout I was so focused on proving myself to everyone that I deserved to be…

so I thought I had a good shot at making it. To my disappointment I soon found out it 's not what you know, it 's who you know. The team was already made up before tryouts. Me being cut from the middle school…

travel team that went all around the country to play the best teams. I was very hesitant about trying out because I don’t do well with failure. The whole week leading up to the tryout my dad kept reminding me that it is okay if I didn’t make the team and the tryout alone would be a good experience. Each day closer to the tryout day my stomach grew more nauseous. The day…
