Tryout

It’s one of the most mysterious places on Earth: the depths of a baseball player’s backpack. Moms everywhere shutter to imagine stinky old socks, trash, and general grime lurking in the backpack. In truth, it’s almost never as bad as you would imagine. If you could use X-ray vision to see inside the ball player’s backpack, you may be pleasantly surprised! Snacks No athlete can compete without the right fuel, so it will come as no surprise to find a collection of great snacks in a baseball…

One of the most controversial subjects among sports fans is whether cheerleading is a sport or not. Many people say cheerleading is a sport, when others say cheerleading is just an activity. When people think of cheerleaders, they think of preppy girls cheering for a sport they know nothing about. They think cheerleaders do not put in work, and they just stand on the sidelines to look pretty. In reality, cheerleaders have to know what is going on during the game at all times. Many people…

discovered books and online tutorial videos to help increase my intellect and skill of the game. In my sophomore year, I tried out for the first basketball team of my basketball career and unfortunately I was cut from the team on the last day of tryouts. I was disappointed in myself because I spent two hundred and fifty dollars on my basketball shoes and didn’t even get a chance to showcase them in an expedition game. I tried out again in my junior and again I was cut from the team, but this…

grade. I knew I was good enough to make the team based on what I could do against grown men, but those were not organized, fast paced games. So, I knew it was going to be a hard road. However, to make things harder I missed the first day of tryouts. But during tryouts I was kept me on the court with the freshman, and they took the people for varsity to the main gym. That was when I realized “Okay, new goal… just try to make the freshman team.” So, I worked my butt off both days and I would say I…

been playing with your close friends for years on the same team, and then have to play with the year younger class because you birth years is a year “younger” than your friends. I was born in 1999 and should be playing with some sophomores, when tryouts came…

worried. I didn’t think that any high school could be so friendly that they didn’t actually need locks on the lockers. But, after my mom talked to the cheerleading coach at the time, I realized that maybe this school is somewhat nice. I missed tryouts, but they let me be a junior varsity cheerleader. I was so nervous about the first practice, but they seemed to be open to me cheering. This was all before school even started so I thought some of the people were nice, but others probably…

My most significant leadership experience would be when I was in the Girls Varsity Tennis Team. I had been in the tennis team during my highschool years, for 2 years. During that time I learned a lot about being a leader, such as what it means to lead others, and what qualities a leader should have. When I first started playing tennis I started at the position on 2nd doubles, to me I took it as that I was not good enough to play against an opponent by myself on the court. Which was entirely…

turned out that the other kids trying out had much more talent than I did, and all I was doing was just going up and down chasing the ball. I was struggling and it got to the point where I just gave up and hoped the scrimmage ended soon. Finally, the tryouts came to an end, I did not even what the score was, when I walked to my parents, they were just staring at me, just by the way they were looking at me I already knew that I did not make…

Being let go can be many things, it can be cut from a team, laid off, or rejected. For me, being cut was a shock and a huge disappointment. I tried out for the Bridgewater State University men’s soccer team and was dismissed in the second round of cuts. Soccer is not just a game for me, it is a significant part of my life. I have played year round for the past fourteen years both indoors and outdoors. Elected as varsity captain of my high school team, and leading goal scorer for both my…

Kevin Meza Personal Narrative Blue Ninjas November 14, 2017 One special event that has happened to me was when my dad first teaches me how to play soccer. When he first taught me was in our Guatemala vacation and we went to the field with my cousin and he started to show us the basics about soccer which was passing, shooting. I really wasn't doing good because I didn't even know how to play soccer or even kick the ball in the direction my dad was asking to kick it to. The first days it was…
