Personal Narrative: A Career As A Sports Coordinator At Tyle Tyler

One big fight. Coach says he won’t coach a thug team that fights and can’t handle themselves. His name is Coach Buddy Stephens. The last Chance university kids go there maybe because of academics or maybe fell off the grid and want to come back for another chance. Everyone goes Division 1 and who ever doesn’t make it will be disappointed. Mrs. Brittney Wagner the academic advisor comes in and helps the players graduate and have the grades to not drop out of college or classes they can’t afford to drop out of so they can play football. Now comes John Franklin III He is a transfer from Florida St. He ran track there and played football. But he dropped out of school because of academics and he didn’t want to be there anymore so he came to Emcc

Old timers will see Chief Jones’ as an outsider that will weak when dealing with personnel and politicians, have no concept of what the work needs to be done on the scene of a large commercial working structure fire or how to properly deal with a mass casualty incident because she is a woman. Certain staff members will more than likely go even further and say that she did not earn her position ,consider her a second class officer and others will call her the token woman so that Union County can say they adhere to the Equal Employment Act and they even have a woman as the leader of one department. These are just a few of the ill feeling and statements that some will say when she attempts to apply changes that they will strongly resist

Last year was the first time I worked the Special Olympics, and I didn’t know what to expect. I signed up for it with my basketball team because the Special Olympians would be playing basketball and volunteers were needed to help run the scoreboard and keep time. Mr. Campbell, the man in charge, told me that the opportunity to play basketball will be an incredible experience for the special needs participants, but working the event will have an even greater affect on me. I was

Tonight was a game that determined the outcome of the season. Tonight they had to win. Tonight was the night where they had to improve their record. York High is a tough team full of many talented athletes, but lacking the knowledge of the game. Or so we thought. Walking into the locker room, you could feel the intensity of the guys. They knew that their season depended on tonight. It was their last night as freshman football players, it was their last night to make a name for themselves. They tried to play it off as if they weren't nervous, but I could tell otherwise. Dani, the injured guys, and myself had the water filled and ready to be loaded onto the bus in no time. Now it was just a matter of getting all the guys onto the bus. At 3:30 the bus arrived, and that meant game time would soon be approaching.

Ottawa-Glandorf athletics taught me more than I ever thought I would have learned. Being apart of Titan sports comes with a stigma: a stigma to be great, to work hard, and to carry good sportsmanship. I participated in Ottawa-Glandorf sports so I could be apart of a team, enhance leadership skills, and build relationships with peers. My freshman year I decided to join the girls soccer team. I was a little hesitant as I was the only Glandorf girl on the team, but after the first week of practice, I met some of my best friends I have today. Although I didn’t get much playing time, I always tried my hardest, gave it my all, and was a leader on and off the field.

With a score of 44 to 37, the Varsity Football Team won against the Midway Panthers last Friday night at Waco.

When it comes to the sports industry, there are many different jobs within organizations and businesses. Prior to interviewing someone, I did a large amount of research on jobs within the NCAA. My ideal interview would have been with the athletic director for the University of Florida, because my goal is to one day become an athletic director. However, Jeremy Foley is a very busy man and was not available to meet with me. Therefore, I interviewed who I believe to be the next best person. I interviewed the coordinator of volleyball operations for the University of Florida Gators, Alesha Busch. Although Alesha does not deal directly with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), she abides by the organizations rules and deals with them through the University Athletic Association (UAA). The reason I chose to interview

Bellamy reflects on all the progress that the Husky Sport has made, and admits that there is still work that needs to be done. She admires the relationships that she has formed with Husky Sport. She describes a key component of the success of the program as being the achievement of creating strong bonds not only between the mentors and the children, but amongst the mentors to one another, and the children to one another. Husky Sport, she exclaims, is the type of program that brings people together who are truly interested in the work that they do. Ms. Bellamy furthers her discussing by praising the amazing Husky Sport staff. She admits that without the wonderful Husky Sport staff, the program would be nowhere as close to successful or enjoyable as it currently

Developing skills of organization, efficiency, and a strong work ethic was crucial to balancing time for studying, research, practices, and games. Additionally, to ensure I achieved my academic and athletic goals, effective communication with teammates, professors, and coaches was essential. Although my time as a student-athlete came to an end, the

Olde Severna Park, Maryland, my bus comes to a halt, and gently veers into the collection of radiant green synthetic turf fields, and prestigiously constructed buildings which make up the Severn School campus. In the days since I was last here, so little has actually changed, but being in the upper school now, it seems to different. There are still the same deep red bricks, etched with names, forming the commemorative alumni walkway. There are still the same colossal 100 yard turf fields, lining the left side of the walkway, their radiating scent of sweat and plastic turf beads reminding me of all the good times that were had in my middle school days. On the other side of the Alumni Walkway, lay the magnificent Edward St. John athletic center,

Mr. Chambers’s presentation was highly informative and relevant to our class coursework. Learning about his educational background gave me great insight into what it would take to become an Athletic Director on the collegiate and high school level. It is always interesting to learn about the different life events and opportunities that shape where an individual ends up on the professional level. Mr. Chambers had a friendly, laid back style of delivery that was easy to listen to. Having someone from the community who is experienced in the area of athletic administration helped me to make connections between course material and the real world.

I am writing to the three of you because I am interested in the Assistant Softball Coach position at your school. As an alum of Mountain View High School I know the competitive traditions that the Spartans have on the field and in the class room. I believe that with my knowledge of the game, passion, dedication, and skills makes me the perfect candidate for this position. The four years that I spent on the varsity softball team here at Mountain View High School ultimately allowed me to find out who I was as a player and a person. There was so much more to being a Spartan than attending a High School that performed well on the field, but was also like a second family.

In middle school, athletics were not my forte, and my commitment to music and my long commute to and from school prevented me from joining many varsity teams at Lisgar. Nonetheless, I began participating in intramurals in Grade 9, and found a niche of my own in the Lisgar Athletic Council, which I joined in Grade 10. For the last two years, I have advised the Sports Council heads, while also scorekeeping for and participating in intramural tournaments, as well as pursuing athletic goals outside the school.

It was just another school night in the seventh grade. Our recreational tackle football team had a practice at 730pm until 9. It was a very swampy night and from that I felt myself very sluggish. At the time, I was a backup running back. I was always left on the sidelines facing the chills of the cold wind during games. I typically didn’t get to see much playing time on the field, but that night I got my opportunity. I was receiving kicks during a punting audition and all I was doing was catching the ball and throwing it back, nothing unique. One throw after another, my coach began to praise my arm strength. Seeing me pass the ball was a true eye-opener. That night, I went from a backup running back, to the starting quarterback of my rec

It all started when i was in fourth grade. It all changed what inspired me came by whole big dream that i wanted to be successful at. I was at school just a normal day, and it was times to go to PE, and my coach got out a circular ball that i had never seen in my life. It was kinda colorful, it had some weird word written on it, but i couldn't see from where i was standing. My coach handed us each one of these balls, and coach called them volleyballs. My coach told us what to do and what not to do, so i was at this net, and just gave the ball a high five because that's what he said to do. Coach came over to me, and kinda directed me through and told me it was called a serve. That day i went home thinking about it, and i decided i want to do
