Tryout

when things are going your way but what truly defines you is the ability rebound when you are at your lowest point. My lowest point of my hockey career happened during minor hockey while trying out for my local AA hockey team. It was my first AA tryout and I…

When I was thirteen, we moved to four hours south of Daytona Beach to Fort Lauderdale. This was an adjustment for me because it meant saying bye to my father, grandmother, other family members and friends. My mother was the single parent of two growing teenage boys who could eat you out of house and home. We didn’t have the best of everything, but my mother made sure that we had everything that we needed. She ran a tight ship and we were expected to do our share. When she didn’t work two jobs,…

In the song, Lose Yourself, Eminem began with the statement, “Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted. One moment. Would you capture it or just let it slip?” This particular verse has crossed my mind hundreds of times and I ask myself what I would do if I was in a situation like that. Now, a couple of years ago, I would have chosen to take the easy way out and let the opportunity pass by. Unlike then, today I would have taken the shot and give my all to…

Group communication is one of the most important types of communication in the world today. In a society that is becoming more and more engulfed in themselves, through cell phones, and social media, it is important that the value of communicating with one another is not lost or forgotten about. Our group thought long and hard about a movie that would best portray group communication and all of its components, and what better movie than one all about a team of cheerleaders? Bring It On is a movie…

Because there are not enough time to drive fifteen miles away to have their favorite food or a nice theater around campus, students have fewer choices to spend their time. In contrast, let explore a new museum exhibit, visit new art gallery, and tryout different types of food from the across restaurants in the big cities. These choices made up a fresh environment to keep students busy in a good way that most small cities might lack. Nevertheless, the diverse off-campus options also broaden…

While playing sports, kids have to work with each other to become the best team that they can be. In the beginning of my football season right after tryouts, my coaches had us do train track which is where you have to step between each others legs while running. We had to be able to trust out teammates to not step on us during the drill and we couldn't move. That was a big confidence builder for me that…

phenomenon. In a 4 year tenure, his team had only lost one game (“Red”). Grange had a very small body figure, which kept him from playing college ball at Illinois University, but his brothers strongly encouraged Red to try out. When he went back out to tryouts, he quickly caught the attention of Illinois’ Coach Bob Zuppke (“Grange” 112). After his 4 year attendance at Illinois Red went immediately into professional football. At the time though, this sport was not very known throughout the…

by in a blur, I didn’t mess up. When it came the time for us to do a split, I didn’t think anything would go wrong. I went down into it, but I didn’t go down all the way. I forced myself to go all the way down, and I felt no pain. The rest of the tryout went amazing, I didn’t mess up at all and I walked into the cafeteria smiling when it was over. There was a slight pain in left leg, but I didn’t think there was anything…
