Life is full of experiences and it is these experiences that influence the development of a person. Some of these experiences have a positive effect and others have a negative effect. I can truly say that ringette has been one of the most positive and influential experiences in my life. I have been playing ringette since I was six years old and now twelve years later, I could not imagine my life without ringette. I have grown up with ringette and it has made a significant impact on my personal development. First, my physical development has been influenced as I have seen the importance of physical activity through ringette.

Each one of us can leave a mark in this world and that is all conducted by effort. This was the message that Ray Lewis conveyed to the Stanford mens basketball team in a pre game speech. He went further into stating that no one can judge effort nor see it displayed on film because everyday people have to bring it. Being ok with being mediocre is unacceptable and that the men must strive for greatness. Ray Lewis, the speaker of this speech, is very famously known for being the best linebacker in NFL history for the Baltimore Ravens. He was always the man people would see on television pumping up his whole team and he was the teams biggest leader. For that reason being said, he gives many motivational speeches to teams. This speech was given

The foundation of the house is what will set the course for the piece that follows. The groundwork that my parents and ancestors have laid out for me to follow and guide me onto the right path. On both sides of my family, the major cornerstones are to serve and or give back to your country. Every male in my family in the past century has been involved in the military or served the country to assist those who serve. My dad’s father fought in the Korean War, while my father himself had fought in the Vietnam War. After the military, my father continued his service to his country in a different form. He became a California Highway Patrol Officer. My mother’s grandfather had volunteered

For most of my childhood, the sport of baseball was the one activity I loved above anything else. Nothing could compare to the exhilarating freedom and satisfaction of bolting full speed around the bases, determined to steal 2nd, beating the "Throwdown" by a fraction of a second. The massive dust cloud kicked up by my cleats and the thunderous boom of the umpire shouting, "Safe!" made me feel empowered.

Until this day Americans still remember the teeth grinding 1980 Olympics Hockey game or some people called it the Miracle On Ice. During 1980, The Soviets were overall ranked hockey team and said from the beginning to win the Olympics, as they had six of the seven previous years. The U.S. had their chance come up in the final round, a one on one match battling until the end. It was all down to their skill and fight, and push through till the end. Coach Herb Brooks was the one to give the U.S.A. team their fight with his prominent speech at halftime. In Coach Brooks speech he first states the hard work and effort the team has brought through the Olympics, then he gives an overview of how the got to where they are now. Being the coach of the U.S.A team he does not state his credibility, but uses dialect to give a casual tone. Coach Brooks then adds how the outcome today will accept weather at a lost or won. He talks about the tryouts and how he had already picked the team before he even watched them play, implying that he already trusted his team before they ever met. After Coach, brooks end by saying that just because the people say that the Soviets are unbeatable doesn't make it true.

“ sports do not build character they reveal it “. Once i was a little girl my sister played softball and i thought what the heck i should try it. Once I tried out softball after my first game I was hooked and i had to play until my softball career was over and started playing travel ball and play in college. “ ever since my sister played softball i wanted to because i wanted to be her and be as good as her and i did become just like her “.

As a young minority male with two African-born parents who received zero education, acceptations were high at a young age. When I was five years old I attended PS 156 elementary school. The school had poor academic grades and eventually shut down after receiving a F. I always managed to maintain mostly As and was consistently top of my classes. I loved school and hated to see it end. When I was in fourth grade I maintained a high grade even though it was sort of a middle school atmosphere. My teacher recommended me to attend KIPP Academy Middle School due to my proficiency in public school. KIPP challenged my work ethic and showed me that oneself needs more than brute intelligence to be successful. I struggled when I first arrived because I

Good coaches are always known for their quotes. Coaches have that drive, same as their students, when it comes to sports. Sports are a big thing in the U.S. (United States) because so many people get hyped even if they are not in the game. Playing sports is almost like battling in a war especially in football. Without it he or she would be lost. Let’s face it, there could be more teen pregnancies if there were no sports. It almost keeps he or she checked, making sure that the individual won’t do something drastically. How could anyone live without sports ? I know couldn’t. Well...I actually could because I have God on my side but that is a different discussion. A famous football coach stated that, “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.”, which can be agreed through facts through sports, jobs, and life circumstances.

It’s not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference - Bear Bryant. Many different sports are in this world, including soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, baseball, basketball, but two sports I enjoy watching are rugby and American football. Two sports that so many people love in this world. When you think of football you think of your favorite team. When you think of rugby you can’t think of anything because not many people in the USA watch it or play it. But did you know American football actually evolved from rugby; surprisingly they are very different in clothing, rules, and set up.

I magically picked up my sports shoes again, finally decided to continue my run. And when I finally went back to my team with Coach Chavez, I 'm even more determined that it 's indeed an unexpected luck for me to meet such an inspiring coach who led me to the eventual realization about myself, how I was encircled and almost suffocated by my narrow ego which I looked upon as wisdom. With her, I recognized that in the running towards one 's pursuit, only with the commitment and efforts to one 's utmost, victory could be achieved. And now, as I look up to those athletes, not only that I no longer detest their opinions, I too, join their camps, looking forward to run once again to my heart 's content, with the beginning

Journalist David Epstein takes down the self congratulatory attitude behind goal shattering success in high level sport. He explores all the ways that athletes have improved over the past decades in his ted talk by using comparison, logos and pathos, and significant figures.

When I first signed up for sports communications the last thing I thought I’d be doing was not only meeting people like Mike Breen, Jim O’Connell, Steven Sheer, and Joe Yanarell, but speaking to them on a first hand basis and getting to know about their line of work. Each and every speaker not only told us about their line of work but told us about their stories on how they got to where they are and why try fell in love with what they do along the way. The three speakers that stood out to me the most were Mike Breen, Jim O’Connell, and Steven Sheer, but I would like to quote Joe Yanarell on a couple statements that seem to fit into each and every one of these men’s stories. First off, Mr. Yanarell said “you are going to fail and learn from it.” This quote goes a long way

A young, 27-year-old, co-founder of the frozen smoothie kit company PACK’D, Luke Johnstone, was named young entrepreneur of the year in 2016 (“From Freezing Shed to Frozen Drinks Rise of the Smoothie Operator” par. 1). Like the Woodstock entrepreneurs, Johnstone quit his job to start his business, but he was not lucky enough for his dream to happen in just a short nine months like the other four men, his took two years of living in a shed in the back of his parents garden (“From Freezing Shed to Frozen Drinks Rise of the Smoothie Operator” par. 4). Another young entrepreneur, like the Woodstock entrepreneurs, is high school sophomore, Natalie Abbott. Abbott turned her 4-H project into her business, The West Hill Honey Company, where she sells honey and lip balm(“Chi-Hi Student Wins State Business Award” par. 1). Although Abbott is younger than the Woodstock entrepreneurs, they are alike because she did not work alone, she had help of her mother and father, just as the four men had the help of each other (“Chi-Hi Student Wins State Business Award” par. 1). Although the four men of Woodstock and today's entrepreneurs have a plethora of traits in common, a great deal of today's entrepreneurs lack one trait the four men of Woodstock do not; their business is for the money, not the

Socialization is a process of learning and social development. Socialization occurs when we interact with one another and become familiar with the world we live in. Socialization is important to the development of personality. Youth sports can play a crucial role in social interaction such as actively interacting with others, synthesizing information, and making decisions for ourselves. Although sports may apply stress, anxiety, and social pressure on the young athletes, youth sports build and develop character, confidence, and ultimately self-worth.
