We all have that one person that motivates us to be successful. Me personally, throughout all of high school, one of my teammates, Kayla, constantly spoke about me behind my back. Continuously, Kayla rambled “she’s not good” and “she sucks at basketball”, as much as she could. Consequently, I lost confidence and became intimidated and anxious, along with fearing the years I had left with her. However, I overcame this adversity by remembering the greater adversity that a high school basketball…
_ Female reader; 01 The berserk family that belonged to you consisted of five human beings, including you. In first place was your father, the noisy bald-headed man acted more like a moonstruck fitness coach for someone who was about to enter the olympics rather than an actual Dad. Even though your father acted like a coach with no chill, he still managed to treat your three other bothers- I mean, brothers, with more respect than you ever received. Thus you diligently worked hard ever…
Soccer Liz Well, my coach did say to be aggressive. It’s not my fault I did what I did. It was a cool Thursday evening, perfect for playing soccer. My coach made us run some drills before the game, just the normal dribbling and kicking practice. I was great at soccer, better than most of the other kids that played on my team, and almost as good as the kids that played on official teams with their schools. I’m pretty sure I was that teams star player. I looked over at the coach. He seemed to…
History making is in the air and the game is getting closer to the end, you only have one chance to make one shot, to cash your check in the bank and the buzzer sounds. Your team wins because of you! You did it! But how? Basketball is amazing. Everyone says, “ball is life” but I personally believe I bring life to basketball. My natural athleticism and electrifying excitement I bring to the court is primarily why I believe what I do. I get fans riled up, I get the crowd jumping out their seats, I…

I will learn about my topic by studying and watching the technique and movements of the most elite players and then doing what I have to do to put that into action. Some sources I…
The following writing represents a review and criticism of Twain's short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County." This short story is one of Twain's earliest literary successes and most accomplished early sketches, this 2,600-word narrative was written following a three-month stay at Jackass Hill and Angel's Camp in California's Calaveras County in late 1864 and early 1865.

In 2012 there were four deaths in relation to water polo, hundreds of reported serious injuries and even more minor injuries. With a death rate of 1.06, beaten only by men's softball; a sport to be wary of is water polo because of the constant threat of injuries.

Sounds simple now but it is not,the game is so much more then that. Three types of…

Finally, I anaylise why I used the drill I did and whether it helped to improve Alex’s dribbling in the game of…
variables I analyzed for my correlation data were shooting footwork and dribbling. I wanted to see these results because I wanted to see if there was a correlation between shooting and footwork. If I were a coach, I would want to see how these variables relate so I can see what can improve shooting scores since that is what makes your team win. For my regression model, I wanted to see the effects that footwork would have on dribbling. I wanted to see these variables because I wanted to know…
