Coach P is facing an unusual challenge-his JV team is consistently outperforming his Varsity team who’s supposed to be the strongest performers. With just four days left to the National Championships, he must decide on what should be done next to get the team performing well. The options include switching JV and Varsity boats, switching individual boat members or intervene to improve Varsity boat’s performance. Of the three options

When I did soccer my freshman year, we didn't have many students on the team, so we only had a junior varsity and a varsity team. I knew nothing about the sport, and the girl with the second least experience had started in sixth grade, so I was terrible to be honest. I did not even own a soccer ball. I started taking practice home with me and working on kicking

soccer by not making the starting varsity team in my junior year. I was very eager for the high school season to start and the chance to play soccer at the varsity level. After a long week of excruciating tryouts the head coach told me I would not have much playing time on the varsity team but he gave me the option of playing as a starter on junior varsity. When I was given the news I was disappointed to hear that my other friends were offered positions on the varsity team and I was not. After thinking

A personal accomplishment that reflects my ability to succeed at Penn State is making varsity cheerleading my senior year of high school. Some people don’t count cheerleading as a sport because they think that all we do is stand there on the sidelines and look “pretty”, but they don’t know what it takes to be a cheerleader. I got into cheerleading my sophomore year of highschool because some of my friends were trying out and I thought it’d be a nice reason to hang out with my friends after school

In one instance I was awarded the leadership role of captain of the junior varsity soccer team, something that I had not comprehended the value of until later. Throughout my whole life I have been involved in soccer, always striving to get better and to take my skills to the next level. The results after trying out for my varsity high school soccer team was not what I had anticipated, ultimately I was placed on the junior varsity team. Although the outcome was a failure for me I remained optimistic

It was cool to see. A few years ago, there was a soccer player who was obviously overweight. You think he was probably bad right? Wrong! He may not have fit the qualities needed to be a perfect soccer player, but he was fantastic. He was not fast, and he was not good at running long distances. He was the exact opposite of the typical soccer player. The one thing he had going for him was his weight. No matter how hard someone tried, no one could get the ball from him. Since he weighed so much more

According to the article “Cheerleading Most Dangerous Sport for Females” Andy Soltis states, “Cheerleading is by far the most dangerous role for female athletes…the study of junior and senior high-school cheerleaders found that 37 percent had symptoms of a concussion but failed to report them,” and soon enough I would begin my cheerleading career. Little did I know I would lose something I couldn't get back, yet this would be my best mistake. My cheerleading career began in the seventh grade

running through my mind. Monday came and I anxiously entered school to find out if I had made the team. I went towards the paper with the names of those who made the team and to my amazement, I had made the varsity team. I felt relieved and surprised at the fact that I had made it to the varsity team on my first try, but those
