She suggests that injury can be a blessing in disguise, and that it is important to stop and listen to the body and recognize its limitations. She stresses that injury should not be seen as a burden, but as a helpful reminder. As a result, injury could act as a way of reordering an athlete’s life. Dancer Cora Bos-Kroese experienced a serious back injury and claimed that the injury “really made her think”, and she realized she could perform differently. She decided to start listening to her body and to work with it instead of against it.
Meet my Jazz band. This is a picture of us in New Orleans my junior year during spring break to play Jazz. I decided upon this picture because this band has had such a profound impact on how I frame my future. My connection with music through the piano has been fostered ever since I could reach those shiny black and white collection of keys.

Look around the room ,do you see anyone who looks the same?You shouldn’t, no one is the same.

I am really competitive dancer. I have been competing since last year and ever since then I’ve been pushed.
So much has happened to me in my 14 years of living! I’ve changed schools twice, made the Rocky Mountain Ballroom team, and met my best friends ever in the 2nd grade. So much more has happened in my life but these are some of the best things! All of these have helped me get through thick and thin. Changing schools the first time was pretty rough.
“Growing support within the sport sciences recommends early diversification over specialization to aid general locomotor and psychological skills… One theory developed by the use of Darwinian thought suggests genetically gifted athletes in their youth possess the inherent characteristics to positively adapt to the training loads during growth and maturation” (Sobash, #). Presenting this knowledge to the reader expands on the idea that early-aged dance competitions negatively affects psychological development, and that children may already be naturally talented in their pursued field of training. Additionally, the writer presents positive solutions to the issue such as “if instructors and parents can build up resiliency factors, a young person can positively develop instead of abnormally in the face of stressors” (Sobash, #). Contrasting the theories and scientific research that supports this article, the lack of pathos may hurt the writer’s standpoint when analyzing the paper rhetorically.
Throughout my high school career, there is only one major thing that has affected my entire life, including my educational performance and that is marching band. The marching band at my high school is one of the most well respected programs in my district. In eighth grade, I decided to audition for color guard. And when I made the team, I became apart of the marching band. That year, my entire life changed.
“[My dance instructor] Cindy believed that ballet was richer when it embraced diverse shapes and cultures. There would be times in my career when I would struggle to remember that, but I would eventually come back to that conviction, that the stage on which I performed was brighter for having me, even if some in the audience or dancing beside didn 't always agree” (“Misty Copeland
I was under the pressure of preparing for the lead role in my skating rink’s adaptation of the Nutcracker and my Novice skating tests. During my sessions, I focused on my weaknesses and spent several hours a day practicing my jumps. However, training multiple hours a day and repeating that process
Review of Literature Name: Elena Keretses Topic: Energy Availability in Female Ballet Dancers Need to add back in search strategies 1. Introduction Ballet is an art that puts major emphasis on the beauty and fluid movements of the body.1 Ballet is focused on appearance and constant critique or correction of that appearance. This concern with aesthetics can lead to a preoccupation of body image in a dancer. The benefits of physical activity are greatly understood and accepted.
This night I rode with Officer Innocent. Unlike the other officers I rode with he is closer to my age and could give me a lit bit more of feedback on where I am in my career and plans. Most of the night was working security at the Dance Marathon on Livingston at the RAC. Mostly we just walked around and watched students and if we got a call we headed out. However, at least from the looks of the night everybody who was out was at this Dance Marathon so the night was a little slow.
The 6th Grade Dance was lit. The 6th grade dance was lit. As I walked in the gym I saw my friends. So I winked at them. I went over to them and I saw Alexa.

When student-athletes sustain significant injuries, such as knee injuries associated with time loss from sport, they can suffer both physically as well as emotionally with a decrease in their quality of
One day I was at my gymnastics meet, it had lots of equipment pushed and stacked against the walls. I had my Leotard on that had ¾ inch sleeves and lots of sparkles and I love the sparkles. My mom was the loudest one in the stands. “GO LILY!”
From this point on, I realized that I would never be in sports or participate the same way I had before. With these injuries, it resulted in months of physical therapy – almost daily at some points. However, I had the privilege of working with the same physical therapist, whose compassion, expertise, and dedication not only made my recovery possible, but also ignited my passion to become a physical therapist myself. This period, as painful as it was, was the spark for
