In the panyee football club movie the team shows determination and hard work by making their own pitch, not having support, and most of all entering the semi final. The panyee football ball is about a group of boys that have always looked up to players that play football. When the boys were younger, one of them had an idea to play.

When one of the boys had an idea to form their own soccer team. The boys were so excited to make their own team and be able to practice. When one of the villagers heard their plan of wanting to become champions he said, “ What are you nosy kids doing? You are scaring all the fish away!” The villagers were not happy with their plan and when the kids told them they wanted to become football champions, The villagers didn't support them and just kept on telling them “Look where you live” “Look around you” The boys knew that it would take a lot of work to accomplish this but they didn't let their dreams go and they were determined to become champions. Even if there villagers didn't support them, they didn't let that distract them from becoming champions. The villagers were always making fun if they. One day after the boys found a space to practice the villagers were calling them out saying, “You don't become champions on that thing” The Villagers didn't believe in the boys but the boys still believe in themselves. The panyee football club was a very important team that showed lots of lessons like being determined and not letting anything stop you from following your dreams. Another reason the panyee football team shows determination by making their own pitch.
When all the boys decided that they wanted to create and make their own football team. When the boys wanted to start practicing to be champions they realized they needed a space to practice. The boys said, “ We figured we had to create our own space” This shows that when the boys didn't have enough room they didn't give up. instead they found a solution to build their own pitch. The boys were so hardworking, so they started to, “ collect old wood and tie fishing nets together to make goals. The boys were determined to have a team so they used old items instead of just letting go of what they wanted to accomplish. Finally, when the boys finished building the pitch they said, “ It was shaky, uneven, and had nails sticking out everywhere.” The boys tried very hard to build it and even though it wasn't perfect they still liked it the way it was. Their pitch had to be built on floating wood which caused it harder for the boys to practice. They said, “ The ball often went into the water… and so did we.” The Boys show how they did have a hard time practicing, but it was also in advantage because they got better footwork and learned how to keep the ball in a small surface. I think that the panyee boys were determined because they didn't let their surroundings let them quite. The boys formed a team and stuck to the plan that they had from the beginning The panyee boys showed lots of
determination and this is one reason why. Lastly and most of all the panyee football club showed determination by going to the semi final. When the panyee football buys got a letter from the mainland saying that they have been accepted to come for a one day tournament.

When they started theri first game thsi is what the boys said, “ The semi final started badly. It was raining heavily and the other team was really good.
Students should read this book in a high school English classroom because it demonstrates how relationships can be difficult, but teamwork can help to solve many issues. Hutch realized that it would not help his team to continue fighting with Darryl and by being mad at his father. He was able to take those difficult relationships and form them into positive outcomes and achieve his goal. After winning the championship game, “Hutch made his way through his teammates, and up through the stands and did something he had not done in a very long time: Hutch hugged his father. And his father hugged him back” (Lupica 243). This proves to students that if they continue to work hard and focus on a goal, they can achieve it by being a team player on and off the field.

An example of this is in the essay Confessions of a doper by Jonathan Vaughters. When playing sports you have to have the “resolve” to do it as said in the essay.(8) Physical strength is not only physical ability but also, self centeredness. For those who do not have much physical prowess in sports, the mind evens the playing field. The mind opens up opportunities where we once believed there were none. With critical thinking we can overwhelm even the most worthy opponents. There are some methods of self defense that do not matter if you are the smallest in your class or age group. Tickery, mind games and quick thinking let you outsmart most

Gatsby threw extravagant parties with an abundance of alcohol and a variety of people. People would drive hundreds of miles to attend one of Jay Gatsby’s parties. He would never participate in any of his parties, however, so no one knew him. One may ask: Why would he spend so much money on parties he did not even participate in? The answer is that he would stand on the balcony looking over his unknown party guests hoping Daisy would show up one evening. Gatsby was very determined to get the attention of Daisy, and he believed by throwing these parties he would do so. He was so anxious to see her; he had his neighbor Nick invite her over one afternoon. He had been very nervous and wanted eve...

And that achievement can make you feel like a champion”, (Kurtus 2), the text
A proper coaching philosophy contains principles which improve character development, teach step by step tactical and technical skills, form proper progressive physical training regimens, and carefully utilize team management to handle and control problems with administrative issues.
