Kayla Montgomery Research Paper

Tyra’s first day was awful; she got in trouble because her uniform was incorrect. She found out that there was a soccer team for the girls, and it made living in England better. The girls got a new coach and when Tyra found out about they had soccer it seemed like living in England wouldn’t be so bad after all. She tried out for the team and made it. One of the girls named Alicia couldn’t stand her, and would do anything to keep Tyra from stealing her spotlight.

People have influences and role models in life, typically a family member. On occasion, for athletes, coaches are a major influence. Throughout my career as an athlete, many coaches have come and gone and have been loved and hated, but none has had a greater impact than Jarica Martarano, my softball coach since sophomore year. She was born on August 24, 1992, she grew up on sports, including basketball, volleyball, softball, and soccer. She only played soccer for a year because she got in trouble for pushing a girl so she did not want to play again.

My partner was Kelly, one of the fastest girls on the team. It wasn’t long before I was having an asthma attack. I often imagined myself wearing a varsity jacket with pride, but my field hockey coaches impeded my goal. They humiliated me on the field. They promoted freshmen to varsity and made me the ball girl.

Running Dream is the better media and had a better impact in my life rather than The Soul Surfer emotionally and physically.n "The Running Game" by Wendelin Van Draanen, Jessica is hospitalized after an accident. A vehicle crashed into her bus after a track meet and she is now missing one of her legs below the knee. She ran a 400 meter race in 55 seconds flat during her last meet, but now it takes her five minutes to move 20 feet. She heals quickly and her doctor is pleased with her progress, but her mental state isn 't doing so well. She slips into depression.

Bella told me about practice yesterday. She is feeling really down about it. However, she doesn 't want to give up. She has had problems with her knee off and on for a few months. She spoke with the doctor last Monday at her sports physical, and she told us that she thinks its runner 's knee.

Ole Miss Rebels Crush McNeese State University Cowgirls Junior, Lexi Thompson, led the Rebels to a three set victory with 25 kills and 22 digs against McNeese State University today at one at The Pavilion. The match ultimately came down to maximizing errors. The Cowgirls were unable to score more kills than the Rebels due to errors, putting the Rebels ahead with the win. Ole Miss Volleyball Head Coach, Stephen McRoberts, said “I was really proud of our team. We didn’t really have a whole lot of weaknesses... We, overall, played really steady, and I think that was our strength overall.” The first set started off with Senior setter, Aubrey Edie’s jump float serve, that was unable to earn the rebels the first point.

Then after that, Lupe practiced against her brother and easily beat him, then played her brothers friend Alfonso-who is supposed to be a champ- and beat him easily. Also the story said “Lupe worked so hard that one day, While she was drying dishes, her mother asked why her thumb was swollen. Then later on when she got to the park once she took her glove off someone asked “How can you play with a broken thumb,”that has to take hard work to have that much muscle. If people think you have broken thumb you have to be a hard working

A failure can be a downward spiral or a setback turning into a benefit. When athletes experience head trauma, they only recover a little, which might end their career early or other times people never recover. In the case of my four month concussion, there are residual mental and physical problems. For me, this challenge helped me develop as a person than will work harder and strive for the best in my academics. Running onto the field, I can 't believe we won it - the High School Girls ' Rugby Championship.

In fact, my outlook was amazing; there were three elite meets that season, each with a limit of runners on my team that would be taken. Then, tragedy struck the team; three of our fastest girls were injured and out for the season. Now, I wasn’t happy about them being sidelined, but it did finally give me a chance to recover my placement from the beginning of sophomore year. I wanted to help lead the team to state, and with what my coach had previously said, it didn’t appear to be too far out of my reach. However, “too far” should have been followed by an asterisk, as my season soon spiraled out of my

It’s a good and bad for her to run. It’s bad because she can’t play soccer and she loses all feeling in her legs after one lap. She can also die from her blood pressure gets too high. It’s good because her doctor says “it’s good to run for people with MS.” If she wants to run let her run because she said “I don’t know how much longer I have.” That means that she doesn’t know when her legs will die. She wants to run because of this.

Even though it felt like an eternity, it was only a few minutes before I was on a nebulizer. The doctor said I had a severe anxiety attack. These attacks started coming every day as soccer season continued. Soccer was the one thing I always enjoyed but being the 8th grader on a Varsity team, meant I was the easiest target for tormenters. Girls would taunt me for surpassing them.

Ember my 4 years old was getting pushed around by her siblings. They kept saying that she was too young and small to play with them at beach soccer and no one wanted her on their team...She could have cried but she didn 't. Instead, she marched toward me and simply said: " Mom, you need to be on my team". I, perhaps, should have seen it coming from the way she walked on the pitch and I definitely, should have seen it, by the way, she looked at her brother and sisters... One minute into the match she scored her first goal with a 2 -foot-high header. They laugh thinking that she had lost her balance and got lucky somehow...

Every person becomes discouraged at some point in their life. They become consumed with frustration and feel as though all hope is lost. My story of discouragement begins at the start of my junior year track season. I had made so many improvements since the previous season and knew I had the potential to be the best in the state. However, the first few track meets of the season this did show at all.
