Mediocre People Hate High Achievers

College athletes have been at the pinnacle of American sports for generations. College sports is considered by many as a profession and the participating athletes deserve to be paid for their work. An example of a successful organization is the Alabama Crimson tide’s football team. Out of the last 7 years, Alabama has been to 6 championship games, and has won four of them. “Perhaps the most significant reason Alabama is the number one

Since childhood, I had a chance to develop my leadership and organizational skills through sports and had my school team win many competitions. My school is one of the places where my leadership qualities are valued as I often become a head of many activities, such as staging plays, organizing shows and school trips with my teachers. Being a leader gives me the opportunity to work in a team and consider my peers’ ideas to make our plans creative and enjoyable for everyone. My personal traits help me to gain trust and respect of my peers as they believe me to be a positive, open-minded and reliable person. I have learned to solve problems and conflicts thanks to this great experience of leadership, and I am always ready to assist my peers when it is

As an athlete, I acknowledge the guidance and energy thrived off a special coaches. To recognize that their main priority is to guide us with positive vibes and to play the role as another effective role model in our lives. They’re are more than the ones who corrects your mistakes, pushes you regardless of your indecisive to do anything,

To the majority of America, Auburn University Football is just a sport. To the thousands of Auburn Tigers fans worldwide, it is so much more than that. Tim Stanfield describes it as “…more than a game…it’s a passion” (Stanfield et al. 61). The culture surrounding Auburn Tigers football is a family and tight-knit community. As Pat Dye, past coach of the Auburn Tigers puts it, “We are close here, and that is part of what it means to be a Tiger” (Glier xii). There are generations of Tigers fans, “family” traditions, and the support and encouragement of a family behind every Tiger out there playing. To be a

I also want to apologize for the disgrace I may have placed upon myself as a University of Florida student, your hardworking and dedicated employees and staff, as well as the legacy of the University of Florida our past ancestors have fought so hard to uphold. I am a strong believer that an individual can change for the better in any situation. The individual, being myself, am aware of my actions and wrong doings, despite the outcome, out of respect I will acknowledge every single individual that I have negatively impacted along the way. I have created a plan to ensure that I never find myself in this situation or any other similar again. Once again, please consider this letter as a token of complete honesty as I hope this alters the sanction of expulsion that has been placed upon me. I am willing to fight, dedicate, and rebuild the opportunity that is being stripped from my hands. I need with every bone in my body to graduate from the University of Florida and continue on to become more educated, eventually fulfilling my ultimate aspiration of becoming a doctor. I want to be student that will make the University of Florida proud to say I served my undergraduate term here. I want to expand and continue on the legacy everywhere I go. I sincerely apologize to you directly as well as my professors, the dean of students office, and my peers. I know I must pay for my actions

One of the reasons that I consider Mr. Jason to be a role model is because he was committed. He would give up his time to coach my softball team. He would try to show up to our games and practices. In addition, he would help us out through the game. He wouldn't just sit there and watch us, he would help us and give us helpful pointers on how to hit better. Mr. Jason was very committed to all sports he showed up to all games, when he could. He was always able to give us pointers and help us out through the game. For instance, one time at practice, I was up at bat. I was struggling to hit the ball. Then, he told me to choke up on the bat and to just focus on the ball. When I listened to his instruction, I hit the ball. The ball went all the way into the outfield.

After reading your letter I was in a state of shock for a period of time because it is actually a matter of our school's reputation and I really want to look at it in detail to rectify the actual issue so that best possible outcomes can be generated.

Along with NHS, being actively involved in varsity sports throughout high school has made me gain a “work hard” attitude. This attitude of constantly working above and beyond will carry over to my future education and career to help me succeed. As a two-year captain of both volleyball and cheerleading, I have learned to be a team leader while also being a team player. High school sports have instilled lifelong lessons in me such as working hard, being responsible, and being a leader, that I know will aid me in by success in academics and a

The time and effort I have put into each and every day to shape who I am displays my dedication. Growing up, I had a vision of who I wanted to become because of the influential people who surrounded me. As my current chapter is coming to an end, I realized I obtained my goal; I have managed to play every sport that interested me. My goal led me to play my three favorite sports, all four years of high school. Along with my athletic abilities, I have managed to maintain a spot in the top ten percent of my class, which made me eligible to participate in National Honor Society.

Throughout my life, I have frequently been a part of a team. Whether it was in an athletic, academic, or employment sense, I have learned many life lessons and values solely because I was a part of these teams. Growing up, I was involved in countless team-based sports in which I had a number of roles. There were times when I had to step up and lead, and times where I had to learn to take a step back and follow. I learned that I was only a small part of the success that happens and that the ultimate goal of the team was

One of the most significant influences upon high school athletes can often be found in professional athletes; these experts can offer an example to live up to, and advice to hardworking student athletes. As Thomas Jefferson football players looked forward to Winter Break, they received a special surprise, offering them inspiration and thoughts to carry them through their off-season, through the visit of famed Broncos player DeMarcus Ware. On Tuesday, December 8th, in addition to providing a stellar pep-talk and kind words to TJ’s players, Ware also presented an abundance of new equipment to TJ’s football team, leaving many players already eager to begin the new season.

Throughout high school, I’ve been involved in multiple activities. As I began high school sports, I looked up to the upperclassmen and tried to be like them. As I grow older, I try to be a positive role model for the underclassmen, just as the students before me had done. I believe that being a positive influence on the ones that look up to you is a splendid aspect to have. As my senior year approached, I participated in volleyball for my fourth year. Throughout practice, I was sure to reach

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

Latria Graham, a writer for many news and media outlets across the U.S. states, “Sports have the potential to give voices to the disenfranchised, and they provide economic and educational opportunities for young men.” Many of the men who play professional Football come from unfortunate living conditions and see Football as their only way out of poverty. Once they make it they are captivated by the money and make so much that they don’t know what to do with the rest. While some waste their money on pointless items such as cars or mansions, others take the time to donate money to cities, schools, or athletic businesses that cater to the younger generation. This gives these men a chance to give back to their community and help other unfortunate people to realize that there is hope for them and that they can contribute something to the world.

In terms of leading a team, I regard myself as an enthusiastic and considerate leader. My colleagues on my team can always feel my passion about achieving goals as well as my consideration about others. I intend to make conversations productive by understand other’s perspectives first. I also have a high standard of integrity and apply the same criteria on both myself and my coworkers. When I was working for Deloitte, I was always the first choice for all supervisors in my group if they need to find a project leader for a very diverse team. I have been nominated as the “Team Star” for two consecutive years.
