Great Leaders In Animal Farm

I first met Coach Baker in junior high when she coached me in volleyball. I never excelled at the sport, so I was on the B Team, but I always admired that she cared and pushed us just as hard as she pushed the better players. In high school, it was never any different. My freshman

I owe much to youth coaches like Pat who taught me the game and improved my skills. Pat helped me develop and sustain an interest in the game and encouraged me to follow my dreams. As an adult , I have a strong appreciation of what Pat did for me at that time and his inspiration moved me down a career path that has seen me play

I have been fortunate to be the recipient of untold hours of guidance of my own coaches and mentors. I can only imagine the sacrifices they have made- time away from family and fatigue just to name a couple. As a result of their investment in me, I have had innumerable opportunities, not the least of which will be the opportunity to attend Rice next fall and play baseball for the Owls. I am doing my best to apply the lessons I've learned through Wylie high school sports, to my life and all the lives I touch through service. All of these lessons impacted my life immensely and will follow me through

We all have somebody that has inspired us to be who we are. Just like couch Robert Victor Sullivan did. Couch Sullivan was know for his toughest way to coach. In our life we have had al least someone that has help us be who we are. Even if that means going beyond your limits. Just like Sullivan did. He pushed his team player to go beyond its limits. He taught them to be unique, be dedicated and put effort on everything that they do.

Have you ever been in a situation, where you feel not smart? Well Charlie wasn’t smart enough and his friends Joe and Frank made fun of him because he wasn’t smart. When Charlie wasn’t smart and all he thought was Joe and Frank and everyone playing with him, but they are making fun of him. I think Charlie was better after the surgery because he beat Algernon.

It was a great overall learning experience to listen to a great coach and athletic director Joe Sanchez. He brings experience and perfection to every district that he teaches in the mission area, from how he tends to carry himself as a athletic director. First of all I like that he explains to us how you persisted have to be in order to have a great coaching plan. He also stated that each one of us should have our own philosophy on how we should teach, because having a philosophy is a foundation to your coaching style and is a blue print of what you follow. He was so kind to hand us his philosophy that he goes by and it gives us a lot of feedback on what we can add to our philosophy. In addition to that, he also said that it is very important

Once, I was at softball practice and I was struggling when I was pitching. Then Mr. Jason told me to take a deep breath, relax and just try my best. I listened to his suggestions, and next thing you knew, I was pitching strikes. Mr. Jason Gossard had a huge impact on many people. He was such an outstanding person and coach and he had a huge impact on my life! Mr. Jason coached many other sports, he was my brother's baseball coach, he was a football coach and most importantly he was my softball coach. He’s has been friends with my mom and dad for a long time now. He has been my softball coach for many years. My role model is Mr. Jason Gossard because he was committed, selfless, funny, and he was always joyful!

When I went to Pike High School I participated in an activity called color guard for four years. Color guard is a performing arts activity that incorporates dance while using flags, rifles, and sabers. When I began this activity I barely understood what I was getting myself into. Our team got abandoned by our coach for most of the winter season my freshman year, so our show was pretty awful. We went to competitions with expectations of losing and embarrassment among our peers. At this point everyone was discouraged about how our winter season ended. It was not far to the seniors who gave their whole high school years for this activity. Something had to be changed to in order for our team to progress in the future. Second semester our guard Director, Mr. Emmert, hired Nick Bledsoe as our new coach. Though he was a skinny short white guy with blond hair something about him was intimidating. He walked into the guard room like he owned the place. He sat up with such a great posture that I straightened up from my usual slouch. The seniors did not like Nick too much, but their only wish for him was to not give up on us. From that day forward Nick dedicated his work towards our team regardless of how challenging it was to manage. My guard coach Nick was amazing because of how passionate he was about his profession at my high school.

