Through soccer, teachers, students, and parents, have come together to form a family-like bond. Because of the lack of funding my school does not have the luxury of having multiple sports. Thus, preventing us from having a soccer team. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about my teachers, it is that they love soccer. One day four friends, a teacher, and I came together and thought about hosting a family soccer game. The game was a hit. We had nearly thirty people show up to play. Due to the mass success, we decided to make it a weekly thing. Since then, my school rents out our local indoor soccer field every Friday to play soccer. There’s nothing like being kicked square in the face by your math teacher. Though this may all seem cliché, Friday
Today I am taking a break from the series of articles I usually write, to bring you a subject I have thought about for a long time. I only started paying attention to wrestling in my teen years, so the "Attitude Era" was what I considered wrestling. I won't go into what made the era special, because that would be insulting to your intelligence, everyone knows what made the era successful, and why some fans still pine for it. Needless to say, it was "cool", it suited the times, and it broke the mold formed over the previous decades.
What is the most popular sport in America? The most popular sport in America would be the rugged game of football. Millions of fans wait in anticipation each year for the season to begin. The truth is the game is a very dangerous sport. It’s rooted with violence and physical aggression. Players are groomed from their youth to get bigger, faster, and stronger. Football is geared toward physical domination, get your opponent before he gets you with tackling, hitting, or by any means necessary, take them out before they take you out. Bones are broken, internal organs rupture, concussions are frequent and occasionally players die. Is the game worth the price? Is a human life worth less than monetary gain or entertainment? The answer
Cheerleading isn’t a sport. Loads of cheerleaders have faced this controversial statement. An image of peppy girls, twirling in short skirts for the football team fills most people’s minds when considering the topic of cheerleading. The truth is, we are a strong team that works together to lift each other up, literally. Although we work day in and day out to perfect our stunts, tumbling, and routines, our talent still goes unnoticed by our peers. Negative stereotypes often surround cheerleaders. In my high school, we constantly battle to gain the respect of our classmates not just as athletes, but even simply as people. Some of the most involved and highest ranked students in our school make up our cheerleading squad, but those traits are forgotten
The choice of popularity, or being a normal kid, is a predicament a lot of young teens find themselves in nowadays due to high school football. Football seems to be the biggest and coolest sport in most high schools. Some schools go as far as having parades and pep rallies before games. While other sports just get a morning announcement. But what comes along with the popular high school sport, isn’t so great. Football should be banned from American high schools because it comes with a lot of pain both physically and mentally, it puts loads of pure pressure on incoming students, and it promotes pain over pleasure.
Have you ever gotten a trophy for just participating? Well, participation trophies are teaching kids the wrong message. Kids need to learn how to work hard for what they want, kids also need to see that you can’t always get a trophy for third place. We can not teach kids that they always will get rewarded for losing. Most kids don’t want a trophy for losing. They want to get a trophy for being the best. Do you really want a trophy for just for participating think about it.
Many people say that cheerleading is, or is not a sport, is it? If you were wondering, it is a sport. Cheerleading has many things to make it a sport, and plenty of things to make it not a sport. Cheerleading has competitions, gymnastics, and people say it will be in the Olympics. There are many types of cheerleading in different forms. People have their say on this, but I am going to explain to you how it is a sport.
Some schools force students to participate in organized school sports. However, I believe that schools should not make this a requirement. Some students may have medical conditions, family situations that don't allow them to participate in organized school sports, or they simply may not have the time.
I went into my junior spring soccer season kind of sad, my past coach, wasn't going to be our team coach this year. I wasn't really depressed though, because I had tons of friends that were playing this year. One of the great things about soccer is that it is not a school-sanctioned sport. To me this said that I was able to play another season of soccer with my friends from Paonia and Hotchkiss without the normal High School rivalry between these schools. Year after year, the schools pulled pranks on each other, sometimes nothing big, but sometimes something big. I remember my freshman or sophomore year, when a few guys I knew went over to Paonia and painted their skylight in their commons. When the sun shined into the skylight, it reflected a big HHS onto the floor, talk about a cool prank, but hey they got a free vacation but the school had to pay a ton of money to clean it up.
Soccer is the world’s most popular and recognizable sport. Almost everyone in the world knows what soccer is and how it is played. “The FIFA World Cup is the world's most widely viewed sporting event; an estimated 715.1 million people watched the final match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup” (FIFA World Cup). Soccer is fun for all ages and can bring people together in many ways. BCC should start a soccer program because it will bring in revenue for the school, it will get more people to come to the school, and it is an outlet for students.
One of the most significant reasons that travel softball is better than summer league softball is the convenience for a travel softball player to make new friends and meet new people. A softball player has to be a very social person on and off of the softball diamond because coming together as a team is an important part of any sport especially in travel softball when a player might play with eight other girls that she has never met. The players have to communicate with college coaches if they have high intentions on playing softball at the college level. A travel softball player is constantly attending camps, clinics, showcases, and tournaments in different states which allows them to meet other athletes and coaches from across the United
Have you ever had those moments where you are feeling unmotivated or zero energy to workout? I will be the first to tell you I have had these moments. Being involved in the fitness world, I love every aspect of fitness. For the past 5 years, I was working out 5 days a week and had my ups and downs with results. I am guilty of it, I would pick up a workout magazine and try out this crazy workout and just destroy my body. Sure, I saw some results but I was becoming more and more tired throughout the day. On top of that, I was only getting 5 hours of sleep and not eating appropriately to refuel my body. I know stupid right? I am human and I am not perfect!
It 's been outrageous , how many kids get injured per year playing youth sports for school and organizations. The youth who play sports receive plenty medical attention throughout the year due to injuries cause from actions made occuring in games. Health plays a big part in sports because if your are are not healthy many things can go wrong with the body including dehydration, heart problems , and muscle spasm. Playing a sport can be very hard to juggle with school and also getting talked down by coaches and parents. Dehydration is a high possibility because of outside sports that happen in the spring/summer and playing and practicing in humid conditions that you are not well prepared for can be bad and there will be consequences. Parents and
In my hometown, people don’t have a lot of extra money to spend. Most children have the bare minimum of what they need. A large majority of my community is Hispanic and soccer is a very big deal at the high school level. Every little boy grows up wanting to play for the high school team. I was home visiting some friends, when we decided to go to the soccer field. We were shooting around for about half an hour when some younger boys showed up. I didn’t know them but my friends did. We shot around with them and played a few games of world cup. That’s when I noticed one of the boys had cleats with holes in them.
How often do we hear video games are bad for our kids? If you simply google “video games controversy” the results are absolutely polarized articles by major news sources. They are, according to many opponents, at fault for violence and the waning attention span and intelligence of our country 's children. However, there is no real scientific evidence of this. Actually the contrary is true according to Daphne Bavelier of the Bavelier lab of University of Geneva and a cognitive neuroscientist. Bavelier addresses this topic in a positive and scientific light. Her research is posed as how can video games benefit us; rather than how they hurt us. Bavelier uses a variety of methods to appeal to her audience in her engaging speech on video games
I'm going to respond to the view of sport as foul and as a thing that separates people. I think that sport does not always have to be a negative thing. Sport can act as a unifier between many people around the world supporting the same team. My speech is going to show the other side of the argument.
