Figure Skating: The Middle Of The Disney Movie Ice

Cutting bits of me that cannot handle the pressure and stress; developing pieces of the more disciplined me; testing my concentration; forcing my mentality to be flexible; enlarging the best of me: my determination, integrity, confidence, ingenuity, independence. Ultimately, skating leaves me more focused, more disciplined and more confident. It shapes my character, reminding me that success only feels worthwhile if it has a bit of blood behind it; skating tells me to try again, to keep working. Perseverance has been my grace. And as my skating career comes to a close, I have taken the time to teach those around me. The young skaters I teach think I am inspiring them, but they change who I am, altering me into a more caring, compassionate person.

When I was young, I fell in love with competitive figure skating. The ice was my second home, and every minute I spent on it was pure bliss. By the time I was ten, I had practices four times a week and several competitions a year. Unfortunately, my path to success did not leave me unscathed. I had many falls and accidents over the years, and getting back up was almost never easy. The worst accident occurred when I was first starting to skate. I was four years old, and it led to my parents almost taking me off of the ice forever.

I am interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Kinesiology degree to develop a solid understanding of the human body, health, and fitness, as well as to set myself up in a position in which I could go on to pursue a career involving these areas of interest. I have always been interested in finding out how the body works and how to apply this information to benefit people’s lives. From a young age I have enjoyed participated in physical activities such as gymnastics, hiking, and horseback riding. These experiences helped me gain an appreciation for the human body and an interest in really understanding how it works. My love for animals has also inspired me to learn more about how their bodies differ from humans.

I belong to two sporting cultures, Netball and basketball. Both these communities are made up of different groups of friends, where we all enjoy playing in each other’s company. Doing these sports throughout my life I have learnt a lot about teamwork, goal-setting, and personal growth. When working with my coaches and teammates to win games and achieve goals, I learn how to be successful and a team competitor. Playing netball and Basketball make me feel happier as I am always looking forward to getting on the courts. Seeing my different friendship groups

My mom asked me if I wanted to skate for the first time. My answer was an ecstatic yes! I got ready as soon as possible and and tried to push my mom out the door so we could leave as soon as possible. I was so excited I would ask “Are we there yet?” every 5 minutes. We arrived at the rink and I was so excited. My mom put my skates on and my CCM helmet with the black cage and we headed out. My first step on the ice was the best feeling ever. I now realized why my mom was so happy when she was out there. I felt a connection right away and I loved it. I had a few wipeouts here and there but instead of crying, I would laugh because I was having the best time of my life. When we had to get off the ice I was upset because when I was on the ice, I felt

Through our communication organizations we are molded and defined of who we are as a person. While observing the scrimmage of hockey at the University of Colorado’s recreational center we discovered an interesting practice thus being, line change. Through this line change it created a sense of being for the individuals participating in the scrimmage. The line change enables a structured practice, which permits each player to get an equal time to play. This occurrence not only allows for a distributed time among players, but it also allows for each player to be a part of the team. Through this equal distribution players are granted with sense of equality and lack of favoritism for time on the ice. Line change also creates an identity through

It also takes a lot of effort out of everyone to bring it all together into a coherent, beautiful experience for the audience, noted head coach Colleen Randale, who works with older and higher-level competitive skaters in the club.

That quote, from the documentary Freeling, sums up skating. Fall a lot but you get back up; learn not to give up even when the going gets rough. When you land the trick, it washes all away; you forget the bad and just remember the good of landing it. I personally can say that this life lesson has already proved very crucial in my life. Whether it is when I’m working outside in 100 degree weather, putting together my 3-inch thick eagle project binder, or going for a run. It all comes down to the mental aspect.

Skating has impacted me in many positive ways. I have learned skills that I will be able to use through out the rest of my life, from being on a Synchronized skating team. Three that have really stood out to me are: Responsibility, Going with the Flow, and Time Management.

Despite all of my doubts and frustrations, my coach was always there to give her wisdom. The next day, I stepped out onto the ice with tears already streaming down my face. My coach looked me in the eye and said, “Whatever you’re dealing with doesn’t matter anymore. As soon as you step out on the ice, your only job is to skate your heart out,”

As I walked into the frosty indoor ice rink, the smell of cool, crisp ice filled my lungs with glee as I was very ecstatic to be there with my family. I received my ice skating shoes and I was unsure that I would be able to stand on the shoes because of the sharp, piercing end of the shoe that was used to glide on the ice. We established a spot to relax and put our shoes on as we watched the other skaters glide on the ice. After I struggled to put my shoes on I was ready to start ice skating! I obtained my first few steps onto the ice and realized that is was going to be harder than I had imagined.

One sunny day, I was speeding around my court with my rollerblades. I went inside to ask my parents if I could go to my friend’s house, and they both replied, “Yes.” Halfway to his house, I tripped, and fell into the thin layer of grass. And this is when I recalled when I first started rollerblading.

Thankfully, they didn’t tell me that only boys could play hockey, even though it could be a tough contact sport. Instead, they enrolled me in ice skating lessons so I would be prepared to play on a team. I went into my first lesson and told my instructor right away, “I’m wearing hockey skates and not figure skates because I don’t want to be a figure skater—I want to be a hockey player!” After taking lessons, I joined the Mainline Mustangs, and I loved every minute of it, even though I had to hide behind a towel or jersey in the corner of the locker room whenever the team changed before and after a practice or game. I may have been the only girl on the team, but I loved playing my favorite sport. However, that whole experience was tainted during our championship game. We were facing the best team in the league and we were down by five goals in the final period. We knew that we weren’t going to be able to make up the deficit, but we tried our hardest anyway. As two players fought for the puck in front of the other team’s goalie, I waited at the hash marks so I would be ready if someone got the puck to me. As the fight for the puck continued, it slid out from their sticks and straight to mine. I couldn’t believe my luck. The two players and the goalie hadn’t realized what had happened. I looked back at my coaches as they screamed at me, “Shoot the puck!

A key component of sports is a sense of community. A community consists of individuals who share a common interest; for example, a common interest I and my coworkers share is watching lacrosse. Although lacrosse isn’t as popular as basketball, me and my coworkers share a mutual interest. Such an unpopular sport, but big importance to me and all others. In addition, not only does sharing a common interest allow for greater bonds to be built, but leads to team work and higher motivation. Team work allows me to bond and alleviate stress and, if any, depression; moreover, this lead to higher self-worth and higher self-esteem. In other words, sports heavily play a role on me and my coworkers because lacrosse allows us to aggregate together as a
