A Special Moment When I Receive My First Hockey Padding

Hockey sticks are definitely the most important part of any player’s equipment. The long history of hockey sticks have undergone much evolution. At the beginning they were simple wooden branches, but in present day they range from fiberglass to composite. Most hockey sticks nowadays range from $100-200. There are four different sizes of hockey sticks, youth, junior, intermediate, and senior. There are also many different blade patterns, coming from different brands sponsors.

So we got out my pads and my bike. I put the pads on by pulling them up my legs to my knees, pulling the pads to my elbows on my arms, and clipping the helmet together. My dad took off the training wheels with his tools, so I could start practicing. I was thinking and then realized, that I would finally be able to ride with my friends and family without training wheels.

Last year, in October during the cheerleader’s concert, that my mom and dad were singing at, I asked, “Do you want to dance?” My mom said, “yes”. Walking out to dance, she fell and accidently tripped me and landed on my ankle. It felt as if someone was breaking my leg in half. It got really numb where I couldn’t feel it, but I still knew I was in some pain. Picking me up off the ground, my mom sat me on the bleachers. Everyone came over there and it was really embarrassing. My dad carried me to the car and we drove to the dollar store to buy me an icepack to put on it.

One important thing in my life is when I tore my ACL the first time in eighth grade basketball. It was November 15, 2015, when I first tore my ACL. I was at basketball practice and we were doing a rebounding drill. I jumped up to rebound the ball, because I can hardly jump I landed before most of the other players and Charlie, one of my teammates, came down on my knee. I heard my knee pop. My knee caved in and I fell, feeling excruciating pain as I fell to the ground I just saw the ground moving closer and closer. As I fell to the ground I felt my body hit the hard gym floor. All that went through my head was ”That hurt really bad!!!!” I was really sweaty, I could smell the sweat from the bodies, and I was tired from previous things we had done in practice but I just sat there screaming and balling. I started screaming and balling because my knee hurt so badly. I could taste the saliva from my mouth while I was lying there balling. One of the other players went into the locker room and grabbed my phone, I called my dad but he couldn’t make out anything I was saying because I was still crying. My coach, Ms. Bolton, carried me to the bench while my dad was on his way. My dad carried me out to the truck then inside to the couch when we got home. Brock, my brother, went and picked up some crutches for me. I ended up going to the doctor about a week later and then on January 4, 2016, I had my first surgery. Coming out of surgery and waking up in recovery was the worst pain I’ve EVER felt. I came out of recovery and was screaming in pain because they didn’t keep track of when I had last had morphine so I wasn’t on track and I felt my whole leg right after surgery. Tearing my ACL was important because it made me who I am today and made me stronger by

I will also use the evolution of men's lacrosse to compare the differing need for certain protective equipment. Since each sport utilizes different rules and contact guidelines, it is expected that they should require different gear. Therefore, I must also examine the different proposals for protective gear. While some push for soft, padded helmets, other believe full, hard shell helmets, similar to that used in men's lacrosse, may be necessary. To draft my argument, I will also heavily examine the decision in Florida to require soft protective headgear for all female high school lacrosse, for they are the first state to issue such drastic regulations. Overall, I will utilize this information in accordance with the four most important perspectives— the parent, the player, the coach, and the expert— to argue the validity and necessity of headgear in women's lacrosse. A As a lacrosse player of three years, I have personally witnessed several teammates be run over by opponents twice their size. I have even

The season finished with a state championship, a shin guard protecting my leg every step of the way. To this day my leg is still numb where I was hit, sticking out just a little further than the rest

Abstract: According to the article “Neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett explains how emotions are made” our brain would have to work hard to construct an emotion. You would take a long time to describe it. Hence sometimes people find difficulties to figure out what they are feeling or sometimes they think that they are not feeling anything.

Everyone has their special feelings at some specific moments, and those moments would be membered. Those feelings could be happy or sad. I had that nervous feeling when the first day I arrived in America.

I was getting new cleats because the cleats i had last year they are worn out. First my dad picked me up from my grandma’s house to get new cleats. On the way to get new cleats i played a game. The game i was playing was a baseball game. I hit 3 homeruns.

As we got to start to play my neighbor came over and asked if I wanted his old rollerblades. I was a really bad at first but with some practice on the newly paved driveway I got a lot better. As soon as I was able to skate good enough to play hockey I wanted a net, but that net turned into an old blue cooler that we didn’t use. My dad bought me tennis balls to help as pucks would dent the garage door. At the end of the summer I joined hockey for my first

I very fondly remember the time I first got into hockey. It had gotten pretty late and I was going to be heading to bed soon. I spotted my Dad, who was sitting down on this brown couch we used to have that was starting to show some wear and tear. He was watching an NHL game on the T.V. which we had fixated across the room directly in front of the couch. If I remember correctly the Philadelphia Flyers were playing the Florida Panthers. I sat down too, oblivious to what was going on, I hadn’t a clue. This was my first time that I remember watching an NHL game. I would ask questions for certain plays and rules that I was hearing like offsides and icing. Then, of course, my Dad would explain to me and tell it by narrating over the game, and slowly

Feelings- To let people know how much you value (or don’t value) them by the emotions you express (O’Hair, Wiemann, Mullin and Teven, p. 70).

That loss meant Game 6 was the last hockey game ever played at the Nassau Coliseum. While I mourned the end of an era, I could always cherish the good memories of the Barn. I’m reminded of that victory, and all the other highs of my Islander fandom, when I look at the complimentary orange towel I hold dear. It immediately transports me to better times, when the Coliseum was rocking with passionate fans and the players fed off the energy emanating from the crowd. While the arena no longer exists in reality, my orange towel serves as a portal to a time when the puck was still dropped nightly in

According to Seth J. Gillihan, a professor of psychology at University of Pennsylvania states that it’s a good idea to stop and examine them and try to put the feelings into words, even if it does not change the emotion it makes it easier to choose our response. Lisa Feldman Barrett, a psychology professor at Northeastern University says ‘I think that an emotion is your brain categorizing sensations, making them meaningful so you kow what they are and what you should do about them.’ The attempts to pinpoint an emotion centers within the brain have been greatly unsuccessful, with complex systems of chemical and electrical interactions within and between

There is not one memory that anyone can recall that they won’t feel any sort of emotion for rather good or bad. Joy and sadness are the two main emotions we feel when we recall memories. We can’t have one without the other. When we remember things they are broken up into good and bad memories. For example, when something horrible happens to us like a break up mostly all the memories which were once joyful will then become sad. Those now sad memories have the ability to affect the way you feel in everyday life. This is where memories can be a bad thing, say in a year I meet someone new I could easily run away and hide because I fear what happened to me before might happen again because I remember the pain I felt. On the other hand, how can I experience joy if I don’t remember what pain feels like. This might seem like a funny concept, but if we lived in a world where we could forget all the bad things that have happened and some of the good things we would not know what real joy feels like cause we would always just be stuck in the same
