Everyone here is just as important whether they are the starter on the team or come off the bench. This attitude you have that you’re the best option makes me sick. Jacob there is no I in team. Not only did you miss practice yesterday your selfishness also caused you to let your teammates down. So I want you to go stand over there and starting tomorrow you’re moving back down to junior varsity.” At this moment I was completely irate and could have thrown my helmet down and quit right then and there.
Okay, we have all seen the movies and read the books. We know what will happen in the end before we get to the end. An underdog team that nobody believes in will do something special and win some sort of championship or title. But that can never happen right? I mean come on; the worst can’t possibly beat the best, can they?
In every dance performance are company had I excelled and was pushed to the front, in doing that, I became big-headed and thought I was the best and that no one could tell me anything. My head got so big that I would hurt new members that came into the team. I would make fun of the new members and when they would ask for help I would blow them off. Being a team player at this point of my life I was unaware of the meaning and didn’t think twice about finding out and really didn’t care. In high school, I had a worse experience in not being a team player.
The idea of the university athletic department could have been made to pay financial restitution to the victims instead of taking away games. The family of Jerry Sandusky could have been charged with defamation of character on the university by his actions. Removing the statue of Joe Peterno should have never occurred because he earned that title as well as those young men who won the games. The outcome is still the same in regard that no matter how much you fine or punish this university the actions taken upon these victims can never be taken back. The outcome by the NCAA has sent a message to other universities and colleges to prove that punishments are far worse than could ever be expected.
Young McCandless did not agree. In fact, Walt “told Chris no way. He was only twelve then, so all he could do was complain. If he’d been fourteen or fifteen, he would have simply gone on without me” (Krakauer 109). This quote offers clean evidence of McCandless’ willingness to continue climbing while ignoring the reality that his family was exhausted which was a potential danger.
However, Browning shows the naivety of the public and problems within society as one year later, we learn that he has been forgotten. “A year on this very day”, the ay the public have forgotten him causes the patriot to accept his fate. He shows no anger or struggle, leaving the rest to God to change their opinions of him. This is a conflict of what the patriot originally was; a hero. However, this poses the question of whether a hero can be heroic without support from individuals around them.
As a football coach I believe that one of my main ideals will be the utmost importance placed on success and winning. I cannot agree at all with the direction that young participation sports are going we their viewpoint on winning. I do not feel that a child should be brought up to believe that he will be rewarded solely for attempting a challenge. This kind of backwards philosophy will bring many problems in the near future because we are telling the children that life is about giving the effort, not about actually succeeding. This is not the case in any kind of professional field today because no one really cares how hard you try unless you produce results and overcome the challenges you are faced with.
The other team is a joke and my Bro only faces 3 shots. The game ends 5 to 0 with a win and a big trophy that I never had the chance to touch. My brother wins the most outstanding player award by only letting in 1 goal the entire tournament. The tradition of sickness happened my brother was sick for
Hating to lose, but realizing that it was only my first race ever. Though being a senior expectations were high. People begining to doubt that i could make it far as a high school hurdler. I set out to proove to myself and others that with hardwork and dedication, I will be able to make it far this season. Unfortunatly, my indoor season was a fail.
Colleges give excessive control over a sports to coaches and the coaches have the ability to indirectly give benefits to their players. This is also a continuation of the Pryor saga. The bigger controversy of the story was that his coach, Jim Tressel, knew that Pryor and a couple of other players had illegally merchandised his belongings and received awards from a tattoo parlor (Schlabach), but coach Tressel did not report this to the NCAA. This event happened before their Sugar Bowl game in 2010, in which they probably could not have won without Pryor (Schlabach). Despite Tressel’s inaction, Ohio State only suspended their prized coach for 2 games of the 2011 football season and fined him a measly $250,000 of his $3.5 million annual salary (Schlabach).
