From Suspension to Winning State Championship! Don’t panic. The most daunting thing about our soccer season will reveal itself. Ever wonder how a soccer team won the state championship title with half the team suspended from three to six games? Well I have the answers to those question, just keep reading.
Hold on, why are you curious? Is there something about a great sports story that transcends audiences? Perhaps it is because we are seemingly hardwired to root for an underdog, or fight to overcome the adversity in our own lives. We may have even come from behind and had victory, which was savored and desired. Once tasted, we needed to taste victory again. Almost a half of the girls’ soccer squad was

It may take some time to glue the pieces together but even though you can clearly see the cracked edges.
Cool crisp autumn air surrounded the carefully manicured green fields. The straight white lines in contrast to the autumn colors of the surrounding trees. Almost everyone goes to the sporting events and it helps create a positive atmosphere. Many community members come to watch a miniature battle with a ball and a goal. They will cheer, they will yell, they will scream, and they will support us. The many faces of the crowd will pass by in many shades. You would not miss the players as they costume in white or yellow jerseys. Four legged blue and green objects would unfold for those looking for a comfortable seat. Voices sound out as the game is in progress but fall upon deaf ears when the players’ focus is too hard to break. Only one voice penetrates and you have heard it a million times at practice.
At first a lot of people lost faith in the whole team. Then they saw how much we all loved the game, and how hard we worked even after a big heart break. We were in the process, day to day, of rebuilding the cracked confidence of the team. My role would be to step up. Not just lace up the spiked shoes but to take a step toward being a strong team member. Even if this means taking a new field position. I reposition with courage and strength to overcome the pressure. Part of teamwork, more than anything else, is
I really enjoyed this book because of how they are the underdogs. They don't have enough money, players, and a good field to play. As a sports fan, I always want the underdog team to win. It is just a good feeling when a team that was expected to lose, comes out victorious.

Sixteen kids, twelve to thirteen years old, stand motionless on the grassy, green, soccer field: momentarily frozen in time, their fiercely determined faces set in concentration; one half dressed like giant bumblebees, in bright yellow jerseys, and knee-high soccer socks, and black Umbro shorts; the other half similarly attired in royal blue and black; the six foot referee stands at the mid-field white chalk line; black nylon cord hanging around his neck; and raises the small, silver, metal whistle to his lips.
Throughout the season we had some big defeats from the tougher schools, however I was able to maintain our team’s morale throughout our wins and losses. And Fundraising. Oh boy those were tough. This year was very different from the previous with the new restrictions. However this brought out our teams creativity. These new obstacles brought pushed our team to think out of the box and work together in effort to raise money for the team.

Throughout my life, I have frequently been a part of a team. Whether it was in an athletic, academic, or employment sense, I have learned many life lessons and values solely because I was a part of these teams. Growing up, I was involved in countless team-based sports in which I had a number of roles. There were times when I had to step up and lead, and times where I had to learn to take a step back and follow. I learned that I was only a small part of the success that happens and that the ultimate goal of the team was
We won we are going to state! In May 2015 my high school baseball team finally beat St. Thomas Moore in the regional championship to go play in the state tournament in Sioux Falls, that was something that the Winner/Colome baseball team has not done since 2009. So on May 30th 2015 we headed to the State tournament in Sioux Falls, and in the first game we played Dell Rapids. We ended up having to play 13 innings in about 95 degree weather we ended up winning to go to the championship where we would play West Central the team that was favored to win the championship. I am going to tell you a little about the plans, the expectations and what really happened to our baseball team last spring.
In modern day America sports are a very important part of our culture, because we are constantly watching sports and participating in sports. In any sport we watch mythology is present. The very act itself of playing the sport is reflective of old roman times when gladiators would kill for the crowds entertainment although today instead of killing its by hitting a home run or scoring a goal. “At their best, sports are about the extraordinary capacities of the human spirit.”(Wolter). These athletes can become extremely popular to the point were they are viewed as superhuman just like in myths, and there is a reason because the best athletes in their respective sport do what no average person could do. “The most legendary performances speak of almost super-human feats: the sub 4 minute mile, Michael Jordan’s flu stricken playoff
On February 28, 2005, I experienced one of the most exciting events that anyone could ever experience – winning a State Championship. The day my soccer team made history is a day I’ll never forget. However it is not just that day we won the title, but the whole experience of the preceding season that got us there. From start to finish, my team’s 2004-2005 season taught me that the platitude is true. You can do anything you set your mind to.
We were constantly overshadowed by the experienced team and received their secondhand parts. Simple procedures such as applying the plastic outer coating took much longer than necessary and was much rougher than on the A-teams plane. Beginners mistakes such as using the wrong glue forced us to completely rebuild the majority of our wing structure. Inevitable mistakes for a team as inexperienced as ours, but nevertheless, ones that raised our anxiety and lowered our chances of excelling.
If given the chance to do it again differently? We wouldn’t change anything, we have a good team with a strong bond, everyone knows each other, and everyone knows their roles in the team, our team started back in fall of 2017
Have you ever felt the rush of excitement whenever you accomplish something? That's how I feel everytime I'm on St. Genevieve's soccer field scoring goals. The field has green turf with white and yellow lines. Usually there are two teams practicing on the field when I arrive there. On the sides of the field it is letters that spell out the word Valiant, which is their mascot. It has two goal nets and two benches filled with teams bags and water bottles. At that field it is where I play, watch, listen and repeat.
What role(s) did you take within the team and how did you personally contribute to the level of success your team achieved? Provide some specific examples
A major role in my life would definitely be sports. It is almost as if I look up to sports because I could not live without them. Sports pretty much define me as me. I love to play sports as well as watch all kinds of sports on T.V. and if I could ever go to a game and watch the players play live I would be thrilled. Basically sports define me because I am ambitious, I finish what I start, I set goals for myself, and I am a fierce competitor in which I love to win and I hate to lose. The greatest part about sports to me is living for the moment when the game is on the line and the pressure is on can you come through and make a play for your
