Many of them are financially disadvantaged, the coach goes above and beyond to help these students, he buys them all new uniforms, and he also buys carly new basketball shoes. Static-Dynamic Some of the people on the “res” had a hard time relating to the coach in the beginning of the movie. In the beginning of the movie the little girl feels coach’s hair and tells her mother that it feels like sheeps fur. The students took a while to warm up to the coach also. In the end they didn’t look at him like their coach or teacher, but as his friend.
She puts up with this day-to-day and seems not to get mad that often. Before Dona Rosa made that comment to Carolina, Carolina saw Dona Rosa chasing Carolina’s son with a stick and Carolina says, “A woman of 48 years is fighting with a child!” (De Jesus, p.7) This gives us the chance to see how much more mature Carolina is than the rest of the women. “Dona Silvia came to complain about my children. She said they were poorly educated.” (De Jesus, p. 7-8) Carolina has to deal with these comments made
The girls were executing every play to perfection. We won the game, silencing a team of seniors who had taunted us for weeks before the game. Almost sweeter than our decisive win, I realized, was the fact that we were celebrating our win as a group of close friends, many of whom we had just made a few short months
She proclaimed that she wanted to watch something else. Like all little brothers, it was my natural instinct to argue with her. After ten minutes of arguing, we decided to end our confrontation in a game of basketball on my PS2. Since I play the game much more than she does, I demolished her. Than she offered to play best 2 of 3.
Watching Kobe play basketball during the 2010 NBA playoffs made me want to try out for my high school basketball team. I decided that I was going to dedicate that summer to emulate Kobe. Just like Kobe, I was fueled to be the best. I had that same internal fire burning within me and the same drive that was going to propel me onto a varsity basketball roster. It is common knowledge that the fear of failure is what drives Kobe to his infinite pursuit of excellence.
At the time I was not really sure because I was afraid of not making the team. So when I got to the tenth grade I decided to try out for the junior varsity basketball team. Making the basketball team was a big obstacle in my life that I had to overcome. Before tryouts began, the coach recommended I go to workouts to get in shape. Basketball workouts lasted about two weeks.
Collins was drafted and hired for the same reason, to restore the winning tradition of the franchise. Collins was a very successful player for the 76ers, but due to injuries was forced to retire the summer before the title won in 1983. Collins is considered one of the best coaches, however there are certain aspects of his coaching style I disagree with. For example, Jrue Holiday should not have been named the point guard because the position doesn’t fit his capabilities. He wants to be known for making the big plays, instead of distributing the basketball to his teammates.
The first two seasons at Duke were disappointing, but over the next few years Coach K made quite a remarkable turnaround. In 1984 Krzyzewski led his Blue Devils to the NCAA tournament for the first time. In 1986 Krzyzewski's Blue Devils got to the Final Four and came one game of winning the championship. Within that year, they had played more games than any other team in the history of college basketball. With five seniors graduating, many critics expected an immediate decline in Duke's basketball winnings, but Krzyzewski's 1987 Devils won 24 games and made it to the Sweet 16, losing to Indiana, who went on to win the national championship.
I started crying right in front of my parents, sister, and all of my friends and fans there but I didn’t care. It was normal to be upset over a loss like that, which is why I found it so strange that none of the boys wanted anyone to see them cry. I wouldn’t judge a boy’s masculinity if I saw him crying after a tough game like that. I think girls also have rules that society makes them abide by but I think it is easier for a girl to break the norm. If a boy were to try out for cheerleading or ballet, mostly every guy would make fun of him.
Such as the dunk from the free throw line that so many people try to attempt, but no one could do it like Michael Jordan. He brought personality to the game of basketball and no one would’ve been better to bring that than Michael Jordan. He was just simply a great all around player he could shoot, dunk, pass, and block. Any team that had Michael would definitely improve and only become better in time. No one else could lead one team to six championships in one decade, and would have come out of retirement twice to come back to the game of basketball.
