htngvn Per.4 tfgjnm j September 07 2011 gfhn My Victorious Scar. When I was a freshman, I decided that my sport would be running. I wanted to do running because my brother ran varsity and I as well wanted to be varsity. He once told me that I couldn’t beat his time that he got for track or cross-country. What he had said got me kind of furious and sad.
During my Junior year in high school, I experienced an immense change that reversed my entire perception on why I ran Cross Country as a sport. I was always mediocre at best when it came to running. But in the fall of my Junior year, I realized I could be much more than what I had ever perceived. My coach constantly trained me to my ability everyday, to no avail, or so it seemed. My first couple of races within the season had been tolerable for my standards.
I also made sure I was doing the drills correctly and precisely because I knew how strict the coaches were. Sometimes I messed up, but I was determined to get it right on my next turn. I was so dedicated to making this team that I would go home and practice the drills, so that I could come back the next day and perform the drills perfectly. After a couple of days of tryouts I became confident in making the junior varsity basketball team. I eventually got used to the intense drills and I was capable of doing the drills correctly.
6. No because I feel that is so weak ! Some body bested you and instated of understanding why you got beat, you try to take him out 7. That’s a really weak way to gain the advantage but even though its not part of the game players do it. 8.
Deborah Tanner said “nearly everything is framed as a battle or game in which winning or losing is the main concern.” (Argument 4) each partner needs to be cognizant of this mindset and thru the utilization of mindful speech and listening be prepared to concede certain points. Often couples will completely lose focus on the current disagreement because one or both refers back to previous issues. This is unhealthy and should be avoided. Argument should never employ verbal abuse as a tactic to win. If this should occur an immediate apology can go a long way in repairing the damage.
The officials told us that they would only accept on more person on Team USA, so I was really going to have to push myself. Right before the race, I had a nervous feeling that I wasn’t going to make it on the team, but luckily I beat Hailey by two seconds. Right after the race, some strange man named Bryan came up to me and told me that Team USA was actually accepting two people instead of one. I was just glad I made it on the team! I had to work extra hard to be able to race in the Olympics.
I was afraid to start up again with the thought that I would have pain. I wanted to give up but knew I was back to what I have a lot of passion for, swimming. I continued to believe and have faith in myself that I can achieve my goal and get back into swimming. Finally fully recovered, I was back to being able to do what I enjoyed. After swimming about a year after my injury and thinking that I was back to normal, I encountered a second shoulder injury.
Agreeing & Disagreeing with an Argument When it comes to discussions of how sports, over time, have changed many perspectives on how to live life, one controversial issue has been whether or not sports have taught us to maintain discipline rather than being something that someone must pick a side on. Some people believe that sports were created and implemented in schools to teach patience, honesty, and discipline amongst the male population. In contrast, others maintain that sports are heavily competitive and that it is not the matter of discipline and sportsmanship anymore, but it is the vital need to win the game. In “Why Sports Matter,” Wilfrid Sheed, contends that in the old days, sportsmen were paid by glory, and by giving them the motivation they need to perform better. According to Sheed, “Schools and colleges also teach something by their very natures, which is that you are now playing for a whole community and not just yourself” (498).” Essentially, what Sheed is saying is that sports have brought entire communities to share and experience one thing they love, and that this is truly honorable for the individuals playing the game.
This seems like a slight cheat since what Ender is winning is a competition to the death. By putting this into terms of winning, Anderson seems to hide the dangerous aspect of competition here – that competition is about
If the score still remains tied, than both teams have to do a penalty shoot out. In my personal view I think this is not a good method to see whose better than the other, penalty shoot outs are mainly about luck, it is a fifty-fifty, just like how you would flip a coin. Meanwhile while resolution speakers believe that when a team when after they have worked hard and to their best, that’s a fair win for them. Fraleigh sees ties with no value because it does not show which contestant exceled to their best. Therefore, it contradicts the whole purpose of the game.