Bebop is a style of jazz that was developed in the early to mid-1940s in the United States. Bebop was developed during the 1940’s and is one of the most artistic styles of jazz music. The word Bebop focused more of the freedom of creativity rather than rhythmic aspects. The word bebop is an onomatopoeic of a staccato two-tone phrase distinctive in this kind of music. Bebop also gave soloists more room for improvisation. Bebop differs from the composition of the swing era and is characterized by fast tempos, asymmetrical phrasing, intricate melodies, and rhythm sections that expand on their role as tempo-keepers. It appeared to sound racing, nervous, erratic, and fragmented. To jazz musicians and music lovers, bebop was a beautiful revolution in the art of jazz.

When I first started attending Manlius Pebble Hill, I didn't think that athletics would develop into a large part of my life. During my sophomore year I was granted the opportunity to take part in one of the greatest learning experiences in my life. The school had just hired a new basketball coach, and he came with the intentions to change our view on athletics at MPH. In the preceding years we had a record of about three wins, out of sixty games, and had somewhat given up hope on the notion of ever winning. However, when Coach Ike came he implemented lessons that would help nurture our love of basketball, and help us to become a successful team. He taught us how to ply together, and how to put the team and school we play for ahead of ourselves.

I started my coaching career after I graduated college. My first job was at The University of North Carolina Charlotte where the team made the NCAA Division One Tournament two of the four years I was the assistant coach. At 29 years old I was the youngest Division One Head Coach at the time Philadelphia Textile hired me. Textile was one of the smallest (1000 undergraduates) Division One schools at the time of my hire. With no conference affiliation, a limited budget of less than 20,000 dollars and a part-time salary we were able to produce results against much larger opponents such as Rutgers University, Penn State and Seton Hall; all nationally ranked programs at the time. My connections helped me sign players from all over the world (South Africa, Jamaica and

So many Coaches have talent and dedication for what they do. I 'm proud to play for one that has a spectacular history of coaching. That coach is Dennis Lorio, who Graduated from LSU (Louisiana State University) with an economic degree and played baseball. “I love the intensity and the relationship in football” Coach Lorio explaining with a passionate expression. I can see it in his eyes that he is very dedicated and hardworking coach. As of now he is 62 years old and still willing to coach. “It’s not the same without coaching. The joy and the sorrow I feel during the season has been addicted to me. I’ve been in this game almost all my life and that is a very long time.”

Someone, or some pig in the case of Animal Farm, who thinks they are better than everyone else will try to get to a position of power of leadership, so other people will see that too. A good example can be found on page 95, “The general feeling on the farm was well expressed in a poem titled, Comrade Napoleon… Napoleon approved of the poem and caused it to be inscribed on the wall of the big barn, at the opposite end from the Seven Commandments. It was surmounted by a portrait of Napoleon, in profile, executed by Squealer in white paint”. This bit of text displays Napoleon’s large ego and how that affected the way he ruled the farm. Napoleon thinks he is better than everyone else as a leader and as a pig, so he decided to try and get all the other animals to worship him and the pigs. This explains why as a leader he was always putting his interests and well-being

I have learned how to play baseball well. I have been playing baseball since I was 5 years old. When I first started I was the only one that knew what they were doing because I had seen baseball on TV before. When I first started I played first base for the first few years, but as I got older I started to play multiple positions until high school. I never really got coached well and actually learned anything until I was 10 years old. I still talk to that coach every once in a while. The first coach that gave me valuable advice was Dave Farace. He helped me become a better player by teaching me how to field certain balls and he also changed my stance, which helped me become a better hitter. He came to my practices and helped coach me until middle

American Romanticism brought a new era to America and American literature. Within literature of the Romanticism era came the development of the gothic novel. Edger Allen Poe is one of the well-known gothic authors which arose from this era. Throughout Poe’s career he wrote many short stories following one theory which he created - that every aspect of a short story should lead to one single effect. For Poe many of his stories have the single effect of terror. In Poe’s story “The Fall of the House of Usher” he creates the single effect of terror through his description of the house, the entombment of Madeline, and Madeline’s appearance at the end of the story.
