Varsity team

The summer before my junior year I realized that I wanted to play on the varsity soccer team. Trying out for a varsity sport as a junior, with never having played on the junior varsity team as freshman or sophomore, was definitely a bold move. I was unsure if I had the courage to follow through and risk failure if I didn't make it. Encouraged by family and friends, I decided to give it a shot. When I first entered the information meeting in room 306, I immediately felt intimated INTIMIDATED seeing THE PLAYERS WHO HAD BEEN PLAYING TOGETHER for the last two years. It was the first time in awhile that I've felt like the "odd man out." IT WAS NOT a feeling that I particularly enjoyed. At the meeting, I learned about the workouts, open field practices and camp that I would need to participate in TO EVEN HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE THE TEAM. I had to ask myself if I was really willing to put this much time and effort into something where the outcome WAS UNCERTAIN AT BEST. After thinking about it and remembering how much I enjoyed playing, I decided to commit 100 percent to trying to secure a spot on the team. After all, I had been missing soccer since I WAS on my EIGHTH grade school team. At the first open field, that uncomfortable feeling came back. I WATCHED, AN OUTSIDER, FORMER TEAMMATES CATCHING UP WITH ONE ANOTHER,…

Sweat, hard work, adrenaline. These are all things I felt in a special “moment in time” that I shared with my varsity soccer team. The team consists of many different players but the to name a couple: undefeated in the league and only lost one game so far. Our next game is against our rivals, Port Alleghany. This is where the story begins. I arrive at the field ready to go, with music blasting in my ears and my white kit already on. In the locker room my team is pumped. I quickly get out on…

Throughout my life, I have had many instances in which I failed at something or I had messed up extremely bad. I can remember when I was in Guam and fell down on slippery rocks to forgetting to submit an assignment. Furthermore, during and even after these experiences I had learned something each time and I continue to learn from my mistakes and failures to this day and I plan to continue to learn something new for a very long time. However, I am able to recall one occurrence where something…

Playing on a high school varsity has changed my life. Basketball has shifted Cannon Falls High School incredibly. My first year playing varsity basketball there was 13 girls. This year there is only nine participating. It is a difficult switch, going against the same 9 girls every day at practice, knowing their moves, it gets boring. All the girls make playing enjoyable and each person gives out the urge to go on. Feeling how women did before Title IX, with so little number I am thankful for…

to fail at and then write about it, only one thing came to my mind – getting on the Squash Varsity Team. Before I detail what I learned during my rather arduous journey, I’d like to give some background on my abilities in this game and why this was an appropriate choice for this particular assignment. I started playing squash when I was ten years old. This is actually a few years earlier than when most people, who go on to become professionals, start playing the game. Within a few months I…

playing with all year. If you do that, if you leave it all on the ice, you can walk the halls tomorrow at school and feel proud of yourselves. Wear that jersey with pride tonight boys because this is your time.” My coach’s words were ringing through my head as I was on the bench waiting for my first shift. I couldn’t stop moving my legs when I was standing watching the puck drop. It’s as if they had a mind of their own and it was out of my control. My stomach felt like it was going to just…

him. The ball spun in the air with perfect backspin, and it splashed through the net as I shut my eyes. When I looked at the clock, its red lights flashed .5 seconds. “GOD DAMMIT!” I yelled furiously. Coach screamed at me to get the ball and heave it at the basket. I did, but half-heartedly. The buzzer went off, and the game was over. Ryan and the other guys ran up to me. “Hey, it’s alright, don’t worry about it,” said Ryan. I was mad at myself, because I know just a half second quicker could’ve…
