She won more tournaments than any other female player, and has accumulated more wins and tournament victories than every other volleyball player. She holds records for a number of consecutive games and tournaments won. Along with her record breaking achievements, Misty received the AVP MVP award in 2005, 2006, and 2007. Misty also has been awarded the AVP Best Defensive Player in 2006 and 2007, and the AVP Best Offensive Player in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. Being the fantastic volleyball player she is, Misty May has accomplished numerous achievements that are highly difficult to achieve.
A boy of approximately 11 years stated, “As long as you’re not afraid of the water, you’re cool. If you can swim real fast that makes you popular. But, no matter what, if you are caught wearing underwear [Speedo] you’re a sissy and no one likes to be around that.” As I looked around, I noticed all the boys wearing trunk-style swimming suits and realized peer pressure is still influencing the actions of pre-teens today as much as it was 10 years ago when I went through the young stage. If I was caught wearing a Speedo by my peers during adolescence, it would have been the end of my popularity too! Between the hours of 3:00 pm and 4:00 pm the YMCA experiences a surge in pool activity.
The inspiration for most of his stories come from true inspired events that happened with real kids, in real life. One of Crutcher most popular books, Whale talk, was published in 2001. Its main conflict involves a black “athlete” (T.J. jones)who is good at virtually every sport, but never turns out for the team because his morals and values involving team work are not represented, and even trashed by some members of the team, especially the cocky varsity quarter back (who just happens to play every sport the school offers). It has gotten to the point where other students and even coaches persecute him for “being blessed with talent, and throwing it in the trash, selfishly only thinking of himself.” And when the only teacher who sides with him is told he must become a active coach (this is a sports school who last year barley missed it by a few points for over all state champion) in order to help the school earn more points for the state competition, he decides to put the joke on the administration and other coaches. He convinces the administration to let him start a swim team, so instead of adding a few points on another sport, he adds and entire sport to get points for.
Lebron vs. Kobe LeBron James and Kobe Bryant are very athletic and effective on the court. There is a big debate throughout the country about who’s the better player. They talk about it in bars, in locker rooms, on the radio, and in the media, the debate is constantly raging. Do you think is the best athlete is Kobe or LeBron? LeBron is a very strong person in heart and mind and has great leadership.
At any second, one of the eighty-five recreational swimmers could submerge, and never recover to the surface. It’s up to the lifeguard to make sure that doesn’t happen. When we think of life-saving careers, we picture doctors and police officers-rarely lifeguards. Instead, we envision the Baywatch beach run with the renowned red bathing suit or perhaps a tan teenager slumped in his lifeguarding chair, polarized sunglasses cocked just enough so that his closed lids are visible. As a pool protector, Geena Carey-a friendly seventeen-year-old with a sharp mind and bright smile-can relate.
Proposition: Through the use of sports drinks, like Gatorade, athletes can enhance their athletic performance and recover faster and more thoroughly versus drinking water. Attention Getter: Gatorade commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwEomDcoG1c Athletes around the world strive to be the best they can be. Many dream of continuing their sport into the collegiate level or even to the professional level. And currently, to achieve this athletes are pushed to be the fastest, the strongest, and the smartest players on the field. This puts a lot of pressure on the athlete and results in countless hours in the gym, the consumption of multiple protein supplements, and, for some, performance enhancing drugs.
I concede with the author's claim insofar as it is an efficient way to get an understanding of a society through its heroes and heroines in a certain period of time. However, to comprehensively and thorougly understand a society, other measures, include examining the general publilc and social surroudings,should be taken. The heroes and heroines the soceity chooses is reflective to the character and mainstream values the soceity itself possesses.Consider Philips, the legend in the swimming pool, who breaks the record in a row and tops other athelets in history as an individual player who obtains the most golden medals. His spirit of challenging himself and train hard to accomplish his goals inspire everyone and is an vivid reflection of the nation who praises and encourages its citizens to challenge oneself and the history record, an reflection of the mainstream values in American society that through hardwork,
No goodness comes out of the rule, so what is the point of it? The rule cheats the player out of money that could benefit their lives immediately. Some extremely talented players are less fortunate and they use basketball as an outlet in life. They are depending on basketball to be their life because they might not have what it
Competitive sports: the most universal activity throughout the world, and possibly the universe. All sports have their loyal fans, who stick with them through the good seasons and the bad, the trophy-raising dominating seasons and the worst in the division seasons. However, obviously not every team can win their leagues championship every year, and mostly many teams go years upon years without winning some hardware. Years ago, teams with the best records that won championships typically generated the most income and revenue and would draft and buy the best players, therefore creating dynasties and would give other teams no chance of winning. In the recent years professional sports leagues have fixed this problem by creating what is known as
