How I Learned to Play Soccer I love soccer. It’s as simple as that. There isn’t a single aspect of the game that I don’t adore. If you ask my parents, they’ll say that I learned to play soccer when I was 3, at “Peewee Soccer Lessons” through the East Troy Rec department. However, if you ask anyone who I’ve played, they’ll say I learned in the “Recess Soccer League”. It was totally unofficial. That name didn’t get coined until 6th grade, but that’s how I think of it now. Most of my understanding…

meant to be on a travelling softball team back then, I just thought it would be as laid back as VAA. My first year I loved it and I had lots of fun and made lots of new friends. I would practice with my dad often so that I could get better. Then I continued with softball all the way through elementary school and middle school. Two summers ago the Stillwater softball team was starting to fall apart and more girls were deciding to leave and go to a different team or play a different sport. So…

January, my Boy Scout Troop partook in the Hopewell Klondike Derby. Our troop constructed a sled for the competition and prepared everything we needed in a long black box. In this derby each team is challenged to pull their sled along a course to several stations in which our boy scout skills are tested. Our team did fairly well at quite a lot of the stations, while we struggled on others. Particularly we struggled to light a fire long enough to make a small tuna can filled with water boil.…

commonly achieve a goal. One important thing with teamwork is that everyone provides something. Not only one person is on the team, there is many. In each sport everyone has a position, and during that time they need to provide effort to the team to help out. It is their position so whatever comes to them or a challenge they approach it is their responsibility, but the team can also add support. Everyone makes mistakes and it always happens in a sport, but the best thing about a sport is having…

from being a benchwarmer to one of the finest players on the team. I began playing in more competitive leagues, even playing against boys at one point. I was called-up to my soccer club’s premier team and was afforded the opportunity to travel across the nation to play in tournaments. It’s safe to say that I was one of the most valuable players on my club team and that also was true when I played for my high school. I lead my high school team in scoring and assisting, and…

The Hillsborough Middle School Girls Lacrosse Team had an exceptional season, finishing with a strong record of 11-5. They managed to score a whopping 147 goals, and 19 out of the 22 players contributed to that miraculous number. Although the team suffered a tough loss during the semi-finals in a close game against Montgomery, they each blossomed as not only players but people. Tessa Norfleet, one of the team's three captains, shared her thoughts on the season. She stated, “Though we…

During the summer before my freshman year of high school my mom insisted that I try something new to get involved. I decided to try tennis and my mom drove me to my first workout of the summer. I was extremely nervous when I realized that I barely knew anyone there. There was five seniors, two juniors, two sophomores, and me. I went to every practice and caught on really quick to a sport I had barely ever heard of. I usually played exhibition matches which helped me improve my game, but I…

amongst other teams which resulted in strong motivation to perform well. As a team member I contributed with quality work both in terms of decision making and data evidence to back up my rationale in the simulation. I communicated well with the other VP`s to ensure synergy in the organization and mitigate unnecessary risks. Additionally, I helped out in other areas with research to aid other members in making better decisions. At times the simulation was fairly complex and assisting my team…
