Volleyball

They were holding tryouts for seventh grade volleyball, I had never once even touched a volleyball before. I thought that I should just try out for fun. Tryouts went great and were fun to me. The last day we got a number, a number that would decide my fate for my seventh grade year. It would be put on a list and if you were…

Christian High School provides many opportunities for student involvement and excitement. Our athletic program is outstanding, I, in particular, participate in the volleyball program. Our school has teams for almost any fall, winter, and spring sport. The sports that get the most hyped up about are football, basketball, and volleyball. One of the tools we use to gain more hype is Eagle Nation, our schools student section organizer. This helps us take the hype of sports games from one level to…

said, “the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” One of the biggest setbacks and failures I had faced in my life was during my high school volleyball season of junior year. The kickoff of the season was quite simple: go to practice, earn a spot to start, and play hard. After I had succeeded in earning a spot on the varsity team I actually started as a bench player thus I didn’t earn the…

and tense for volleyball season to start because it is freshman year and i really didn’t know what to expect. She spent weeks helping me train and get ready for Conference season and for tournaments on the weekends. Also she helped me get ready for the different changes i would see going from middle school volleyball to high school volleyball. She prepared me and told me that it was going to be much harder than last year. All together, Brittan got me emotionally ready for volleyball season, and…

Perseverance, working hard, and being prepared are just some of the things I have learned from my dad. Today I’ll be talking about my dad whom I have known all my life. I hope to share with you that parents can be hard on you at times but they have your best interests at heart. My dad is a teacher, so he has all his summers off from work. This means that I always have someone to take me to the beach, the movies, or maybe just relax at home. Summers are my favorite time of year because my dad…

“wolly, distractible, girlish, and handicapped” (Lipsyte, 305). I would call myself a jock just because I was a 3-season athlete throughout high school. I was captain of my high school volleyball team and my senior year year was named “League All-Star”, along with multiple other awards. Along with playing volleyball all year around, I also played basketball and golf. I connected to this story when Lipsyte writes, “Kids are initiated in Jock Culture…

Something about helping others drew me in, so I knew a career in the medical field would be my best fit. It was not until a traumatic day in my life occurred that made me realize I was bound to be a nurse. I have played volleyball for five year, my senior year was not an exception. Volleyball was the only sport I played and my passion. Before games and school started, we had practice every morning, to get the team into shape. Only a few days into the start of the season, changed my whole…

reaction was that “if I like this campus at its worst, then I’ll love it at its best”. My goal for the weekend visit as to better understand Davidson as a school and to meet Coach Willis and the Wildcat volleyball team. The agenda was full of activities including auditing a history class, watching volleyball matches and practice sessions, and unstructured time with the players (and other students) helping me better appreciate the expectations of a student-athlete at Davidson. When I started…

was a great time since we could spend more time together on each others floor. My friends and I played volleyball, video games, and chilled throughout the time. It allowed us to decompress from all the stress we had throughout the week. Volleyball was a great way to get physically active after sitting all day in classes and modules. Many people came together and had a blast. After playing volleyball, we had ordered food since we were very hungry. While waiting for food we played video games and…

Everybody has a favorite sport. Sports are very educational. For one football is educational because it teaches you to be fit and live a healthy lifestyle.

You could enjoy these sports but you can also learn something from them. To begin with, football is the third in the ranking of the most athletic sport. It would be better if you were…
