Personal Narrative-Perfection In Sports

336 Words2 Pages

Perfection is unattainable, but every team strives for it. My Junior year, so far, has been a perfect season for color guard. By no means are my teammates and I perfect at our sport, however, we strive for something unattainable: perfection. The amount of work that we put into this sport is much higher than most sports teams put into their games. At the beginning of this season, I was skeptical of having a team with only 5 members, but my worries soon faded away after the first competition. Danville, Illinois: a place that none of us had ever heard of before, was the start of an outstanding season. Pulling up to the building, I speculated that it was one of those monumental, rich, and snobby types of schools. However, I was proven wrong once

    831 Words  | 4 Pages

    An Elite Journey is based on Massucci’s basketball experience as a coach for basketball. Massucci has coached high school varsity teams for 20 years. The fact that the author had various years of coaching allowed the real intensity of the game to be presented with nerve- racking last -minute game -winning shots. Coach Massucci also wasn’t only focused on winning in the game but in real life. He taught his players to live by the West Point motto “choose the hard right over the easy wrong”.

    Despite the newspapers and previews saying we would not contend for the state title that year, I kept in my head that anything could happen. Going into the year I told our team “lets focus on what we can do to improve, and not worry about anyone else”. At the beginning, other teams were too strong for our inexperienced runners to compete with, but we didn’t change the focus. Practice after practice, I made sure we were doing everything we could to be at our best for the end of the year. I didn’t care what other teams were doing because we had no control over that.
