Reflection Paper On Volleyball Player

I play baseball to keep me in shape, have fun, always learn more, and hopefully one day to play it for a career. I have been playing baseball since I was three years old. I began playing T-ball with a youth sports program known as Upward. Throughout my childhood, I always played up an age group because of my high skill level. When I was about eight years old, I met Brian McCann’s dad.

I have always played sports. Softball, soccer, and swimming before I started kindergarten, later, basketball and volleyball. My passion is and always has been softball. I love competing and being able to make friendships and memories with my teammates that will last a lifetime.

First of all, my favorite position is pitching. While I walk to the mound, I get chills from the fresh cut grass. It smells very earthy and sometimes even gives off a rainy vibe. It’s all so natural and calming. A green field is the most beautiful view. When you pitch and you're standing on the mound getting ready to throw, all the control is in your hands. The way that I place my fingers on the stitching and release the ball plays a role in allowing the batter to hit or miss. The strength of the ball comes from the placement of your fingers and the strength of your arm. A good pitcher knows how to keep a proper form and aim towards the middle of the bat allowing the batter to hit the ball at a certain angle or making higher chances for the batter to miss the hit. I love being in

where legends should play such as Jackie. Jackie Robinson's purpose of playing baseball was not just to play in the big leagues, it was to break down the color barrier.

“I started out with Center, my first year, and I also played a little bit of defensive line, but it wasn’t much. Sophomore year, I was able to specialize a little bit more on offensive line, and I actually moved up to guard,” Soehnlin said.

Baseball is a common sport that is played as a team. The goal is to win by having more runs scored than the opposed team. There are nine positions on the field and each has a different job to do. The catcher is a very important position and played by the top skilled people in the MLB. One of the best catchers of all time, Gary Carter, was a greatly skilled man and lived to the fullest he could be in his career of baseball.

Baseball is a broad category to talk about so I am going to explain a certain position which is centerfield.

Their is many positions in baseball like; catcher, pitcher, first baseman, second baseman, short stop, third

Motivation is based on the will to continue and achieve some means to an end. Whether it would be to wake up in the morning or to finish a doctorate in medical biology, motivation does exist. It exists for all of us and here is the response I can give for ‘what are my motivations.’

I am motivated by the feeling I get when I have disappointed someone or most importantly myself. When I do something incorrectly, it gives me the motivation to do better. I don’t ever want to

Learning how to hit a volleyball is a very important step in your volleyball career. It needs to be practiced often in order to master the approach, contact, and arm swing. It can be difficult at first, but it will get easier with more

There were things that I looked forward to being on the B team, and things that wouldn't be so good. I would get more playing time. I would score more often. I would be a starting forward. I would be with nicer people. I would be one of the best on the team. But there were many cons too. I wouldn't be playing at the correct skill level in games. I would dominate at practice and not be challenged. The coach wouldn't be as good. I would be leaving some of my best friends and I would lack the training skills that the A team is getting. Basically while being on the B team, I might not be improving as much as I could be. But I also decided good things could also happen if I just kept working hard and had a positive

Motivation can come from two sources, from inside of you and from outside of you. It can come from your hopes and expectations. It is from your desire to do something or to be someone, but not everyone is highly

Motivation is a very strong tool we can use to get further in life and to achieve our dreams and goals. Setting goals for ourselves is something that I consider to be very important, I believe in always pushing myself further and further in life, not only physically but mentally as well. We all have different things or tools we can use to motivate us towards our end goals. In order for us to stay motivated we have to have a goal and be driven towards achieving that goal.

In a small part, every aspect of my life motivates me to strive for my dreams. My family; parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, nephews and nieces motivate me and push me harder to achieve my goals and aspirations. Me being the first in my family to graduate high school, and enter into college is a tremendous amount of pressure. I want to be able to prove to them that they can reach their dreams no matter how old or young, if they are determined. Mainly, I want to show them that everything is obtainable if you work for it. My boyfriend motivates me to be the best verision of myself that I can be, we both chose to go to SFA together, after I stated I wasn’t interested in going to college. He motivates me to be better, faster, stronger and more determined. He teaches me to set high goals and reach them. Lastly, my coworkers motivate me to continue to improve my already strong work ethic. As their manager, they depend on me to teach them how to succeed in our work environment. Having people look up to me motivates me to no end. I love to set examples and be a leader to show people anything is possible.
