Varsity team

life, help you recover from, and make you realize that if you apply yourself you have a greater chance at accomplishing your goals. One of the biggest times of failure in my life was my sophomore year on the Lewisville Varsity Wrestling team. It was my first year on the Varsity team and i had…

During my junior year of high school, one of my friends who wrestled for the school talked me into joining the team. I knew nothing about the sport, but decided to join the team anyway. I bought myself wrestling shoes and headgear and went to the first wrestling practice of the season. The wrestling room reeked of sweat and was relatively small. An old maroon rubber mat covered the entire floor, just as dirt covered all the windows. I put my wrestling shoes on and started practice. Within…

play together and begin growing together as a team and they will begin to have a rhythm. Like any player on a team each student will want to be the best player and will begin to take extra time to get better and because the students would not be discriminated against there would be no players that “played like a girl’ or that were only good players because they were “tomboys.” Students would all be measured with the same skills and would then grow as a team. Sports that are typically dominated…

life whether that's the classroom, clubs, or at home but the place where I show the most leadership is the sports field. Of the two sports seasons so far this year I have been on Junior Varsity and Varsity for both of them and during Track in the spring there is only Junior Varsity and Varsity, no Freshman teams. During the final day of volleyball tryouts we had a "conditioning day" where we would rotate through stations with a different exercise routine at each and one station was a coaches…

Illinois University. James’ four years on DGS varsity volleyball and participation in First Alliance Club Volleyball have led to her recruitment to play volleyball at the D1 level. With 226 kills, 48 aces and 171 digs during just this DGS volleyball season, James has some of the best statistics on the team. As a captain, James’ has a lot of responsibilities and “the team counts on her a lot more than they maybe did when she was in club season,” DGS girls varsity volleyball coach Trisha Kurth…

football is something that can’t be just described in just a couple of words. When you go to a High School football game in Texas you can see faithful supporters filling the stands which are waving their hands and homemade signs in support of their team. You hear the cheers and screams from the crowd. You can smell the hot dogs, burgers, pizza, pretzels, and popcorn from the concession stands. The marching band playing loud to match the noise and energy of the crowd. This memory could not be…

volleyball camp, where my skills increased exponentially. Back at home, I went to every open gym and beach volleyball session the varsity team provided. I wanted to prove that I was capable of playing at a high school level. Because of these efforts, the following school year I was placed on the varsity volleyball team. During the last four years I spent on this team, I have grown not only as a volleyball player but also as a leader. Though starting…

all time needed coaching to make him and the team better. This is where the famous saying, “There is no I in team,” even the great Michael Jordan needed help and he didn’t get that help until Phil Jackson became the coach of the Chicago Bulls and with their new found team they won three straight championships, then Jordan retired, and came back and won three more straight championships which just shows coachability is very important to a winning team. On page 38 of my book it states, “It wasn’t…

unknown. Joining the boy’s soccer team altered my perception of what I could achieve. The summer before my freshman year I tried out for soccer and made the freshman team. I was somewhat disappointed, but was determined to show my coaches I had the skills it took to be at least on the junior varsity team. During the first practice, I showed leadership and the drive to want learn more on the field. As a result, I was elected Captain of the boy’s freshman soccer team. Not only was I…
