417 Words2 Pages

The buzzer going off, the crowd cheering, for the first time in school history, Trinty Clinton Township are state chapions.

That team made history, acheiving far more than what any spartan was thought possible, but this team accomplished far more than a state championship.

There has been Trinity greats that have made a mark in the Trinity basketball program history. I knew, this being my last year at trinity, that
I had had mighty big shoes to fill if I also wanted to make a perminet mark at trinity.

"The differance between successful people and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will"- Vince Lambardi. The team of 2015 was diffrent than previous spartan teams. Even though we had just came off a state championship, we still had to give a 100 percent effer everytime we steped on the …show more content…

We lost our first game of the season. That game chanleged us all. Would continue to stare at the dirt or reach for the stars. We continued to strugle as team. It was my turn to take charge as a leader for this team, but I letting everything just go bye.

What is a leader, a leader is someone who has a vission and passion and should not be afraid of any problems, insted, he should know how to defeat it. I didnt know how to defeat it, no one did. We got lost, caught up in the hype, glory, and the relentless pressure to stay on top, insted of working for that championship ring, we were just waiting for someone to put on for us.

The Trinity basketball program was founded on certain ideals, but those ideals were drounded. We didn 't accomplish what previous Spartan teams did but Champions are not the ones who always win the races, but the ones who try and try again, and try harder each and every time. 'Champion ' is a state of mind. We didnt win much, but what we did do was rebuild the ideals that our basketball program was founded

    The team they play against in the finals, a Chicago powerhouse, is the complete opposite of them. The high school they play against is very large because in 1971 schools were not put in different divisions by size. For the Chicago powerhouse, making it to the championship game was expected, for the Macon baseball team it was nearly impossible. They also do not have an experienced coach. “Led by an English teacher with no coaching experience…”

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of 111 Wins And Counting

    Winning is fun, however it must get boring if all your team does is destroy your opponent. This is the University of Connecticut (also known as UConn) women’s basketball team with a win streak of 111 games that was heartbreakingly ended in the semifinals of the 2017 NCAA tournament with a 66-64 loss to Mississippi State. Jan Diehm, the author of “111 Wins and Counting,” writes about this streak and claims that the UConn women’s basketball team is one of the best college teams to ever compete, in the newspaper The Guardian. Diehm believes that this success is due to the skill of each player on the team and their ability to execute the coach’s plan. She supports this claim through her use of statistics, quotes and logic.

    They came down the court and we go a steal, ran down the court and made an easy layup. By halftime we noticed something, the expressions on their face… they were shook. We had intimidated the A team and that pushed us to play even harder and make sure everyone knew we were a dangerous team to play against. We beat them and we were happier than a kid at a circus. We had become the A team.

All game, my team and I battled against the mighty Wilmington Hurricanes. We fought all game to win and finally we got the ball back with less than under a minute left and down by 4 points.

    However, I began to see the game as more than just a win or a loss. Losing gave the team the opportunity to closely look at what we did well, and what we needed to improve on. We were then able to focus more precisely on what we needed to do in order to succeed. I was able to learn that being successful and winning were not necessarily the same thing. We had success in a smaller sense; we worked as a team, played clean games and were noted for our sportsmanship.

    All of these things combined together are key roles in what helped me grow and gain confidence throughout the remainder of my junior year. Unfortunately, my team lost that year in the championship game, but now about ten months later Church League season is back. Since this is the last year I am able to play I decided to set some goals to not only motivate the team and myself but to try and recreate the growth I found spiritually and as a leader in the past season. Some of these goals include getting everyone on the team involved (especially new guys), being vocal on and off the court, get to know each player on my team individually, leading a few prayers before games, and last but not least winning the championship at the end of the season. With all of the success the team previously had the bar is set high for us to do just as well and my own individual bar is set high to make the most out of this
