High School Gym Research Paper

It was two weeks before the state championship game and Ella and her team had been working really hard to win. Every year Ella's team had made it to state and every year they had lost in the first round. Ella wanted to change that this year and so far it looked like Ella and her team were on the right track. They got up at 5 AM every morning to go to practice at 5:30 and then turned around to go to practice at 3 everyday after school. Their coach drilled them so hard that they could've done every play, drill, and made every shot in their sleep.

You can be successful in sports by being a good sport. Also by having a good attitude towards others and the referees. Scoring a lot of points is also important too because if you don't score points then your team can't win.

This made angie want to try out for the basketball team, and follow in her sister's footsteps. Angie had not shot a basketball in a very long time and was not in shape. For the month leading up to tryouts she worked out and got in shape and worked on her game non stop. On the first day of tryouts right before the tryout the coach asked her “what are you doing here? You won’t make the team”.

The room is loud and boisterous; the other team is ahead by a point, and the home team has ten seconds on the clock. The pressure is on the home team on making the basket. As the time outs are depleted the home team happens to have the opportunity to drive takingadvantage, one of the boys drives into the lane making the final shot. A piercing screech makes the crowd go silent there lays the all-star player. Nobody dares make a soundthe thumping sounds come from the footsteps nearing the injured teen. A middle-aged brown hair lady comes to the scene, asking the former basketball star what happened and where the pain is coming from. Scanning the player’s leg and seeing the swollen ankle she comes to the conclusion that it is a sprained ankle,

High School sports are a big part in the high school experience. Many kids participate in high school sports each year. Some kids do many more sports than others and kids get injured during them. Playing a sport in high school is difficult because you have to worry about school work and family & friends. Also, many people do not make some of the sports team they will try out for and be embarrassed of themselves. Schools should not continue to fund sports because of school work, injuries, and embarrassment.

College sports isn't what everyone makes it out to be. Some people relate college sports to High School sports only to the extent of: it's a level harder. Many feel that college sports isn't that big of a deal. What little people know is being a collegiate athlete is a job. The life ou hae is set out for you on the court. Most of the free time off the court is spent doing homework. There's hardly any time for a social life, and or time for your family. Being a collegiate athlete isn't just about playing sports anymore, this is your job.

I strongly disagree with this issue because I find it unfair for an athlete, who is physically involved all year round, to be forced to take a gym class while they could be taking another elective or a block class. Many doctors say to maintain a healthy, in shape body you should exercise at least 30 minutes five days a week. My gymnastics practices are anywhere from three to four hours, six days a week. That is well over the recommended amount of exercise I need per day. Secondly, at Arrowhead, classes are usually 44 minutes. Taking into account, you need time to change in and out of your uniform which would take a few minutes away from class. If I’m practicing at least four times more than what a gym class does each day, then I don’t see the

Catastrophic injury is devastating not only to the injured athlete, but also to the athlete’s family, school and community. The Washington Post indicated that an estimated 800 thousand boys and girls take part in high school sports yearly. This demonstrates how high school sports is a major part of the school extra curricular activity. In Daniel Gould article "Are High School Sports Good For kids?" he found that students who took part in high school sports got educational benefits and extracurricular activities have positive effects on adolescents .Experts may argue that high school sports allow kids to be physical active, but they must also recognize the clear dangers. Playing high school sports come with serious consequences and life altering changes such as physical injuries, peer pressure and psychology effects.

He also had gym with Jonathan Baller. Stewart hated Jonathan Baller. He was really good at basketball and this week happened to be basketball week. This week he was in his prime. He would always make fun of Stewart for being bad at sports. He would tell him, “ Why don’t you get a life and play a sport loser.” That would always get on Stewart’s nerves cause he knew he was bad at sports but he could never think of something to say back. However, Cody was in the class which always made him feel better. Cody wasn’t the best at sports but he was certainly better than Stewart. Coach Henderik was the teacher for gym. For some reason he always made Stewart uncomfortable but he couldn’t quite figure it out. Henderik told the class to get together in groups of their choice. He knew what Henderik was doing he did it anytime we had a team sport. He would let the students group up and then give them numbers and split them up. He was surprised that barely anyone had figured it out. Cody and Jonathan were in the majority and they were in a group together. Then Henderik split them up and Jonathan got mad. He shouted, “ Why do you always split me and Cody up!”. Henderik responded,” Jonathan, I split everyone up.” Everyone said, “Johnathan your so stupid!” and I took this opportunity and joined in. Then Henderik said “ Everyone quiet down and let's play basketball.” I was on Team One, Cody was on Team Two, and Jonathan was on Team Three. When Henderik wasn’t

Brubakers group and there were mostly girls than boys in the group. Some of the kids in Mr. Brubakers group was not paying attention they were just whispering to each other. Others kept looking around not listening. Mr. Bruebaker was showing his group how to shoot layups. While he was showing them how to shoot layups all of the students were all sitting together except one girl she was sitting alone. The teacher asked for anyone wanted to help, and two boys volunteered to shoot in front of the group and the one kid tried to make it in one the first try and it hit the bottom of the basketball hoop and slammed to the ground almost hitting the boy, but the other boy made it in. He was

Students have long gone home for the day. Teachers have just graded the last papers and are locking up their class rooms. But, While all are winding down from a long school week at Jefferson High School in Daly City; It’s what is being set up in the school’s gymnasium that has been the talk of the halls all week long.

Humans have gone through many stages of adaptation, allowing for great expansion and our unrivaled dominance of the earth. So it could seem as though humans have reached the peak of evolutionary development. Evolution is often thought of as a natural process, and were it not for humans, this might be true. However, evolution, in the strictest sense, is a change in the genetic structure of a population (Jurmain, et al., 5). While natural selection is a major contributor to the process of evolution, humans are no longer as heavily influenced by these forces, as they once were.

For most athletes making it to the professional level is a dream, the NBA, NFL or even NHL. Some realize that dream, while others never get the chance, but for all it starts from a very young age and usually culminates at the college level.

But with this answer comes another question: why would Shakespeare name the main character Macbeth when his monarchs were Elizabeth I and James I? What message was he trying to send by using the name of Macbeth, the king of Scotland in 1040? In Jonathan Goldberg’s essay “Speculations: Macbeth and source” in Jean E Howard’s anthology on Shakespeare, Goldberg explains how the King Duncan in the play is a reflection of the real life Duncan I from Scotland in the 1030s when Scotland was going through distressing times. He suggests that real-life King Duncan is represented in a way that makes him seem weak through the character King Duncan. Goldberg perceives Duncan’s death as his own fault. If he wasn’t so trusting of others, he wouldn’t have

With the gradual evolution of industrialization in the developing countries particularly Nigeria, the concept of achievement motivation has become prominence among other factors, which industrialization is predicated upon. Over the years scholars have made elaborate contributions on achievement motivation.
