In my lifetime many memories are contiuing to be made with family,friends,and teammates. Memories that are going to stay with me for a life time. When looking back to my memories there are many memories that I wish that I don’t remember. Also their are many that I wish that I can go back in time and relive the moment. Form the handful of memories that I have made in high school so far there is one that I can’t get out of my head. All from taking a PE game too seriously.

To start off let me give you a idea on how I let it go out of hand in the first place. From a young age I did not like the idea of losing. For example when I was in kindergarten we had a jog-a-thon and I self competed with myself on how many laps I could run. When Entering Jr. high I could see that there's two types of kids in PE class. The kids who are competitive and the kids who decide who won’t take part in class. And I knew I was a kid who is competitive and always wanted to be on the winning team.

From going to Jr. High to High school I could see a change on people changed in a …show more content…

How the kids who were competitive are would like to argue with each other when it came to playing. After that first time playing with advance PE class everyone had a fire in them to win. There is only one game in me that is arguable the class favorite game is super kick ball. When it comes to this game everyone get excited to play. From recitney playing with the advance PE class everyone was in the competitive state to play. Mr. Tripp likes to even out the teams because we have a handful of kids who are in volved with sports in our class. When he split up the team we each had someone that we always play against each other when it comes to other PE games. For example Nick and Tristan have a friendly competitions with each other and so do I with Kayla. I knew it was going to be a good game because Tristan and Kayla were one team and on the Nick and I we on the

    For instance, I am a competition dancer. Going to different competitions you can see the differences in the way the dancers, teachers, judges, and moms view outcomes. The teachers just want you to do your best because no matter the placement received you had fun. When you are on a team, you want your team as a whole group to compete with other teams not each other. You see this with other sports too, such as baseball, basketball, soccer, etc. where kids try to outperform their teammates. This poses risks such as “loss of self-esteem, injuries… increased stress.” (Berger, pg. 245, 2014) However Active play and competition do not only pose risks they contribute to the following as well “Better overall health, less obesity… respect for teammates and opponents.” (Berger, pg. 245, 2014)

    Each game, my passion grew. Each team, new memories and lifelong friends were made. Sports sometimes make me feel disappointment and at loss; but it taught me to be resilient to a lot of things, like how to thrive under pressure and come out on top. Being the team captain of my high school’s football and lacrosse team showed me how having a big responsibility to bring a group together to work as one is compared to many situations in life. Currently playing varsity football, varsity lacrosse, and track I take great pride in the activities I do. Staying on top of my academics, being duel enrolled at Indian River State College, working three nights a week, and two different sport practices after school each day shaped my character to having a hard work

  • Sports and Sportsmanship

    1021 Words  | 3 Pages

    Jeff Kemp, a retired professional NFL quarterback, once stated, “Sports teach positive lessons that enrich America even while revealing its flaws” (Kemp). Athletics offer so much more than the joy of game day and the thrill of a win. Being involved in sports holds the key to a world filled with passion, excitement, and once in a lifetime opportunities. There is nothing better than seeing the student section arrive in full force or hearing the school fight song chanted before kickoff. However, when life moves on and leaves sports behind, the lessons it has instilled in athletes never disappears. The play calls may be foggy and the jersey will be too tight, but what was innocently learned in the jersey shines out at an older age. Although life lessons can be learned through everyday activities, lessons such as teamwork, self-confidence, and dealing with failure are only truly learned through sports by young athletes.
