Personal Narrative-It's Time To Break-Up !

I knew I needed physical improvement just as much, if not more than, technical improvement. I also figured that hard physical training would make me tougher, harder, and less likely to get injured. With that mindset I practically killed myself over the offseason. I weight lifted every day, and went to club practice four days a week.

It is the first round of the Basketball State playoffs, and with eight seconds left, the talented Northwest team is down by three. The star point guard speed dribbles up the court, the tension on and off the court is immense, the pressure is even greater. Everyone during and prior to this game, had witnessed a season full of promise, and the consensus conclusion for most recognized this team as the best team to have ever come out Northwest High School. This was our best and likely only chance for success. So as the point guard puts the ball up, time nearly stops, it has a chance, but in like in life, the game of basketball is unforgiving, he misses. As most made their pre-conceived predictions of the future, or lack thereof, a young sophomore and his Junior Varsity teammates, we were inspired by our elders walking off the court, and the doubters going home. Bonded together, and we believed we were destine for something historical, and mythological outside our small circle. Thus two years later the 2016 Northwest Varsity Basketball team, the discourse community, where I developed relationships with the people I still call my brothers. A community which has shaped my work ethic, and has given me the knowledge of the amount of effort and work it takes to be successful. All of which was in efforts for a goal not even pronounced among our teammates, to us the future was still a mystery, only realized to us a one

“When your legs can’t run anymore, run with your heart.” Spring is the best time of the year, because it is soccer season. Spring of 2016 was a special time to me, because I was a freshman at Wahlert Catholic High School trying out for the women’s soccer team. I went into the first open gym scared, nervous and excited all at the same. The open gyms were for use to get in shape for the actual season and for the coaches to get a better look at our soccer skills. Previously in the year of 2014 I played for a club soccer team called DSC or Dubuque Soccer Club. After that 2014 season was over I decided to quite DSC and try something different. So going into open gyms I knew that I was going to be a just a bit rusty because I haven’t played soccer in a while. As open gyms went on some upperclassman were telling me that the coach was very impressed by the skills I had. Being only a freshman it was very flattering to know that the coach thought that about me. Knowing this it drove me to keep pushing myself hard and hard, because my goal was to make it on varsity.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.--The 10th-ranked West Virginia University football team is off to a 6-0 start and a big reason why is the Mountaineers' defensive play.

Joining a new club soccer team coupled with almost daily workouts allowed me to improve my skills in the offseason. The feeling of going into tryouts being so prepared allowed a new level of confidence to emerge in myself. With only two starting spots open, working hard from the very start was necessary in order for me to prove myself to coach. After making the team again, I knew giving my best effort couldn’t end here. I showed up to practices with a positive attitude, always ready to work hard. When the preseason scrimmages, long practices, and exhausting fitness checks were over, the feeling of having earned a starting spot was incredibly satisfying. Now, not only am I working hard to keep up my starting spot, but I am hoping my attitude will rub off on everyone and make the team stronger. Afterall, soccer is a team sport; and the possibility of winning a state title in the near future adds to my ambition to perform well for my teammates every time I step on the field.

Last week we looked extensively at Wisconsin’s chances to make the College Football Playoff. We will be re-evaluating that in future weeks. For this week we are going to briefly look at the big picture and see what it will take for each top-25 team to make the playoff. For some it will not take much (Alabama) for some it will take the near impossible and their best chance is to play spoiler. By understanding other team’s chances to make the playoffs we can see why each game is important and how each game affects the Badgers. Keep in mind that in the last two years, teams that ranked in the double digits made the playoff. Who could it be this year…? The rankings we will be going off are the playoff rankings that were revealed Tuesday night by

OK ... I've got to get my ass to the gym ... I've been slacking!

It used to be okay, “She’ll stop it soon she is just stressed out” how dumb I was. “At Least it's over now” I was so naive, to let that woman just beat me and bruise me like that was just… just… like me to let it happen. You probably want to know what i'm talking about, don’t you. Well here it is.

Whenever the end of sophomore year came around, we both became more boy crazy. I met a boy named Blake who I have now been with for three years, and she started hanging around a boy named Colton who she still visits in college. Although we both adore and love these boys, we have had many ups and downs with them. She has always been "Someone I can call up late at night and talk about boys and drama." Whenever I was a senior in high school, I decided to break up with my boyfriend of three years and go act wild again with people I thought were still my friends. While Maddy was out acting wild and crazy with Colton. Anytime either one of them would do something wrong, we would text or call each other within seconds, go get ice cream and drive

As the teams, and individuals from other sections were announced I knew it was coming to our time. I couldn’t contain my anxiety as the thought of not qualifying lingered in my mind and a cloud of doubt loomed over my head. Have I done enough? Have I worked hard enough? The doubtful questions were endless and the stress caused a whirlpool in the pit of my head of countless doubtful questions.

I chose to listen to my ex-fiancé mostly due to the fact That we haven’t talked in years since we’ve actually broke up. There is a lot of baggage that is still there, and I still feel pretty anger towards him because of how things ended and how our relationship went. I chose to listen to him because there is still part of me that cares about how he is doing, as well as a part of me that wanted to hear him finally say sorry. I knew going in that having intentions of how the conversation might look like could be harmful to myself. Still I couldn’t help it. He drive from Long Beach ad met me at Biola. We talked for roughly and hour and a half at the picnic tables by Alphas Basketball court. This was on May 5th.

“One weird trick to lose belly fat!”, “magic pill to replace exercise!”, and similar phrases flood the Internet to lure unexpecting viewers to lose fat and build muscle without training and dieting consistently. Many people fall for such scams as they want to receive the results of hard work without working hard. However, authorities of strength training and bodybuilding, such as Mark Rippetoe and Arnold Schwarzenegger, have published effective training and dieting protocols for beginner-level lifters. Both Mark Rippetoe’s Starting Strength and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Level 1 training programs can produce results in a quick and simple fashion, but many people question which program produces better results.
