Varsity team Essays

I am a student in Lopez Early College High School and I am in the varsity football team. Last year in the 2014-2015 football season we the team went 0-10. That means that we went 0 wins and 10 losses. Last year we were a bunch of sophomores in the varsity team and as a team in general we were not experienced in playing in a varsity game, since we really went from the freshman football team straight to the varsity football team. I remember that when we played Los Fresno my sophomore we lost to them

Men’s Varsity Soccer team.” I still remember the words coming out of my high school coach’s mouth as he spoke to the new varsity team after tryouts. I was the shortest and one of the youngest players on the team, but my passion for the game was not any less than anyone on the team. I was one of the only three sophomores on the team with a team dominated by juniors and seniors. A sense of jubilation ran across my body while having a stomach full of butterflies was with me as we did our team cheer

Wind absorbing through my chest, heat running through my veins, the adrenaline rush. I step up to the line, ready to conquer the unknown, and every noise, even the sound of heat hitting the telephone poles, goes to a halt. All I can hear is the beating of my own heart, uncertain of what is to come. Then, out of nowhere, there is a forceful stampede of athletes, all having the same goal of not getting trampled. Brown smoke is arising from the earth's surface, making me gasp for air. Once it calms

hockey. All I ever wanted to do was be out on the field and become the best player I could be. Once high school started, I was scared that all of my hard work wasn’t going to be enough, so it made me work even harder. My goal was to become a starting varsity

My life has been full of many opportunities to participate in things that I love and these opportunities have taught me fabulous lessons. Through my persistent hard work in the Clark high school marching band I have been very fortunate to learn important lessons about positivity, service and respect. Being in my high school’s marching band has drastically changed my life for the better. I would not have made it through all the curve-balls that school has thrown at me had it not been for the marching

Homewood-Flossmoor varsity baseball team won Friday's home non-conference game against Marian Catholic High School by a close score of 7-6. Varsity Head Coach Todd Sippel felt the team didn’t play to their full potential and not being able to work on the field during practices due to rain really impacted the game, but a win is always the best payback. “It wasn’t perfect, but we got a victory. I’m very happy with the victory. We played good enough to win,” Varsity Head Coach Todd Sippel said. “It’s

Solomon, 15 years old and happier than ever, could not keep a smile off of his face. He had made the varsity basketball team and could finally play ball without the Sabbath being an issue. Solomon had been back and forth between public and private schools but the one thing that stayed constant was his love for God and his love for basketball. His siblings for the most part had always been in the Adventist school system and although that was home to Solomo, the one they attended was missing something

Ever wondered why children are so sure about what they want to busy themselves with? When it comes to outdoor sports, most kids have particular likes and dislikes which come very naturally to them. As parents, it’s up to you to nurture their talents or suggest suitable alternatives. But the general thumb rule is, let the child play as many games as he wants to before zeroing in on a few favourites. Only then can you go ahead with providing formal coaching to them in those sports. Come to think of

THE THEURKAUFS As I previously stated, The MIT Varsity Soccer Team sometimes played the first game of the season against The Harvard University Varsity team. But we always played the final game against The Coast Guard Academy team, alternating between Cambridge Mass and New London Connecticut. Tom Theurkauf was a member of the MIT team, and his mother was to my knowledge, the original Soccer Mom. She never missed a game either home or away. Being the final game of the season, we ended up at their

thrilling experience for me. To start out my freshman year I made the schools Varsity soccer team, a huge accomplishment for me. However, I was naïve to the coming situation to myself. I was on the path to continuous harassment from teammates as I was surrounded by seniors. Many of the seniors had egos, full of themselves in every aspect possible. It was a rude awakening to the reality of high school to be apart of this team as a freshman. In retrospect, I believe that my transition into high school

is ​As a senior in high school I was cut from my Varsity volleyball team. This had a huge affect on me, I was devastated. Anyone who knows me, knows that volleyball is my world. I was cut for being "uncoachable" which is an odd way of defining someone who has been a dedicated student-athlete for years. I sat on this for weeks, trying to figure out what I should do. I thought, is their anyway I could change the coaches mind? Is their someone I could talk to? I even took into consideration what I could

had made the varsity baseball team, I did not expect my coach to so bluntly tell me I would be spending more time watching the game than playing it. Our state ranked team had a pitching staff full of Division 1 commitments and future MLB draft picks, and I was being told I did not measure up. The bench became my best friend. The first game arrived, and expectedly, no playing time. Second game, same result. It did not take long for me to figure out that splinters, not the opposing team, would be my

concluded. I used to be a soccer player. Not a good one, I rode the bench throughout most of 7th and 8th grade on my school’s middle school team. At the end of 8th grade, it was time to sign up next fall’s sport’s teams. Instead of soccer, I wrote my name underneath 6 others

As a criminal justice major, I was able to take numerous courses that thoroughly analyzed the many aspects of our country’s prison system. These courses taught me that in a system where oppression is rampant, social injustice will also be prevalent. Particularly, the issues of death by incarceration, racial disparities and the prioritization of punitive measures rather than treatment filled me with an indescribable rage. Consequently, my frustration left me with a sense of disappointment and hopelessness

After having to play last string my freshman year and then held back from playing on the varsity team my sophomore year, I felt like clouds had finally parted when I received a starting spot on the varsity team my 11th grade year. I was overcome with joy and content because I felt like all of my hard work had finally paid off, but in one failed swoop I had lost everything I spent the past two years working toward. This was the biggest obstacle I have ever faced because I had to get back everything

not only how the events of joining the soccer team and living without my Dad for two years have affected my physical/health, social/friendship, familial, and self domains, but also the outcomes that were produced from these experiences. Joining the Varsity Soccer Team I have played soccer since I was about five years old, and ever since I was little, I remember watching older girls playing soccer and anxiously anticipating my turn to play for

I decided to exploit that talent and use it as bedrock to build my confidence and self-esteem. Having made the decision to turnaround my life, I intensely applied myself to the task of making the High School team. So I wasn’t surprised one-bit when I made the Varsity Tennis team at my high school. But my doubles partner who was assigned to me was younger to me, but with as much experience as me. I originally thought that he was a mediocre player, but to my astonishment, he was extremely adroit

LOST AND FOUND I'm running, puffing, slowly feeling a sharp pain in my stomach. It’s a stitch. I hate stitches. Whenever I run around the block with Phillip I always get a stitch, he tells me it is never an excuse to lose, this time I won't lose, I’ll beat him. I'm Jedda. I love to go outside and play with my mates, one of which is Phillip. He’s a bit chubbier than I am, plus he is very small, probably around 5’3. I’m only a couple inches bigger but at least I’m skinnier. We always take the

As a student, I have faced so many incoming obstacles in my life, that it is natural for myself. One of the bigger challenges that I have recently faced was almost getting cut by the Junior Varsity Tennis Team. This happened to me last year and I can remember it like it was yesterday. I am pretty sure I had other significant challenges that I have faced before, but this one tested my ability to work hard and keep myself motivated. Last year I was trying to find something different to do because
