Hoop Dreams Perhaps the most basic and essential function of a movie is to evoke a particular response in its viewer. While watching the documentary Hoop Dreams, I have discovered this movie to be distinctly influential to the lives of many young men and women as it portrays the American dream. It involves two young men who reside in the housing projects in Chicago. Each has been given the great opportunity to attend a private school because of their phenomenal basketball skills. Each of these boys started off with the same goal in mind.
They did workouts together, he said, “I thought I would be pretty good at it, so I gave it a shot.” After senior year he attended college at Emporia State University. His exposure to college athletics was a great experience, one of his favorites. After his college career, his love for the sport did not pass and the only thing to do to keep that passion burning was to become a coach. However, he wasn’t always interested in coaching or teaching. His true dream was to work for the national government and become a park ranger.
Young men really do appeal to this product because they want to have a great in shaped body. They also used a celebrity endorsement by using Rich Froning 2011-2012 Crossfit Games Champion. I think this was such a good choice for a celebrity endorser because five years ago the Crossfit games did not exist. So, Rich Froning was just like every other guy in the gym just working out for the joy of it. Crossfit is a brand new and up and coming competition.
He has high expectations from his players rather it is athletically, academically and personality. He wants to know what his players are doing all the time and wants them to be leaders on and off the field even putting them through leadership classes at the college. He believes in his coaches and his players. He micro-manages but with a meaningful purpose and that is success. He wants his whole program to be successful off and on the field and to prepare his players for life after football and he has a plan for all of
He was star athlete for the team. He had a passion for football and dreamed of making a career out of it. He hoped that he could take part in helping the team make it to the championship. Not only was he filled hopes and dreams the whole town was too. Boobie was being raised by his uncle L. V. Miles.
When I was young I was in a sports group that played some different type of sport year round. Being a part of that group taught me how to work well as a team player even when I didn’t agree with everyone on the team. It also kept me in great shape and out of trouble that I could have possibly gotten into if my time wasn’t occupied. My ability to work on a team and as an individual was groomed from this group. Being involved in an African American Heritage team taught me patience while learning.
Jim is about four years older than I am, so I have always looked up to him. Seeing him play all the time made me want to play as well. From then on we played and played. I played on a number of basketball teams for Recreational Centers and Schools. I learned to play well and more importantly I began to love this sport.
These inspirational speeches for football help win their games. Tony D’Amato uses his lively voice to project his perspective on winning in life and on the field to his players, while Ray Lewis uses his prior football experience and religious background to inspire the importance of success. Both of the speakers use their intimidating
Sports have always played a major role in my life, and throughout my experiences in them I have learned many valuable life lessons. These experiences, along with these three specific philosophies, have helped shape the nature of how I view coaching and education. It is through the instruction and application of my coaching philosophy that I intend to deliver to my students and student athletes in order that they might learn from them as I have. I believe that these three specific philosophies (Dualism, Pragmatism and Transcendentalism) can help attribute to success not only in sports, but in life as well. Because I strongly believe in these three philosophies, I plan on adapting my coaching and teaching methods around them for my K-12 students and student
"If Winning Isn't Everything, Then Why do They Keep Score?" For as long as I can remember, I've played sports. The main reasons I loved playing sports is because they kept me occupied, I built lifelong relationships, and I stayed active all year long. Being in sports has taught me discipline, responsibility, and dedication. What I love the most about playing sports, more than anything, is the competition.
