So I used all of the negative thoughts to put me in a mindset to practice hard, and win. It was not a walk in the park with the long lasting, painful , but yet productive practices came to effect. Through-out my outdoor season i started preforming as if I was the best at what I do. Easily working my way up the charts , winning race after race. Finally making through conference placing 2nd , now able to attend states.
This goal can be measured by comparing it to the SMART goal methodology we discussed in class. SMART stands for specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. This goal is specific because they must train and perform better each day to win the championship in the few weeks they had. It is measurable since they check each person’s time and how they progress, if one runner’s time doesn’t make it they get cut out of the top 7. Coach Newton always tells the boys however fast you run, run faster.
It's true, I sometimes wonder how my life would be if I'd never fallen so deep for "the beautiful game." Most likely, I'd be Dead somewhere and I'm not hyperbolizing when I say so either. I'm to the point where even if it didn't, I'd still want soccer to be a part of my life in general but having accomplished this much in such few years Is something I'll cherish. From scoring so many goals In my home township league to top scorer for the 5th best travel team in the state of New Jersey; it can, what to me, be considered the ingenuity I've written about before. When you see your craft reward you for the hard work you put in, it can be one of the best feelings in the
Tiffany Furino In between two worlds of running Throughout my life I have enjoyed running, I have been a competitive runner since second grade. There hasn’t been one year in my life when I wasn’t training for the next season of running. I haven’t been able to stick to one type of running, people usually chose between long or short distance; but I love both. Outsiders don’t seem to understand the difference between Cross County, and Track and field. As being an insider in the running world, track and cross country are two completely different worlds, and I have found myself stuck in between both.
“Way to go McKenzie!” she replied. Making the OPD (Olympic Development Program) track team means I’m one step closer to reaching my dream. At our first practice, I was told that managers from the Olympics will be watching our track meets and that they will only pick one boy and one girl for each race. I was also told that I would be running against one of the nation’s best runners. When I met my component, Hailey McIntosh, she told me that she has won every race she’s ever been in and that she would most likely get the
I now look at the stress I have had in my past and can see how some of that stress has given me the motivation to succeed and conquer the tasks, which has caused an abundance of happiness and pride once I actually accomplish success and beat the stress. I can relate all this information back to times during my career playing football, where I was told often by coaches and others that I would not ever start or play or have a chance to get any further than high school , because I was very undersized, but I turned all that stress from them telling me that and used it as motivation to work harder, practice ore, and prove all of them wrong. I now can proudly say I succeeded and received a full academic and athletic scholarship to the University of Alabama and proved to all of them that I could make it and that stress they caused me never discouraged me from reaching my
I would encourage Jeff to do some running in the off-season to increase both his speed and stamina. I have attached a few running drills that I think could help him in the future. It is not easy being the coach and sometimes I am faced with these tough decisions. The reality is that not everyone can make the team and unfortunately your son was one of them. If Jeff works hard on his running it would greatly improve his chances of making the team next year.
Couch Carter pushed the boys to be there best and to be the best they had to learn to run a whole game so carter made them to running all the time. If they came to training late he would make them do 1000 suicides and if they said they “N” word they would have to do the same. Doing the suicides made them fit and they could run a whole game and they started winning. Another way carter inspired the boys was with determination they studied then though the gym was unlocked and coach carter retired from coaching because the parents didn’t want him to coach anymore but the players wanted him to be there coach so he coached they team again so it was like he never
I thought to myself that I had tried this whole season and that it was my first year. I told my brother my time and he said that it was okay it was my first year. When track ended I thought to myself that I still had 3 more years. This sophomore year I’m really committing myself to get a good time and beat my freshmen year time. A race is coming up this week and I hope I get a good time so I can make my brother proud.
I know that if she could do, then I can do it as well. That is what motivated me to run better. The first run in BCT was over the time I needed to be at. My Drill Sergeant was running behind the platoon with me trying to push me to catch up with them, I was too behind to even be able catch up. The Drill Sergeants knew instantly that I would be placed into C run group, which was the slowest group.
