Life is always full of meaningful memories, some memories fade as time goes on and others stay forever. It’s these memories and experiences that make us who we are and make us stand out in a crowd of millions. A memory that I will always cherish is the first time that I began ice skating, I was four years old then. I was watching television with my parents and I saw a girl gliding gracefully across the ice, she was doing jumps, spins, and splits in the air. I thought that she looked amazing preforming in front of thousands people in an arena. I was in awe at how beautiful and elegant ice skating looked and wanted to try it for myself. My parents and I went to an ice arena called Northwest Ice Rink, we had met a kind lady named Ms. Jackie who didn’t skate herself but offered to teach me the basics of skating. I learned to march and glide on the ice with two feet, occasionally falling, but I remember feeling …show more content…
Never forgetting where I started and the person who helped me get to where I am today, I practice hard and continue to get positive results for my club team and myself. This is a meaningful memory for me because without Ms. Jackie I wouldn’t have been competing on the ice and winning medals. If I hadn’t been skating I wouldn’t be coaching and teaching kids who are 3 to 12 years old to skate and enjoy skating. I had always been a shy person, but skating allowed me to express myself and connect with others. I have become much more confident through figure skating and learned how to work and cooperate with others when I perform in groups for shows. Skating has made me a confident, goal-oriented, competitive person which has helped me a lot to not be afraid to meet new people and try new things. Figure skating is a meaningful memory that I can never forget and made me who I am
Thousands of women have competed in the Olympic Games since women were first allowed to compete in 1900 (Olympic.org). When women first earned their right to compete in the Olympics, they still had to fight and regulate the games to be allowed to compete in all sports. 2012 was the first year that women competed in all event types offered in the games (Olympic.org). Almost 150 athletes participated in the Women’s Figure Skating events alone in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Figure skating was originally the first and only sport opened to women in the Winter Sports (Timeline: Women in Sports).
Failure for Moorestown girls lacrosse is not an option. This powerhouse lacrosse program had a winning streak of eighty-eight consecutive games. My sophomore year the program experienced their first loss in what seemed like forever. Continuously, the timer on the scoreboard got closer to triple zeros, everyone’s hearts went into their throats anticipating the end. The opposing team was up by one and were stalling the ball.
Around the third grade I remember asking my parents if I could play hockey, one of my friends was and I truly enjoyed the sport. They countered that the sport was very expensive and could be dangerous.
The clock ticked down fast up on the jumbotron as the pace of the game gets faster and quicker. Both teams screaming, shouting, cheering, and encouraging at each other, eager to advance to the next round. The game gets more physical, and players are banging the other team’s players to the boards. Coaches are yelling to give us more confidence. This is the first round of the Quebec Peewee Hockey Tournament.
“So, Lesley.” My friend turned to stare at me with an expectant gaze. “Are you going to go?” How am I supposed to answer that question? What if nobody will end up going?
Look around the room ,do you see anyone who looks the same?You shouldn’t, no one is the same. The things about me are different from many other people I like to dance, I love vegetables, and I I also hate liars. The first thing you need know about be is that I’m a dancer. I am really competitive dancer. I have been competing since last year and ever since then I’ve been pushed.
I have been cheering for five years now. I can not remember the times when I was not a cheerleader, it is hard to imagine myself doing anything other than cheer or simply not cheering at all. I fell in love with the sport and within time, my passion towards it grew even more. Cheerleading consumed my life, it was my only focus. I was fortunate enough to grow up with coaches that pushed me to reach limits I did not even know I had, as well as teammates whom I shared the same passion towards the sport with.
Another fun aspect of hockey is the speed. When you are skating, there are all kinds of speeds you can go. When you are older and have more experience, you will most definitely go faster. Even if you are a beginner and skate a bit slower than average you can still love the game. Last but not least, there are the shots.
I’m on a mountain, I just overcame my first obstacle the chair lift. Which I thought would be harder than it was I miraculously didn’t fall or knock over the other skiers/snowboarders. I glanced back up at the gleaming mountain becoming easily distracted by the flawless stroke of every turn as the pros make their way down. I say quietly to myself “Isn’t this suppose to be a beginners hill?” They have gopros strapped to their helmets and are racing each other down.
Putting the fun back into physical activity for children will do wonders to foster PA. You don’t see children playing in neighborhoods anymore. A constructive approach to developing outdoor free play is, in my opinion, the cornerstone of developing a love of doing, moving, and being physically active. Many children don’t enjoy the harshness of competitive sport (I was one of them) but do enjoy being out and about doing things. As a child play that involved running, cycling, swimming, and skating were all the things that I truly loved.
The Impacts of Figure Skating and the Human Body System All the body systems are used while figure skating. First is the circulatory system. Figure skaters use their arms and legs to dance on the ice and do tricks. The circulatory system flows blood, that is filled with oxygen and nutrients, all over her body. It also has white blood cells that can fight disease for the skater.
Once you're past the level of your friends helping you with basic tricks and fundamentals. You start trying to improve more and more. Which in turn makes your friends feel like they need to improve just the same. Before you head to the skatepark, you tell yourself you're going to land this trick on that obstacle. Once you get the trick, you want to flip in or flip out of the trick.
One day I was watching the Olympics and the speed skaters. When I was watching these fantastic skaters go around at really high speeds. That gave me the idea maybe I should start skating. When I started out I fell a lot but I was just starting out.
I positively believe women's freestyle figure skating is the best Winter Olympic sport ever to be played. Reasons why this is obviously true are: When you practice for figure skating you benefit from plenty of other exercises, such as flexibility and speed. While enjoying a fun and positive practice you can build your balance, along with boosting your self confidence to help with all your glides, twirls, and turns. All your stress you get from pressure can be lost as you glide across the ice unlike a more intense game such as hockey: where you have to keep track of the puck and other players while trying to be efficient. Consequently when you gracefully glide across the ring, you will be reminded of all the amazing figure skating athletes
I was finally stepping outside my comfort zone learning to ride a bike. The most memorable time in my life was the time my dad taught me how to ride my first bike. At the age of six he taught me the basics of riding a bike. Along with rules that were set in order to help me be responsible with my bike. I learned to ride a bike without training wheels.
