Switching At Thomas County Central High School

I heard the faint high pitched beeping of my alarm clock as I opened my sleep covered eyes. I attempted to roll out from under my covers but immediately retreated as I felt the chilly spring air touch my skin. While I was mustering up the motivation to get out of bed, I glanced at my alarm clock. “11:00 AM” it read in boxy, glowing numbers. Had I really slept in that long? I finally rose from my bed, traveling down the stairs to make myself some breakfast. “Hi, girl!” I greeted my dog where she was waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. I smiled to myself as I turned on some music, opened the fridge to retrieve some eggs, and turned on the stove. It felt like a fine Saturday morning until I remembered that I had a lacrosse game later

After graduation, high school athletes have the ability to pursue their sport in the college of their choice. In some instances athletes may even receive a full ride to their college. However,

In today’s society, there are many issues, dilemmas, and scandals that we have to face. After reading Kenneth Jost’s article about college football there is, respectively, many issues in this field. I firmly agree that the Committee of the Coalition of Intercollegiate Athletics, which is an organization that represent roughly half the FBS schools, should search for ways to force college athletes to be admitted into the school before being provided with scholarships to play. Even though everyone loves watching college athletics, the purpose of going to school isn’t to be entertained, it’s an opportunity to better your education. Although many colleges feel like this will decrease their schools win efficiency there are examples that diminish

“It's kind of fun to do the impossible” is a quote by walt disney. I believe that anyone can achieve the impossible just by working hard. This leads into the song I chose “Hall of Fame”by the script, the theme of this song is encouraging yourself to do the impossible, will eventually lead you to the hall of fame. First, one of the verses says “you can move a mountain, you can break rocks, you can be the master don't wait for luck, dedicate yourself and you will find yourself standing in the hall of fame.” This tells us that as long as you believe in yourself you can achieve your goals. For me achieving, has always been one of my biggest goals, whether that be in academics or sports. But I have had people tell that I am not smart enough to get

Cheerleading is a very competitive sport and takes a lot of effort. There are several types of cheerleading that a person can participate in. Unlike most sports, cheerleading is not just limited to male or females. Both can participate separately or together. In addition, cheerleading can be a recreational sport for some, provide an education, or even be done as a full-time job. Cheerleading is also offered at all age levels. Children as young as 2 can participate in competitive cheer. This paper will not only persuade you that cheerleading is the best sport, but also persuade you that the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are the best cheerleading team in the NFL. The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders (also known as the DCC) is the best cheerleading team in the NFL because more than 500 women come to tryout each year, their ages range from 18-40 years and you have to try out each year to maintain your spot on the team.

These fans like the way in which the sport is played now, and they fear that change to the policies or rewards could put their beloved sports in danger. In addition to this, the current collegiate sport coaches are just on-site pawns that the NCAA can manipulate. The NCAA can make any rule or regulation that they would like, and if the coaches do not follow, it may just cost them their job. Finally, we look to the athletes, these individuals are truly the most influential figures in collegiate sport. These are members that can make the biggest difference when it comes to the future of university athletics. The problem with this is, student athletes do not want to risk all that they have, just to try and change some rules that they may not agree with. Every college student thinks that they are going to go pro, and there is no way that they will blow that chance by stepping out of line to fight for something that may not be right. With all that is said, there have been many great strides in the past to make university athletics a better and more fair place, but there is still much more work that needs to be

The summer, a time of warm weather, long weekends, friends and holidays. It is also the time where many of us put down the junk food, get off the couch and come out of winter hibernation to enjoy the outdoors. It’s often not long after playing your first game of beach volleyball or running to catch the bus when you realise that your heart is racing, sweat is pouring down your face and you are breathing heavily. As you look up and watch everyone still running around you or as your stepping onto the bus only one thought is running through your mind “WOW I am out of shape!”. Now I am not here today to try and convince you to get into better shape. Starting a fitness routine is a commitment that an individual needs to decide on for

Have you ever been yelled at by a coach or has your coach told you to run so much you throw up? I sure would not want that to happen to me. I think there is no reason to treat players badly. You can motivate them but if you go too far it can turn into abuse. Psychologists have proven that mean coaches can damage kids. Some people might think it is ok for coaches to treat their coaches bad. I believe that that coaches should treat their players better. There is no reason to make your players pressured into a situation. Also there is no reason to make your players run till they throw up.

There will come times when you will be almost out of options, and forcing passes is the worst idea in Madden NFL 16. If there is nothing you can do with the ball you will want to avoid a sack and additionally, even if you gain nothing out of a play, this still beats an interception. So if you find yourself in a situation like this, don’t hesitate to just throw the ball. Remember to get out of the pocket (because if you are in the pocket you will get hit with intentional grounding) and simply press the right stick. Bear in mind though that turnovers will cost you games, so try to use this as a last resort.

Many People think that the collegiate sports are just a form of entertainment for them and the players but the players think of these sports as a job. The NCAA is the National Collegiate Athletic Association and it is the center of making all of the rules for collegiate sports. They decide on if student athletes are employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act or not. Student athletes do not get enough recognition and seen as students or entertainment but not as employees. Although some people do not believe student athletes deserve the recognition of being employees, others know they should because these students fall under the title employee from the requirements placed by the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Do you have a passion, something you love to do more than anything? Imagine people trying to stop you from doing what you love because they think it’s not useful or a waste.

When kids play competitive sports, they are happier and they learn how to be healthy. Also, they learn life lessons that they will need for the future.
