I Want To Be Involved In Sports In High School

Accomplishment is a great thing don’t you think? “The reason life is filled with tragedy, with long patches of struggle and with,I think,beautiful burst of joy and accomplishment. Blessed with those moments, you just try to relax as much as possible and focus on the little things”.Quoted by David Dickerson.The things I want to accomplish is get a scholarship to play baseball in college, go to Australia and, go to Pennsylvania.

It never happened to cross my mind to actually join the team, however; I did the next best thing. When I was only twelve years old I joined the wrestling program the only way I thought I could. I became what my school calls a “Mat-Maid”. However, being so young I still could not help the team as much as I wanted to. I worked concussion stands and helped fundraiser that was it. It wasn’t in till my freshman year in high school that I learned what being a Mat-Maid truly means.

I would love to be a part of Central Michigan's athletic training program. I have a deep love and passion for sports. After High School I would still want to be in the sports field and I also like caring for people which would make Athletic training the field for me. I am currently a captain on my basketball and track team. I make others around me better and take on the role of being a leader. My goal is to graduate and get my degree. After that I envision myself being a strength and conditioning coach or an athletic trainer. I want to be a good athletic trainer at a college or pro level.

I want to accomplish, with this position, first earning trust and respect from my co-workers and athletes. Without trust and respect there is not progress, and therefore goals, cannot be accomplished. I am still a young coach, and I know I have much to learn about coaching and life, which is why I would hope to learn and embody the strength and conditioning principles from my co-workers around me. This will help me grow as both a professional, person, and coach. I hope to make a difference in the athletes that I will be seeing and coaching, both inside and outside the weight room. I want them to feel that I am the type of person and coach that they can come to with problems and trust to guide them. I have had the privilege to do this at Texas A&M Kingsville and it is something that I will always cherish. Lastly, I hope to help the teams that I am working with WIN. I want my athletes, I work with, to feel that are prepared to their maximal potential. I want that confidence to show in their performance, which will hopefully translate into more

High school sports have been like a tradition. Many people enjoy it due to the fact that people with interests in sports have a chance to get their hobby as a career. It also adds some miscellaneous benefits. For instance, the article “What in the Name of High School Football” states that, “For example, a multi-year study conducted in Michigan has shown that children who participate in sports have increased educational aspirations, closer ties to school and increased occupational aspirations in youth.” With all those benefits, high school sports appear with a cost. Expanding just this department ignores the further important academics, the majority of sports players boast a shortage on time, and the injury rate of sports can be extreme.

High school sports tend to play a principle role in Americans society with over a million adolescents taking course from the veriety of school years.But more or less the question wether High school sport programs are beneficial or not still remain unclear but after reading the following articles. It is evident that they are not beneficial.

In high school, I was an outsider, because I was not part of a sports team. However, that does not mean that I was classified as a specific group. I tried everything a high school can offer. I tried sports, music, theater, band, art, academic clubs, and more. The school administration would think me as someone who the high school would not benefit from. Concord-Carlisle High School in Concord, MA is a very sports-centered school. The school takes so much pride in sending student-athletes to division 1 sports school. There were several times when the driveway of my house would be filled with open cat food and whipped cream, and other times the mailbox would be on its side. Someone in my school attacked me. My family and I, in distraught,

One reason I am going to St. Cloud State is because of the wrestling program. I am very passionate about wrestling and it started back in 4th grade. Wrestling came to me in three categories. At first I just joined because my friends were in it. The second phase was just me wanting to win all the time, and it made me kind of forget what the sport really means. I think of wrestling now as a gift to me and I have learned to love the sport more than just wanting to win. Once I learned to simply enjoy the sport and learn from the ups and downs, it taught me how life will be. My coach, Jamie Heidt, always says that when we leave this program, he wanted to install the mindset of trying your best no matter what it is. Whether that is fighting for a job, fighting for your family, or fighting to win a match, you never give up on something you love.

I believe that school sports are good for kids because they can make new friends and even in the video it states “ it could give them more rewarding friendships” (18 seconds) One other reason that I think sports are good for kids is because if they win 70% of their games this could help them in school being more encouraged to do well to stay on the team. Or even to be more joyful because they one last night. One problem with school sports is they put other activities into silence because they are more entertaining. “The only recognition was a list of names taped to the music-room door and a story I jammed in as editor of the school newspaper. Imagine the hoopla if the entire starting offense plus defensive backfield of the football team (that’s 16 give or take the particular defense) were selected as All-Cape League All-Stars.

My opinion on having tryouts at school sports is strong. The same kids make the team run everyday. We would get something done in practice if there wasn't thirty kids to a team. When we play baseball you only get to hit once with all of them kids. When you hit you pretty much pack up because you will never walk to the plate again.

A large amount of sports, activities, and hobbies require multiple individuals to work together to produce a desired outcome. If a group effort is required that means everyone much put in the same amount of time and dedication to succeed; if an individual backs outs or does not provide their full attention to the group, the outcome may not be what is wanted.

Every fifteen seconds, it happens to someone. That is four in a minute, 240 in an hour, nearly in a day, or over two million a year! It is also the number one cause of death in children and young adults. It is a traumatic brain injury, which happens in many contact sports. An example of a traumatic brain injury is a concussion. These are very serious injuries, killing over 50,000 people per year. Contact sports have a great contribution to this number, which causes people to inquire: Are contact sports programs for children and teenagers too intense? A bunch of people think they are too intense because of the injuries, deaths, and emotions that they sometimes cause. But some people think that the sports are not too intense because they keep kids active and they have fun. Although some people think that contact sports are not too intense, an adequate chunk of people believe that contact sports are too intense because of the injuries caused by sports, because it can disrupt the development of the brain, and because sports put children at risk.

According to Child Trends; Participation in School Athletics, participating in sports is associated with higher levels of self-esteem, motivation, psychological well-being, and overall better body image for girls. With that being said, it’s important to keep our kids motivated, involved, and not get them discouraged that they won’t want to play anymore.

Sports have always been an important aspect in my life and my family members lives. I have grown up playing all different kinds of sports and have been taught by great coaches. At Memorial, they give us the opportunity to play multiple sports, which I greatly appreciate. To be the best Panther student athlete would be an honor and something I would be very proud of.

When I’m around my mid 20’s, I would like to be a professional soccer player for the USA women’s soccer league. If I am able to make it to that stage I would have to be in shape and healthy. Also I would need to be able to play outdoors on a soccer field in front of a stadium full of people. The soccer field I would be playing on is 110-120 yards long by 70-80 yards wide. It is 53.3 yards bigger than an American football field.
