Summary Of Roberto Gonzalez's Soccer Team

Playing soccer will lead to major achievements in people’s lives because of teamwork. In soccer “a player may be homeless yet he finds a family in his team” (Dertarczynski,2009). The truth is that there is a great deal of collaboration in soccer which creates a family for the player. Every player has a role to perform when playing and they all work hand in hand towards the same goal as a team. In this situation, players learn how to relate to each other, thereby motivating each other to be better player. Teammates learn how to trust each other to build important goals as a team. As a matter of fact, teamwork in soccer will increase people’s efficiency both at work and in school. People will learn how to accept their friends or co-worker’s weakness and try to help them to succeed in their various tasks. This will reduce people’s weakness’s and help them form better problem-solving skills towards difficult

On February 28, 2005, I experienced one of the most exciting events that anyone could ever experience – winning a State Championship. The day my soccer team made history is a day I’ll never forget. However it is not just that day we won the title, but the whole experience of the preceding season that got us there. From start to finish, my team’s 2004-2005 season taught me that the platitude is true. You can do anything you set your mind to.

This essay explains how Milton Mayeroff’s “Major Ingredients of Caring,” in his book, On Caring, relates to coaching soccer. There are eight “ingredients” that Mayeroff discusses in his book that all relate to becoming a successful coach. If a coach anaylzes and considers each ingredient, he can deeply develop his skill as a caring trainer and guide of the players in his charge. Mayeroff’s basic principle is that when a person cares about someone else, the person being cared for will grow. In order for a coach to be successful, he needs his players to grow; therefore he needs to care about all the players on his team. A mindful coach will take into

In order to be accepted into a discourse community, a person must learn typical ways people in that community communicate and argue. In this paper I will prove that I entered the discourse community of my high school soccer team by acquiring knowledge, establishing my credibility, and learning the game I love. In other words, I will be using the ethos, logos, and pathos appeals. I love to play soccer and watch the professionals who play on TV. I have played since I was ten years old and always played in a city league team. The requirements of being part of the team were simple but at the same time very hard. I was recently part of my high school soccer team, the Crowley Eagles. People might

During my first season of competitive travel soccer I thought I had been blessed with an amazing coach. His name was Kenrick Ramirez. Kenrick was from Trinidad and Tobago and had a thick caribbean accent that at first I could not understand. I was intrigued by Kenrick’s personality because he was so much different than the other typical soccer coaches I had had my whole life. He seemed to know everything like he was the soccer god. Unfortunately, none of

It did not matter if it rained or if it was sunny Carlos was out there every day at the park practicing to get better. His teammates would see how hard he would work but still they would say harsh words to him. Carlos remembers the method of his brother to ignore his teammates. Carlos coach saw how Carlos would practice with his team then with a personal trainer, he was impressed how Carlos was improving. Carlos would motivate himself everyday like saying to himself to not give up it was a pain in the butt practicing everyday, but at the end it's going to be worth it. He would always come home tried an would go to his back yard to kick a ball to get better every day. He always had to motivate himself to get something he wanted or needed he would not just say positive words for himself but he would always be confident on himself. There was a time when he had a soccer game he was playing so well that a scouter saw him play when the game was over the scouter talk to him if he wanted to play with Chivas de Guadalajara. He so excited to hear this news, but he knew that his parent would not let him because it to far and also they had to move to Mexico for him to play. Chivas de Guadalajara was his dream

Immigrant Student Success: Integration through SportsIntegration is important for immigrant student’s success in school and their sense of belonging. Immigrant students in most countries have worse academic performance than students originally from the country, this is thought to be due to a language barrier. One of the most important ways children feel like they belong other than at home is at school, and one of the best ways to get school age children to get to know each other is on a sports team.There is a considerably larger gap between immigrants and non-immigrants in reading performance compared to mathematics or problem solving. That would most likely point to a lack of text comprehension, meaning that a language barrier may explain

Success is a very sought after aspect in our society. Everyone strives for the nicest car, the largest home, or the most exciting job. However, Malcolm Gladwell’s book, Outliers, discusses how the path to success is not simple and it has a lot of factors that play into it. Being on a sports team throughout school or being a “student-athlete” may be one of them. Student athletes learn concepts like teamwork, hard work, and persistence—all of which are critical parts of the average adult career. The sports that these children and teens participate in fuel their competitive drive that can only help them in the workplace.

