Baseball has started and we are getting finished with our 3rd week of practice. Today we are getting our jerseys and our first game is the week we come back from spring break. Last week i was asked, by the varsity baseball coach, if i wanted to play with them for their first game that was suppose to be last week. The game got cancelled so i was unable to play my first game at the high-school level, but this made me think a lot about my future in sports. I have always wanted to play a sport in college but could never decide on whether i would want to play basketball or baseball.
In basketball I started in 5th grade which, at the time, seemed later than a lot of the people i knew. I never really saw myself as a good player especially when i
Throughout my life I have always said “I will be a Major League Baseball player.” I do not just say this, but I put in work every day to get better. Day-to-day I pray to my Lord and savior Jesus Christ to help me get there someday. Throughout high school I have been attending many college showcases to get my name out there, and get a shot to show scouts what I can do. A showcase consists of hitting, fielding, running, and scrimmages with those that also attended. Even though I get piled with school and a job, I still manage to have time doing what I love. Not only baseball but the gym to get stronger on
Basketball has always been an easy sport for me. I was the team captain and one of the carriers of the team. I was quite confident in myself and knew the consequences of not playing. But when I became a freshman in high school and could not play on the middle school team I had one option, to play on the varsity team. I was nervous because I had made friends on the middle school team but did not know the dynamic of the varsity team. When the first practice rolled around I was anxious.
I’ve taken part in baseball since I was 3 years old, it is by far my favorite sport. It truly holds something very special to me, because I look forward to it each year. When the season ends I enjoy it for about 2 weeks off, but then realize I’m not going to have another team practice til next year. My 9th grade year of sports took a turn of events when I tore my meniscus during football season. I had surgery March 8th of 2017. I couldn’t play that season and I was pretty depressed seeing all my buddies play. I remember hobbling over to meet Coach Boom and introducing myself saying I could help out doing stats for him. I tried to keep myself involved but it was hard not playing and just sitting on bench watching my family
CRACK HOMERUN!!! See you later baseball. I would like to make the MLB because I could make money, see the field, and be famous.
It just seems like it would be natural for me to begin playing organized basketball at an early age, but I did not other than the rough and tumble playground ball at recess. I began to yearn to play on a real team, and soon I would have my chance. It was the summer before the sixth grade, and I managed to talk my father into purchasing me a basketball and my mother into purchasing the rim. We put the rim up onto the shed and I began practicing.
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.
I started playing this amazing sport in first grade, and ever since, I have been playing it. At first it was all fun and games and then I hit 6th and 7th grade then I played to win. I would dive for the ball, get mad and shove players (not a lot though), shoot more, and all in all I played it more serious. I still play it for fun, but now it is time to win. My team, coaches, and parents help me get better and love it even more and I know for a fact that basketball has changed
Joining sports at college might not be the best for me, but I have always wanted to try and join. I know I am not the best, but that has never stopped me from trying. Being stuck in my dorm room studying is where I probably will end up but I know that wont be the best. People tell me, go make friends, go see the world and go live life. Truthfully, I feel that education at college is all I am there for, but I know that’s not how I should be while at college. Once my schoolwork is done and studied hard, then its go
Ever since I was four, baseball constantly affected my life. When I was younger, I just played the sport because I always had energy and need to do something besides watch Spongebob. Before I knew it, I fell in love with the game. I nagged my dad to come to the park with me so we could practice. We would hit, run, play catch, and even watch baseball together. As I got older, my dad had become more serious when we practiced. He yelled nasty things if I didn’t perform at his expectations. I transferred to Mid Pacific as a new student, in the eighth grade, with no friends. The morning before the first day of school, I was excited. As I look at my sister drive off, I suddenly lost my confidence. The boy who was popular, likeable, funny, and even handsome had completely
Ever since I was ten years old and I made my first local little league team’s all star team, I knew I wanted to play baseball for as long as I could. I am thankful I have been offered the opportunity to play baseball beyond the high school level and am enjoying the college selection process.
One the the school counselors was talking to me and asked me what I liked to do at home and I told him that I really enjoy to play baseball and little did I know that he was a baseball coach. He told me to go home and ask my parents if I could join the team. When I told them they told me they couldn't pay for it and that they wouldn't be able to bring me to practices or games due to there work schedule. I went back the next day and told the coach what my parents said , he told me not to worry about the money just to show up to practice next week and he would make sure I was on the team. Knowing my parents wouldn't be able to take me to practices I discussed that everyday I would ride my bike to practices and to games I would ask teammates for rides. Tell this day my Baseball coach tells me that every time he saw me come to practices riding my bike and always being the first one there, reminded him of his child hood and showed him the love I have for the game. Even now that I'm 17 year old , I still feel like that little kid whenever I play
February 3rd 2013 was tryouts for the high school baseball team. I can remember I marked it on my calendar at home in early fall of 2012 and I worked hard every day so I could be my best and make the team. I remember counting down the days witch felt like for ever and ever. Then the day hit when I had to go out onto the field and show the coaches what I was made for. Before me and the other freshman’s had to be on the field we all were in the field house and seating around waiting on the coach to come and tell us to come outside. I remember all the older kids talking bad on me, they were saying " wow the coaches must have lost it letting you try out for the team”. I told myself to just let the be the fuel to your fire and go out there and be the
One thing I am good at is baseball. I am good at baseball because I can throw far and straight, so that my baseball team members can catch it. Sometimes however, I throw it weird and they can’t catch it.
When I was 8 years old, I joined the baseball team. And I had played baseball until 18 years old. (3rd grades in high school) When I began to play baseball, I feel just fun. And I really like baseball. I had never thought that I don’t want to go training until enter the high school baseball team. Why? Since training is just too hard than I did training until junior high school. Of course, Many times I enjoyed playing baseball and to practice in high school, but I have more strenuous training, hardships and painful experience than enjoying. So, that’s why I didn’t like baseball at that time. But I think now, it was a wonderful experience. Hard training made us have a confidence,
I first started playing volleyball at a very young age. I was in the seventh grade when my volleyball career started. My sister started playing in the seventh grade and I just wanted to follow her footsteps. My seventh grade year was ok because I had just started out and really didn’t know the game. There was A team and a B team, where A team was better than the B team. I tried my best to be on the A-team, but guess where I ended up, on the B team.
