Importance Of Sports In Sports

Sports are a form of entertainment, whether it is playing them or watching them. Yet part of the entertainment is also the audience. The fans can have a large impact on the game itself as well as your experience.

When I first came to Lake Highland in seventh grade my parents wanted me to be on a team to get to know people and the only sport I knew was golf. I came to the tryouts with no experience of tournaments, hammy down clubs from my sister, and not appropriate golf attire. I tried very hard for the team, but I did I didn't have the skills to make it on. It was very devastating for me because I have never been turned down before, but I knew that I had to change. After this failure I decided that I should try harder in golf. I never did take the sport seriously and barely practiced, but after being turned down I decided to step up my game. I started to practice harder and more often by my own choice. I also started to play in tournaments, which I

Freshman golf ended miserably, but I wasn’t even close to giving up. In Arkansas golf, high school isn’t a big deal like in Football and Basketball. It’s the tournaments held by the Arkansas State golf Association that are most respected. So my golfing year wasn’t really over, it had actually just begun. So I began to practice more, and focus solely on golf. It seemed the harder I practiced, the worse I got. I was trying too hard, and playing badly in tournaments. It was extremely heartbreaking. This was the only think that I had complete confidence in and I couldn’t

In 7th grade, my friends and I discussed trying out for the golf team and imagined it would be an exciting task to venture. The previous summer, I had gone to the golf course and practiced a generous amount of time on my game and I believed I would be skilled

From a young age, I have always been involved with golf. My father is an avid golf player and would always take me out to the course with him. My seventh grade year was when I took golf more seriously and competed with the high school golf team. Competing with people who had more experience than I did gave me a motive to start practicing more and striving for better. During my eighth grade year, I had been able to place first in a few matches, beating players I had competed against the year before. As I entered high school, I realized that I could now qualify to go to European championships and compete with other golfers from around Europe. The championship lasted two days and the weather was always cold and raining. Golfers traveled from

Six years after I moved to San Francisco. I adopted my father’s favorite sport, golf. Soon, I realized I had a natural talent for it. I excelled and competed in more than 100+tournaments over the years. I realize that I cannot see myself not playing golf. It is a part of my identity. Golf has taught me life values that one cannot learn in class. I learned honesty from golf. Golf is a game of honor. If I make a mistake I must call it on myself. I am not a cheater. I learned humility and respect. Golf requires me to be respectful and courteous of others. Sportsmanship is a value I like to exercise with any competitor I face. Overall, golf is a part of me that will continue as long as I can keep playing it.

My first year on the team was mentally draining. The only time I ever started was during the last match of the season. I was so excited when my coach told me I would be starting. I remember the thoughts going through my head, I made sure my stance was perfect, my backswing was perfect, but my follow through was not great. As I swung the club back, I could feel the shaking in my hands. This caused my club to shake which eventually made me loose my balance. The ball went at a fourty-five degree angle to the right – the wrong direction of which it should have gone. My first drive was a horrible shot. I was so nervous in front of everyone. This was my chance to prove how good I was and I just had the worst shot of my life. I could see the look of disappointment in my coach’s face, and it reflected in mine. After that first shot, it could only get better – and it did. I did end up losing the match, but I only lost by one stroke. I was disappointed in myself for loosing, but I was also full of excitement because I did finally start and I only lost by one

This pain and this idea golf would never be the same caused me to not even look at a club for two and a half years. Then freshman year of highschool came and so did the possibility of playing golf at the high school level. I picked up my clubs two weeks before school and fell back in love with the game i quit two years ago. I met with Coach Renfroe and soon became apart of the Norman High golf team where I made friends

Humanity, to put it simply wouldn’t survive without sports; to robust is the need for sport entertainment. However, sports were not always about only providing entertainment. Numerous ancient civilizations created sports as a way to provide a close link between them and their God or gods. Consequently, over time it developed into a competition to see was the best amongst themselves. Sports since the begging have evolved, been fabricated an rules changed. Now of days watching and participating in sports is all about the competition and winning; consequently, the original reason for sports was abonded.

As a young teenager, my parents forced me into playing sports with the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO), however, strongly contributed to my overall personal moral development to where I stand today. The goal for participating in sports is to be active, have fun, and to have a positive sport experience through learning and practice of fundamental skills. In a blog entitled ”Sports and Moral Development” by Michael W. Austin, he uses the book “Moral Development and Sport," by Carwyn Jones and Mike McNamee, by discussing how the young observe sports. ”As the young see, imitate, and are initiated into fairness in this and other ways, they can begin to develop it as a trait of character. However, this requires that they see and be committed

Are IPads, IPhones, and XBox 360s being picked over dodgeball, softball and tennis? Society prefers using technology instead of being physically involved with extracurricular activities. The more technology, the less children feel the desire to be active. Children are starting to gravitate towards technology more than participating in physical activities. Children should be encouraged to play team sports in order for them to learn many different life skills at a young age. Team Sports can teach children the importance of responsibility which they will need as they mature. Sports also teach children how to set goals for themselves and accomplish them at a quicker rate than kids who do not participate in sports.

just about equality of the students, it is about learning to accept that people are interested in other things aside from sports and giving them the support that they deserve.

First – The Aggies running game will allow them to control and dictate the pace of this game. Currently, Texas A&M ranks 2nd in the SEC in rushing offense, and Arkansas checks in 6th.

If you have heard of small city named Deer Park, you have probably heard of our sports programs. Deer Park High School has gone to state in multiple sports therefore most of the students are athletes, which includes me. I had no idea I would ever play golf, much less how much of an impact it would have on my life. Most view this sport as a rich sport that involves business men who play to strike up a deal, but it is so much more. I have been playing it for over four years now, and it is constantly teaching me something new. I have learned self-motivation, patience, acceptance, perspective, and some valuable life lessons. Being open to learning new things you have to realize that you will have good and bad days, but it’s the bad days you learn from. Unlike others I didn’t start playing until I was beginning to start high school.

Sports are more than just an opportunity to go outside and burn off some energy. They are more than just a way to get in shape and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Athletics are a metaphor for life that not only teaches players about the game, but helps them discover important aspects about themselves. At a young age, I did not realize all the beneficial life lessons that the world of sports has taught me, but as I experience high school athletics, I cherish the advice the game shares with me.
