I saw the finish line, only 400 meters to go. I remembered what Coach Sorrels said about when to kick it and it was time. I saw the time ticker, and I was shocked about my time I ran even harder. Passing the finish line, it felt like this run took forever. My family was there to congratulate me, along with the other teammates and
Not only did I choose to participate in this program for academic reasons. I choose it for physical training. This program also does a lot of community service which not only looks good on your college transcript, but it helps people realize the true meaning an value of it. All of these things are the main reasons why I enrolled in JROTC. PT workout plan (make up for absence on 9/27/12) * Mile run- 8 minutes at the most * Stretch- 10 minutes (exercises vary) * Pushups (10-4 counts)-2 minutes *
During my high school career, I have put a lot of effort forward in my schoolwork and have challenged myself with advanced courses. I have successfully been competing against my other classmates to try and be the best I can be. I have received honor roll every semester of my high school career. Being selected as a potential candidate for NHS proves my academics, but what makes me a great candidate is not just my average. It is difficult to narrow down many instances in which I have showed great leadership.
My schedule consisted of waking up early every day and taking a 1.5 mile run, followed by taking 500 jump shots, a similar exercise Kobe performed during his high school career. Conquering the fear of failure became an imaginary bond between Kobe and I. I knew that working hard all summer honed my physical and mental edge on the court. When tryouts came around, the odds were against me, as the team roster had been established, but I did my best Kobe impersonation and played harder than anyone else on the court. I made the team because just like Kobe, I wasn’t going to fail. This experience taught me to have fortitude, and to always strive for my dreams.
Their starting line up consists of two seniors, two juniors, and one sophomore, all who were part of the championship team last year. This experienced combination of players will be a lethal hit to any team that is in their way. Russ Smith is the driving force that propels this team. He has all the skills it takes to keep the team together and has helped amass such a great run at the end of their season, with a 42-point outbreak against Houston two weeks earlier. The Louisville Cardinals are not going down this year; they will fly all the way to the top.
I need to set goals in each one of my classes and stay focused and put my school work first. The accomplishments I have made in the past relate to the information I have learned about myself in the self-assessments. In the past when it came to school work I had a tendency to become unorganized. However I learned to organize my work and learn strategies to study and eventually I found a way that seemed to fit me the most. When it come to my personality, in the past I always have put others before myself.
That’s why injuries are so common now, everyone is pushing the limits to make it to the top and live their dream. There is so much work to get race ready in Motocross. Some say it’s as much as 90% preparation and 10% racing. The physical requirements to be at the top level are ridicules; you have to be in amazing shape. Not only having great cardio, but a lot of strength to throw around a 220+ pound dirtbike for 30minutes plus two laps, twice.
In addition, I did pretty good in the 12-minutes run also, probably because running is my favourite sport. I try to run 3 times per week during 30 to 45 minutes. So, running is one of my strengths, because I enjoy doing it and I practice a lot. However, for both of the tests I feel like I could have done better times and scores. Indeed, I went to run and walk outside to do the tests, and it was snowing and there was a lot of ice on the sidewalk, which was making my run harder than if I would have been in a gym or running outside with perfect conditions.
Football is a game of sport, measured by the ability of one to be better, faster, stronger, or quicker than the other to result in a favorable outcome. But one apparent idea of fearing what is ahead of you is an obstacle that many find, rely on faith being another form of training. I can train diligently for months or even years, to be at the peak of my physical performance. But as it may be revealed sadly, there is always someone training harder or better than myself. Does that make me a loser or a winner that I had faith that what I did what I could do?
Why would someone work their tails off, practice for numerous hours a week, eat right, and focus so much on being the best if winning wasn't important? Think about that for a second. Why would someone instill so much time into something that just wasn't worth it?Vince Lombardi once said, "If winning isn't everything, then why do they keep score?" This is something that really got to me and has been embedded in my head for as long as I can remember. Winning may not be everything, but it definitely is a very important factor in sports.
