When I first joined the Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps at my new school, I had no idea what I getting myself into nor what my future would entail. One day, my close friend of mine suggested me to attend one their practices – so I did. Upon my entrance, my eyes were opened to a completely different environment, something that I had never experienced before. The moment I open the door, I saw both males and females screaming at the top of their lungs in their attempt to do as many pushups
My sophomore year of high school I played on the Junior Varsity volleyball team. We began preparing for the season by doing two-a-days the first week of August. We worked out hard the first two weeks then had our first scrimmage that next Friday. We won the scrimmage, but it was a pretty messy game. It was like we were all doing our best individually, but we were not working together as a team. The court was silent during each play and each time somebody messed up the rest of the team got mad at
Being not only able to understand the emotions that others express but being able to react and assist in anyway possible is essential if you desire to be looked up to and appreciated as a leader. During my freshman year, I was the captain of my junior varsity soccer team and strong emotional intelligence was necessary. As the season went on I found myself in situations where I had to understand my teammates emotions and I had to react accordingly in order to ensure they could grow from the situation
started as a forward on their junior varsity team. As the season went on the varsity coach noticed my aggressiveness and moved me up to play with our varsity team. To be picked out of all the girls on the team I can’t tell you of a better feeling of self-pride. Then as a sophomore I transferred to Hackensack High School. There, I again started as a forward for their junior varsity team. Later into the season I was brought up to practice with varsity. I practiced with varsity but only played in a couple
In high school being on a varsity sports team is viewed as very admirable and impressive. Since my freshman year of high school, I have been on the lady Viking junior varsity soccer team. The junior varsity team is very talented and has many great qualities, however, most of the team is underclassmen. Coach Hartman, although I would be very grateful to be on either team, I should make varsity this year due to my physical and academic performance, will to improve, and team leadership qualities.
impacts the outlook others have about you. One major change, I continue to experience is the transition both athletically and academically from sophomore to junior year. Previously, I have heard the position from many of my peers that junior year is the hardest year at Gonzaga. I now second this belief. The struggles I continue to experience junior year both academically and athletically supremely outweigh those I encountered last year. I am a two- sport athlete, but what i regard and cherish most
rest of my junior year and all of senior year. “Hands on your hips, a smile on your lips, spirit in your heart, let’s start,” plays through my mind as the judges stare at you and the person with whom you are trying out. This journey begins several hours before, at the beginning of the day. For several people, it was a typical Thursday. People were thinking about how close it was to the weekend and what they were going to do. For about twenty-one girls, with high hopes of making the varsity cheer team

Throughout High School so far, I have participated in Freshman year of varsity basketball. Throughout freshman year of basketball, I had a position on the varsity team, and was the only freshman
commitment by far was playing on the varsity field hockey team. I began playing field hockey in the fifth grade and took a great liking to the sport. As an incoming freshman to my new high school where I did not know many people, I decided to try out for the field hockey team in hopes of meeting new people and making a few friends before the official start of school. After a grueling week of tryouts in the heat of August, I found out that I had made the junior varsity team, and I could not have been more
For example someone that I know like this is a man named Justin Brantly. He ran an off-season workout program specified for whatever sport you were looking to train for, a lot of my friends went to him for football in the off-season after their junior varsity year in tenth grade. They went and worked hard every day for a few months out of the summer being pushed to do their best by Brantly, he
the amount of goals I scored and the amount of time I played. I have played soccer since I was five and ever since I started high school my soccer career has been filled with struggles. During my Freshman year of highschool I failed to make the Junior Varsity (JV)team. This was an eyeopener for me because just four months earlier I had been starting on my middle school team. I realized my failure to make the team had been caused by my over confidence which led me to not workout and train over the summer
Dania Fadel Block:7 Junior varsity...Whatt?? On the first day of my freshman year I met my friend Elizabeth...I could 've sworn her name was Elizabeth, she looked like and Elizabeth but her name was Isabella which only took me two weeks to get. It didn 't take long before our friendship got a lot stronger and we soon began to do everything together- homework, shopping, and even sports. Badminton, a sport I have never played but have
unusual dilemma in forming Junior Varsity(JV) and Varsity(V) teams. Though he had selected best rowers for Varsity team, still they were always defeated by Junior Varsity team. National Championship is within a week and he needs to decide which team he can send to participate with over 100 schools participating in it. After reading the HBR article “The Army Crew Team” by Jeffrey T. Polzer, I believe that Coach P. should intervene to improve the performance of Varsity team and if he could not
play varsity football and basketball, it changed my life by causing me to think differently and act differently, and it taught me the importance of working as a team with the people around me. In my freshman year of high school, before I started playing varsity football, I was a bit of a clown, and I was childish, and my work ethic was horrible. I stayed home all summer not doing anything, I did not lift nor did I do any type of physical activity. I thought I was just going to be on varsity and football
winner or a loser but if we would have we would have won. The last Volleyball tournament we went to was in Buena Vista, it was a two day camp. The Varsity team got to ride up in the RV with our coach, it was an exciting and new experience. Junior Varsity and Varsity got to go and play, the Varsity team played the first day and the Junior Varsity team got to go rafting. We made it to the championship but was not able to pull out the win. That night our whole team go to stay the night in the gym

to collapse. But I never quit I worked and hard and kept at it, kept grinding and the improvements I saw were tremendously drastic. The disappointment that fueled this drastic improvements was getting cut from junior varsity. Going into the 9th grade that summer I tried out for junior varsity with the mentality that I would automatically make it, I was sadly mistaken, I made it all the way the finals cuts and the coach called me into his office to tell me that I had been cut down to freshman.
My first time that I swam the race, I went a 1:19 which was really bad compared to what I can do now. I was steadily improving every meet. Moving from the bottom of junior varsity to the top of junior varsity. Towards the end of junior varsity season I was the best butterflier on JV. There was one spot open on varsity for the 100 butterfly to swim at the conference and section meet. There were a couple girls that had a chance at getting the spot. To get the spot our coach had us do a time
Basketball has been my lifelong passion. I have had basketball on my mind ever since I can remember. I have always played basketball. Due to it being a part of who I am, I had to maintain my strength and endure despite a setback that changed my life in my junior year of high school. As the late great Ermias “Nipsey Hussle” Asghedom famously said in his song “Dedication”, “Minor setback for major comeback.” I have only played within AAU for three years, but I was on the same squad the first two. Some of my
within, but rather what the individuals can come together to achieve. For so long I had tried to discover where I belonged on the team. In reality, I should have realized that from the moment I stepped on the court, I was already a member of the varsity team. With a newfound sense of strength, we continued the game. Every single point we won felt like we were putting our lives on the line, while every single point we lost felt like ten-ton chains were holding us down. Even so, it was just another
