More than Just a Team
Many people never understand the importance of team sports and activities until they have been a part of one. Being involved in a team demonstrates personal strengths can be used to grow as a team. Being a part of my soccer team, Fox Run, for seven years of my life truly changed every person on the team. Even though our team has split apart due to seniors graduating, the lessons we learned will continue to last forever. From fourth grade to eleventh, the sport through Fox Run has shown me to respect others, create lasting friendships, and persevere through the wins and losses.
Through Fox Run, I have learned to respect teammates, coaches, opponents, and even myself. I learned to honor coaches and referee decisions because of their authority. I respected one of our trainers, Linda Hamilton who retired from the U.S. women’s national team, gave so much effort, time, and her ability to see us achieve our personal goals. I learned to appreciate teammates because their

The game of soccer is like a roller coaster. From laughter, during Thursday night pasta nights to tears, as we fought a hard loss, we will never know what to expect. That is the beauty of the sport and life because we have to be ready for anything that comes our way. We see how soccer is not black or white or win or lose. A loss where the team played their hearts out is more acceptable then a win won luckily without sportsmanship. As soccer is a team sport, we have to play until the buzzer rings. Life is full of surprises, like the buzzer winning goal I scored in a golden goal overtime to win the championship. I never will forget the feeling when the entire team rushed the field and the crowd went wild as tears swarmed our eyes and our screams of joy filled the air. The challenges I faced on Fox Run will help me endure through obstacles I face in our lifetime and to be determined until the end of my
There are many benefits of being on a team. It is very beneficial to you and your team mates. Being a team player helps you accomplish things you never could have done alone.
Soccer always been a great part of my life. I play it since, I was three years old. My greatest moment was the final game of the district tournament. It was the first time for me and my teammates to make it that far. I had to act like I got it all under control since I was the captain of the team but I was shaking until the game started. The game went by fast, it was the minute 89 and it was a draw one to ne after my friend’s header goal from the corner kick. We had two minutes before we go to extra time and everyone in the field already so exhausted. The other team had the ball, and I was at the center back, I ran and cut the ball from the other team, I began running as fast as I can. I was not sure either to pass it or keep
Sport is incredible in how it can increase confidence, self-esteem, and overall health while teaching children a new ability of working with others as a team, taking direction, and doing things they never thought possible. I want to be able to show what sports is capable of teaching and the rewards that come along with it. The concept of team reveals what is achievable through solidarity that would be impossible in solitary.
Physical education classes are not enjoyed by all, in fact, some students do their best to get out of the class each day, but without this class, students would sit in school for seven hours a day with the only exercise being walking from class to class. While changing clothes and possibly getting sweaty may not seem productive for students who have spent an hour doing their hair, or feel awkward changing in front of others, this class provides positive ways of fighting obesity, releasing energy, retaining more academically, and learning discipline. Thus, students should be required to take physical education courses in high school.
Kit foxes, also called Vulpes Macrotis are among the smallest foxes in America. The kit fox is very easily mistaken for a dog however when you look at their appearance you realize that proportions are not that of a dog's. Many people often confuse the kit fox with its larger cousin, the grey desert fox.
Imagine speeding down the slopes having a great time, then it’s all cut off. Mason Fox deals with this problem constantly. At age Sixteen Mason Fox, a Hempfield High School student, spends his time snowboarding and tearing up the slopes. His main problem? The newbies who cut him off in the middle of his thrill. On September 2nd I interviewed Mason Fox and learned many interesting things about his family, school life, and unique personality.

From my first T-Ball team to my senior year track club, the comradery and confidence I have gained from competing on numerous sports teams has made an enormous impact on my life. Growing up, I went to a very small Catholic school. With less than 100 students in the entire school district. In third grade, our family moved to Manteno. Where each grade level had at least 120 students. Baseball and Basketball were crucial for me in my early years. It was how I became acquainted with most of my friends growing up in Manteno. If it wasn’t for competing on a team, I would have stayed timid for the rest of my life. With the confidence sports have gave me, I have been able to challenge myself to experience the world and all
Being able to deal with adversity, coach constantly reminds us, is what allows a soccer team to succeed. Not only have these words shown to be true on the soccer field, but the ability to overcome adversity may be one of the most important qualities one can have in life. This made me realize that not everything is going to come easy, and being able to recover from any sort of failure and reach my goals
Tara Stanielle Fox, a canadian hero who ran across the country on an artificial leg to raise money for cancer. Sadly, she had passed away before she could finish her run. Tara Fox will always be remembered for her determination, bravery, and perseverance. Did the previous sentences sound familiar? If they did, that's probably because they were about the famous canadian hero, Terry Fox, except they were about a woman, not a man. Terry Fox’s life would be very different if he was a woman because of gender inequality, feminism, and double standards.
The Vulpes Vulpes (the red fox) adapt well to suburban and rural communities. Large predators have been pushed away from areas with humans however, red foxes “took advantage of the changed habitat”. “They live in parks and woodland edges and red foxes will readily eat whatever is available. Red foxes are solitary, so it is easy for them to hide and escape people” (National wildlife federation https://www.nwf.org/Wildlife/Wildlife-Library/Mammals/Red-Fox.aspx). Red foxes can be found throughout the United States from Alaska to Florida. The smallest population is in the Southwest, where it is not common to see a red fox. In New York state, a lot of red foxes can be found in places like upstate, long island and new Jersey in forests and therefore
Human-wildlife co-existence is become more and more common due to global environmental changes. The red fox is one of the agilest and adaptive mammals in existence. Over the years, the population of red foxes in North America is gradually increasing. Primarily their habitat is around the Arctic Circle; however, after incidences of glaciation, the change in temperatures necessitated the need to find new habitats. The red fox is also known as Vulpes vulpes has adapted to the urban life and now, it is not uncommon to spot a one or a whole park of red foxes in the North American woods.

The team concept is really present and important in this movie. We can see that the team presence is really helpful for each athlete. They encourage themselves when they do something good or wrong. We could see when one person was failing, the others would try to motivate him for the next time. There was a good connection between them and it helped them perform better. By giving tips to each other, they were all able to achieve the goals they wanted in every place they were.
It isn’t surprising that one of my biggest growing lessons came from soccer, but I think it is ironic that it was not while being a player. Soccer has been my passion for years and I now have a new respect for referees too. Incorporating lessons like these are what separate children from men, and I feel confident in myself to act more mature in the future. I did not expect for this moment to occur, but this day when I started
