Every athlete will come across a critic that will always have something to say about the way you play in a negative way. My soccer coach once told me in a game “Whatever brings you down, will eventually make you stronger.”; she made me realize that one ignorant person with negative feedback about me will be my motivation to do even better to prove him wrong. It was game day and my whole team was pumped. While walking in the school hallways, I would see my teammates with their jerseys on. We had this. We all would meet up at Depew to warm up. The other team came and so did the referees. The starters were called up by our coach and she gave us a pep talk. Our 2 captains from last year called the cheer. “RED-DEVILS-ON-THREE-1-2-3. DEVILSSS”; 10 of my teammates and I went up to our position to start. The referee blew the whistle and it was time to hiustle hard on the field. …show more content…

We worked our butts off and gave it our all. We came off up 1-0 and I had a huge thirst. I could remember my throat being very dry, the water rushing down my throat, and the sweat on my face rushing down. Our coach gave us a little pep talk and we went right back into the game. The second half started very intensely. I remember how intense the opponents tried to tackle me but I stood my ground as hard as I could. At one point I remember receiving the ball and getting kicked in the shin very hard. I felt the impact with the ground my hand grabbing my leg. As I opened my eyes, I saw my teammates and the other team took a knee. My coach helped me out while I heard the people clap and I heard someone laugh hysterically, but I didn't pay attention to it. Once I got off I wanted to go back even if I got kicked because defensive player must always stay strong, regardless of anything, for their team. I explained to my coach it's probably just a bruise. I lied to her, trying to play it off as it didn't hurt; I got put back

    I am very proud of all my achievements listed, but I am most proud of my achievements earned through my cheerleading career. I instantly fell in love with the sport of Allstar Cheerleading in the seventh grade after growing up as a competitive gymnast. Although before high school, I believe that it is worthwhile to mention the teams I was a part of in 2013. One of my teams won several province-wide and national competitions, including the CheerExpo National Championship, where we earned the second highest score of the entire competition with approximately 115 teams competing. In the same year, we also traveled to Ocean City, Maryland, where I competed at the Reach the Beach International Championship as a crossover on both high level teams.

The other team didn’t know what hit them. It was the half now and the score was three to nothing in our favor. Our couch told us that we needed to keep up the good work.

    When I first started cheering, I decided to participate because of two reasons: my mom forced me and my older sister, who I modeled after, cheered. As I got older and began to think for myself, I had engaged in cheer for so long that it became a habit. If my mom did not demand that I partake in cheer, I would not have been able to go through situations that sparked personal growth and knowledge. Cheerleading has given me opportunities to guide and interact with younger kids, which has influenced my decision to become a pediatrician.

    The play was "Red 334"which is a run to our halfback, me, out of our dive series. I crouched over the ball as I jetted past the quarterback and ran the play so we could observe the changes we needed to make. I let out a sigh of relief because we were finished with the most dreaded part of practice; well, only until someone complained about not knowing their job on one of our pass plays. Coach Nelson undoubtedly decided we needed to run through the final pass play before we perfected our defense. The play was quietly called in the huddle with intentions of getting it right. I ran the play through my mind while I tried to remember what the snap count was and what I was supposed to do for that play. The ball was snapped and I jolted to the left of our team's quarterback to set up his backside protection. Out of my peripheral vision, I noticed the defensive end raging toward the quarterback. I intensely stepped into him while lowering my body and exploded through his shoulder pads sending him stumbling into the line's pass protection.
