Varsity team

improve my game and become the key player my team needed me to be. During my junior season, I found myself starting on a top four state ranked team. I was the Floor Captain, known for my composure when situations became tough, ability to produce plays in decisive moments, and the spirit, passion, and heart I played every point of the game with. Late in the season during the state quarterfinals, I found myself back on the service line for match point to send my team to the state semifinals. The…

Which is more beneficial, team sports or individual sports? When comparing team and individual sports, most people do not realize how easy it is to pick out the similarities and differences the two have. Individual and team sports have the same main purpose, but the motivation, competitiveness, and life skills set them apart. In athletics, most athletes set goals for themselves, whether it is a personal goal or a team goal. It is pretty easy to set a goal, but the person setting the goal may…

Student Athletes Success isn’t given. It's earned. On the track, on the field, in the gym. With blood, sweat, and the occasional tear. Most every athlete loves the game, and is willing to work their butt off, from being on the B team going to the A team, from jv to varsity, from high school to college. They all dream of that college scholarship that they may or not receive. What happens when they get there? They no longer have their mommies and daddies paying for every little thing. They…

It’s not often I anticipate letters in the mail, but this was how our school notified students of varsity sports tryout results. Our school fields highly competitive teams in all sports and soccer ranks as one of the most difficult teams to make. Thirty of my classmates were in the same situation, waiting on the same day at their mailboxes. My heart raced when I found “Riley Bonifer” in the middle of that envelope and the school address in the corner. My hands shook as I peeled back the flap for…

summer I worked with my friend Imanol practicing hard to make sure we made the team. Our hard work payed off and we both made the team. The upcoming season was the going to be the best and worst season I’ve ever had. Sectionals were right around the corner. Although I was only a JV player, my friend Anthony and I volunteered to film for couch; we each got paid five dollars per game. Since we had to watch the varsity games…

There’s No I In Team Ever since I was a little girl I’ve been in volleyball. I’ve met and played with many other teammates. I’ve also learned from them, even when we we’re different we would put aside our differences and bring teamwork to the table. Number one rule in being different is to never give up on yourself or change. All my life I’ve learned to interact with teammates that are very different from me. They have different ways of seeing things, their attitudes, their teamwork, etc.…

the game as an individual, but by being a team player. Teamwork is something that a local high school varsity hockey team could use to win its first-ever Wickenheiser cup. According to the championship coaches network website, championships are won by what is called the seven C’s of Championships: common goal, commitment, complementary roles, clear communication, constructive conflict, cohesion, and credible coaching. According to this website, if a team, including the Parkway West…

started playing soccer, and at ten I knew I wanted to play in college. Soccer has been a huge part of my life for twelve years now, growing up I had always played defense and loved it. When eighth grade came around, my travel team needed a goalie, I decided to take one for the team and become our goalie for that season instead of playing my usual position. Playing goalie was never my first choice, but I knew that I had to do it if I wanted to play soccer that season, so I asked my brother to…

teammates. Even though swimming is an individual sport, it is also a team sport. Waking up at 5:00 in the morning for a two-hour morning workout isn’t something that anyone can do. Having a team there to be encouraging is what gets us through the season; so naturally we become very close. This year New Trier Girls Swimming and Diving is doing a different form of leadership. We have a leadership counsel so more people can speak for the team based on what they see. Not just four people, in the…
