The School Basketball Tryouts

Jamie goes out on the court. He is feeling nervous because he is afraid that he will use his last streak of good luck. He dribbles the ball down the court. His heart is pounding. Jamie gets the ball. He goes to shoot it. He is hoping he will miss, but the ball swooshes into the basket. Everyone in the ground goes crazy! They just won the game. Everyone is happy except for Jamie. Jamie gets cheered by his team. They make their way to the locker room to change. As Jamie is coming up to the hallway Jamie runs into Froggy.

The players of a high school football team were traveling home from their football game in Fernandina Beach, Florida. It had been a tough night. It was August and still hot. The game had lasted three hours, and the players had to play offense, defense, and special teams because there

It’s one day until cheer tryouts. For some reason I was thinking about it during the middle of math class, but I’m not real sure as to why. “Trista, what’s the answer to number…….” I didn’t notice the teacher was talking to me so I didn’t hear what number it was. I’m never listening anyways. “Sorry sir, what number was that again?” I said. “Number three, Trista.” My neighbor answered me, so I fumbled with my papers to find the right page. After about a decade, I finally found it, but the teacher had already moved on to the next student. I can’t believe I was so zoned out. I’m kind of used to it by now. Lunch was the same thing. I was completely zoned out and still thinking of cheer. That’s all I could think about and nothing else. All throughout

Michael was leaving his football game, and he was really depressed because his team had lost 6-46 to an easy team to beat, and his mom, dad, older brother, and younger sister, came in from out of town to watch him and his team play. When he got home, his older brother was in his bedroom and he looks at Michael and says, “You’re team played fantastic

Have you ever wanted to participate in a sport, but you failed at a tryout? This paper talks about why we should no longer have tryouts for kid’s sports. This is a complicated issue because there are many sides to it, for example, some people may think that it tryouts teach kids to fail. This argument is misleading because if kids fail at a tryout, they may think that they are useless in the sport and they may give up sports altogether. The actual question to be decided is, should there be tryouts and why. Tryouts can be problematic because the coach would choose someone who is taller and older to play, it could stop a kids participation in a sport, and coaches would rather choose favorites from a past season of coaching.

Five Star Basketball Camp is a camp for basketball players that want to improve their skills and techniques on a high level of basketball such as the NBA better known as the National Basketball Association. The camp was found in 1966 and was the first specialized sports camp. Famous NBA players like Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant, Lebron James, Stephan Curry, Dwayne Wade, and many more attend this camp. Over 422 coaches that participated in the Five-Star camp have coached in the NBA or the NCAA. Not only the Five-Star camp is just for boys, it is also for girls that want to play basketball. The Five-Star camp has different location like California, New York, Texas, Florida, and many more locations for players that will put them on the court for

There are many high school basketball phenoms that are scouted by pro teams even when they are in high school. A select few in the past have gone straight to the NBA out of high school and had a lot of success, while some players go to college all four years to develop their skills at the next level. However, there are athletes that will waste one year at the college level just so they could get to the NBA. Why would you waste one year of your life when you could have already been in the NBA a year earlier? Basketball players should either go to college all four years and enhance their skills and get a solid education. If not, skip college and go straight to the NBA, rather than wasting a year of your life, and possibly a classroom seat for a person who wanted to get an education.

Now all we had to do was wait for the coach to talk to us one by one letting us know if we made the team. All the sophomores went first, and when he got done talking to the sophomores it was time for the freshman to find out. Nobody knew who made it yet and who got cut because after he was done talking, you would go out through the locker room. So with all of us nervous we let Anthony go first because we thought if Anthony made it, we had some pretty high chances of making the team. After Anthony was done, he came up the stairs with a giant smile and a fist pump that got everyone excited. “Atta boy Berg,” we all shouted at once.

On January 21st, 2016, as I was preparing for my senior year cheer tryouts, I experienced a horrible injury. As I was doing a tumbling pass I dislocated and broke three bones in my right leg. I fractured my tibia, fibula, and talus. I was immediately rushed to the hospital and had emergency surgery. I had two plates inserted with 10 titanium screws. I was immobilized for the next 10 weeks. Because of the surgery I missed the next week of school and had to catch up very quickly. Although this injury slowed me down, I still made the varsity cheer team and maintained a 3.5 gpa. Even though I was able to make the cheer team and maintain above a 3.5 gpa, looking back I received two of the only B’s of my highschool career. I believe that if I had

It was a hot summer day, and Jackson was at his house getting ready for his baseball game. He was very anxious because if his team won the game they would be able to qualify for a tournament, that a lot of teams from other states would be participating in. But, before all of that came they needed to win this game. Jackson got his hat and went to the car, where his dad was waiting for him. On the way to the field his dad encouraged him to try his best and help his team. An hour later after they warmed up, the game started. Then, two hours later, the game ended and Jackson's team won four to two.

You’re can’t play, you’re just a girl. That’s what they told me when I decided I wanted to play basketball. I didn’t listen. Despite the naysayers I’m going continue doing what something I like and enjoy doing. I would like to attend The Wolfpack Woman’s Basketball camp to better my shooting skills, build my confidence and be a part of a team.

Ask questions!! You want them to know you and see you working hard. DONOT be afraid to ask for help.

We had traveled in the minivan for 5 hours, for a group of 13 year old boys this trip felt like eternity. However, our excitement kept us all jaunting to each other about silly middle school shenanigans, who can dougie better, and how we were all going to “murk” this tryout. Johnny Evans, Malik Chatman, Gavin Rose, Ronnie Fountain, and I were all selected to try-out for the 14u Team South football team. This team would represent all the best players in the southeast and clash them against other regions best athletes. This would be a 3 day try-out. After leaving Orlando, the van had finally reached its destination. Coach Rose jingled to the car “Atlanta is the place to be, with orange peaches and southern tea,” we all stared at Gavin as his face turned as red as a Crayola. We pulled into the lot of the hotel all participating athletes had been assigned right off of I-75. We all unloaded the van of our luggage proceeded to the check in, Coach got the keys for room 325 and 326. I was so tired of riding in back of the van that I did not really care how the room would look as long as I could put my bags down and fall right into the bed. Malik, Johnny and I entered our room 326 to the right was with a bathroom sink, a mirror, and shower. On the left, a mini kitchen with a stove, island table, and refrigerator. In front of us, there were two wooden dressers pinned together with a television on top. Near the window, there was a small table with a lamp as well as chair in the corner.

As can be seen, both of these examples surround current employees and their advancing careers as well as increasing growth and development, but a whole lot can be learned just by tying to get a position to begin with. When an individual finds a company that one is interested in working for, typically the individual applies and then it is left up to the employer to determine the next steps. One of the steps that a business establishment may introduce to an applicant is a virtual tryout (Snell, Morris, & Bohlander, 2016). William Frierson explains, “The Virtual Job Tryout is a unique pre-employment test that allows those differences to surface in manner that helps recruiters quickly identify the best-fit candidates, and hire a workforce that delivers superior results.” (Frierson, 2012, para. 6).
