State University 's Concrete Canoe Team

Throughout my high school years there has never been a girl on the team. I am not really sure what motivated me to join in the first place, but something inside me told me that I had to do it. I had to be the first female on the team, that was my new personal challenge.

When I joined the Upper Bucks YMCA gymnastics team my freshmen year, I did not realize how much of my life would have changed. I took gymnastics classes ever since I was six, and even though the coaches would pester me about joining the team, I never felt the need to participate in gymnastics competitively. It wasn’t until I began to practice with the team girls that I realized how much I was missing out, and I never regret the day that I became a member of the Upper Bucks gymnastics team. Not only was it a place where I challenged my gymnast abilities, where I learned what it meant to be healthy, and where I discovered the thrills of competition, but it is a place that I call my second home. I met girls of all ages coming from different

The setting up of co-ed, or mixed gender, teams in schools has been highly debated by many students, parents, and school staff. Some argue than not allowing girls and boys to play on the same team promotes gender stereotypes among kids, while others claim that because of differences in body size and strength, boys and girls should not be on the same team. Co-Ed teams are in place across the nation with many claiming that they “promote a healthy environment where boys and girls are equal”, but the reality is that the forming of co-ed teams in some sports like football or basketball is not a good idea because boys won’t be able to get as physical with girls as they would with boys, nor would they be able to play by the same rules.

Over a millennium, women and men sports have never been viewed the same. When sports were first originated it was only meant for men to compete. During this time, women were forbidden to compete. Woman were always underestimated or never taken for serious. Even to this day women sports are still being seen the same way, especially in high school sports. One school in particular that will be focused on in this paper is in the city of Saint Paul called Washington Technology Magnet School. This school is a victim just like many other schools out there that women 's sports are not getting enough fundings compared to the men 's programs they have because woman sports are being considered inferior. One way to solve this problem, in this

Over the weekend eighteen (18) athletes from Indiana competed in the USATF Masters Indoor Track & Field Championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The championships were held in the Albuquerque Convention Center with over 600 athletes ages 30-99 competing over the three days of competition. While the 5,000 foot elevation was kind to the sprinters and field event athletes; the distance athletes needed to make adjustments to their normal strategies to navigate the effects of the oxygen-depleted air.

Last year I was very excited about joining the Lady Spirithunters but, my dreams were short lived when I was not accepted as a member. However, I am someone who does not believe in giving up on things I want to do until I know I’ve given it my very best shot. Since my Freshman year at Florida State I’ve always admired the spirit and enthusiasm of the Lady Spirithunters. I take so much pride in being a Florida State Seminole and I love the fact that the Lady Spirithunters share that same Seminole pride. After going to the Potential New Member mixer last year I realized how many outstanding all of the girls were in the organization. I strive to be a part of such a well rounded group of women who share the same ideals as myself. Being part of

“This recognition by the Southern Collegiate Athletic and Midwest Independent Conferences of nearly half of our student-athletes is testimony to their dedication to their academic programs and the support of the coaching staff and faculty of the college,” said Centenary Director of Athletics and Recreation, Dr. Bob Bunnell. “We are very proud of the culture of academic excellence that is a part of our athletic

The rowing team were always interesting and competitive. The sophomore, Miracle Nine, and the juniors raced against each other in practices to see who would compete as what category. They raced to see who was the better boat. When they raced against California for the first time, each of the categories won. Then Washington College rowing team went to Poughkeepsie and Al Ulbrickson, the coach, decided to but the junior varsity to go against California

Needless to say the start of my high school swimming career did not go as I had imagined it, and the gender inequality became more and more evident as I continued in the Naperville North swim team program. We had early morning practice at Naperville Central, meaning we practiced earlier than a normal morning practice so we would have time to travel back to Naperville North. Sometimes the bus that would take us from Naperville Central in the morning to Naperville North was late and the swim team was late to class, which was frightening as a freshman. Then after school instead of going straight to practice we would go home, for what seemed like no time at all, and then we would have to change and get the carpool going so we could all get to Naperville Central to

Throughout my five years continuing on my sixth; I had never became so close to any sport/club offered at my school. Our team is considered a “family.” We stand by eachother through times of doubt and reminisce on our good memories. We enjoy the company of one another. Every Friday night before our Saturday morning races, the team would all sit down together and have a nice meal together. The team is a close knit group even with students joining and graduating from the

Western and Indigenous knowledge systems differ in values, habits of mind and practices; however, there has been productive cross-cultural collaboration that integrates global vision with social and cultural dimensions. Productive collaboration addresses past contradictions in the coevolution of society, science and environment. Ten Canoes is a cross-culturally collaborative film that was meant to portray the Yolngu community in its true representation in an attempt to bridge the black and white Australian cultural divide by sharing its traditions and values with a non-Indigenous audience. Important spiritual and cultural information is shared throughout the passage of the film that frames and contextualizes the cosmology of the Yolngu people (Clothier & Dudek, 2009: p. 85). Dutch-born director Rolf De Heer and Yolngu director Peter Djigirr consolidate to show modern audiences the “community’s cultural continuance and to connect between individuals and the community both past and present” (Clothier & Dudek, 2009: p. 86). Additionally, Ten Canoes is only spoken in the Yolngu’s Indigenous language. For Yolngu audiences, “the use of their own languages in Ten Canoes highlights the vibrancy of a continuing linguistic heritage” (Clothier & Dudek, 2009: p. 87). Simultaneously, audiences that cannot understand the language of the Yolngu people read subtitles that create a critical intimacy to engage in “passion and reason while seeking understanding” (Clothier & Dudek, 2009: p.

Coach P.’s training program should have focused more on psychological variables and group processes earlier in the season. Instead, training was focused on improving individual team member performance. The Varsity team comprised of the eight top individual performers (Snook & Polzer, 2004). Mistrust between Varsity team members began developing following spring break. Lack of trust and other related psychological issues prevented the Varsity team from synchronizing their rowing even though they were the top individual performers.