Sports are a significant part of society and spectators enjoy particular events regardless of the type. However, there are many players who develop special working and social relationships with whom they are participating regardless of the type of sport. The relationship and how people interact with one another can be the determination of how successful a team can be. The particular film based on a true story that I chose is titled When the Game Stands Tall. This film consists of a high performing football team of De La Salle High School in the state of California. Jim Caviezel portrays the head coach (Bob Ladouceur) as a man with such vision and passion that goes beyond the fundamental principles of coaching the game of football. The football team had won 151 games without being defeated which is the highest winning record a team has had in the game of football. The film shows the internal struggles of the players in their lives as people, and how they perform on the field. It also shows the external tragic difficulties that they face while they attend and play for De Le Salle High School. In the movie, the head coach helps the students/players by not only coaching them but also showing them how to live a flourishing life by committing to endure difficult life situations and the way to overcome them. He helps teach the principles of brotherhood and companionship with the team that they build. In the movie, the head coach and the staff had taught the players

Being only five feet nine inches hasn’t stopped Frenchman, Antoine Griezmann, from being one of the best football (soccer) players in the world. The person that will be discussed in this essay is Antoine Griezmann. Born in Macon, France, Antoine Griezmann is a world-renowned football player on Atletico Madrid and the French National Team, who are both widely known for their skill and competitiveness. Being rejected from many football clubs and perseverance is what shaped Griezmann into the person he is today. To Griezmann “touch and technique are prevailing mantras” (Everything). This essay will explain why Antoine Griezmann likes to use the Spanish style of play even though he is French.

“Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.“ John Robert Wooden is considered the greatest teacher, coach of all time and believed character was the ideal key to success. Wooden taught his players to work and achieve at their best ability. The Pyramid of Success was invented by Wooden that consisted of fifteen qualities that guided his players and others to achieve what they desired. To be able to reach full potential, Wooden’s players had to follow his coaching. As a result of Wooden building character in his men, they listened and followed the rules which allowed them to focus on their necessity.

“McClure, you are a waste of oxygen and life”, my verbally abusive coach spit from him flaming mouth one last time as I walked out of his office. I was numb, and in shock, but relaxed, oddly feeling at peace with myself and my decision. Soccer had brought so much confidence, passion, work ethic, and pure joy to my life, it was something so stable and rewarding for 15 years. 15 years of endless passion enwrapped in pain and sweat, accompanied by life lessons I could not have gone on without, yet within 2 years, this wonderful aspect of my existence collapsed.

Many of those ideas have been reflected on “The Happiness Plunge” by Adam Pervez when he explains how living the American dream and still not being happy can be very difficult. Of course, all parents always have that specific sport we want our children to play, for example, if you have a boy football is one of the number one choices for our children to play. But what about if it’s not atisfying our child, like to them it dosnt make them happy. In The Happiness Plunge, Perez talks about how he was a field engennier, a business development specialist but it still wasn’t enough. This reflects the udea of your son bring the best quarter back of the team, compared to other football teams he’s still the best but he dosnt look forward to going to practice, or getting out onto the field, to him it’s just something he feels he has to do. This idea is reflected in Pervez article when he says “I was following a script for success written by someone else, or by society” (Pervez). A lot of the time parents unintentionally have their children follow a script that they were taught by their parents. Parents are raising their children in a consensus reality which is a reality that has been created by culture through practices, behaviors, shared beliefs, rules and artifacts. Moreover, instead of parents letting their children choose to try something they are intesred in or they try different things they have to stick to a script or to something they feel is correct. In another example, Pervez tells how he identified writing, traveling, telling stories, and helping others were his passions and decided to take the happiness plunge where to him, “there [was] more to life than the American Dream we’ve been sold.” In other words, parents tend to stick to specific sport for their sons to playbeing that’s the ideal sport for boys according to society, so naturally that’s what e have to

I fell in love with sports at a very young age. My first encounter with a team occurred because of my father. It's important to note that sports mean different things to different people, it can provide an escape from the trials and tribulations that life brings as well as a dose of excitement that plagues those with a routine. For my father, sports offered a transnational bond, a tie to a geographic location that would end up developing one of my strongest allegiances. The game was futbol, and the team was Club Deportivo Guadalajara (Chivas). In this short paper I will discuss a brief history of the Chivas organization, including their origins, development and success.

Part of my plan for continual improvement requires me to reflect on ideas yet implemented from my previous individual learning plan. These experiences included inviting more professionals in the community such as our newly organized soccer team, to come and speak to students. Since soccer is embedded deeply in the Hispanic culture, this is a great way to connect to the cultural linguistic learners of my school. Dong (2013) added the ELL’s prior experience is a great resource, which should be included in lessons. Other guest speakers would include plumbers, architects, and engineers giving the students relevancy about schoolwork and real world application. Lastly, activities involving visiting professional worksites and attending a NASA internship program were on the list of self-improvement events with good intentions.
