Coach Coming to Town:

Most people would say that when Coach Boone came into town it was a wrong thing, from my point it was the breakthrough for a lot of change and progression in town. If it wasn’t for Coach Boone becoming the new coach the town would of never realized the value of teamwork with the football players, the meaning of that it’s just not about race, and leadership.

When Coach Boone came into town the football team was not getting along at all. Everyone in the community was against the fact that he couldn’t run the team, and since he was African American no one would respect him. As the movie progressed Coach Boone made the team get to know one another. Making them do drills and taking a long run during the cold morning made them understand that they were a team, not just an individual. Going to camp really made them work as a team and learn the meaning of teamwork. They was forced to put their differences aside and come together, because at the end of the day it was all about what they loved; which was football. When they came back from camp, they was one, a team! They learned to communicate, and make true decisions

When he came there he was making a huge difference in the community. If it wasn’t for him, then the team wouldn’t of been able to get through their differences and come together. He also impacted the older adults in the community. He showed them that even if they did whatever in their power to try to break him he still was going to coach, and that showed courage and dedication that the team needed to see. When he and the other coaches didn’t see eye to eye, he showed them that just because he was a different race, he couldn’t be a good example to the football

    So many different plays are called during a football game in order to increase the team’s chances of winning the competition. In Edward Hirsh’s poem “Execution,” a much more difficult battle is being waged against the coach. The narrator’s use of structure, tone, and symbolic meaning helps the reader to essentially level with them and understand the gravity of the situation that the coach and everyone else is in now. Some of the most basic fundamental tasks can lead you to victory on a football field. Throughout the poem, the narrator uses a free verse structure that is one of the essential elements of poetry.…

    Coach of the Century Tom Landry once said, “A coach is someone who tells you what you don’t want to hear, and has you see what you don’t want to be, so you can be who you have always known what you can be.” Kevin Kanipe, “Coach Kevin”, is the most relevant man when you see that quote because he assists oh helping young athletic softball players, uses his spare time to coach, and helps getting these softball athletes getting recruited.

    Thursday, October, 8, 2015, I was privileged with the opportunity to see the production, Our Town, written by Thornton Wilder, and directed by Rose Riordan. Our Town takes place in a small town called Grover’s Corner in the early 1900’s. Our Town is presented in a much different manor than most plays today. Instead of changing sets and meticulously hand painted backdrops, the actors use nothing but some chairs and a pair of ladders. The storyline of the play is intriguing, but not so much as the elaborate use of chairs and ladders as the only props.…

    Algona High School’s production of “Our Town” by playwright Thornton Wilder shows that life in itself is beautiful and interesting, but that humans take it for granted every day. This is shown by the activities of everyday people living in Grover’s Corner, New Hampshire. This play shows that even the most mundane tasks and daily activities are still valuable and significant in life, and that though you may not see the end coming, it will come, and that this life we have is transient. The first scene starts with the Stage Manager, who acts as the narrator, directly telling the audience the setting, which is Grover’s Corner, New Hampshire. The date is the 7th of May, 1901.…

    When challenged with the arrival of new school boards, all black schools were forced to integrate with all white schools causing disturbances that could jeopardise their treasured football tradition.

    There were two main problems that had to be solved in the film. First, both the black and white players on the T.C. Williams High School football team had to work together to create a successful team. Each player was required to change their attitude and open their mind for this to be possible. I believe Coach Boone’s coaching was the solution to this problem. His coaching style was to the point, intense, and equal towards all players.…
