The panyee football ball is about a group of boys that have always looked up to players that play football. When the boys were younger, one of them had an idea to play. The boys lived in a floating village which caused them a hard time to form a team. One reason why the panyee football club showed determination was because they did let their villagers stop them from wanting to become champions. …show more content…
When all the boys decided that they wanted to create and make their own football team. When the boys wanted to start practicing to be champions they realized they needed a space to practice. The boys said, “ We figured we had to create our own space” This shows that when the boys didn't have enough room they didn't give up. instead they found a solution to build their own pitch. The boys were so hardworking, so they started to, “ collect old wood and tie fishing nets together to make goals. The boys were determined to have a team so they used old items instead of just letting go of what they wanted to accomplish. Finally, when the boys finished building the pitch they said, “ It was shaky, uneven, and had nails sticking out everywhere.” The boys tried very hard to build it and even though it wasn't perfect they still liked it the way it was. Their pitch had to be built on floating wood which caused it harder for the boys to practice. They said, “ The ball often went into the water… and so did we.” The Boys show how they did have a hard time practicing, but it was also in advantage because they got better footwork and learned how to keep the ball in a small surface. I think that the panyee boys were determined because they didn't let their surroundings let them quite. The boys formed a team and stuck to the plan that they had from the beginning The panyee boys showed lots of
Students should read this book in a high school English classroom because it demonstrates how relationships can be difficult, but teamwork can help to solve many issues. Hutch realized that it would not help his team to continue fighting with Darryl and by being mad at his father. He was able to take those difficult relationships and form them into positive outcomes and achieve his goal. After winning the championship game, “Hutch made his way through his teammates, and up through the stands and did something he had not done in a very long time: Hutch hugged his father. And his father hugged him back” (Lupica 243). This proves to students that if they continue to work hard and focus on a goal, they can achieve it by being a team player on and off the field.
In the 2015 AFC Championship Game between the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts, the Patriots were accused of tampering with their footballs. They allegedly deflated the footballs to 2 PSI below the legal limit, supposedly giving them an unconstituted and illegal advantage. On May 11th, 2015, the National Football League ruled that the Patriots organization was guilty, penalizing them with a 1 million dollar fine, the loss of a first round pick in the 2016 NFL draft, and the loss of a fourth round pick in the 2017 draft. Tom Brady, the quarterback, was personally penalized with a four-game suspension for his involvement in the incident. He claims, however, to be innocent and has been exhausting every possible legal avenue to avoid his punishment.

An example of this is in the essay Confessions of a doper by Jonathan Vaughters. When playing sports you have to have the “resolve” to do it as said in the essay.(8) Physical strength is not only physical ability but also, self centeredness. For those who do not have much physical prowess in sports, the mind evens the playing field. The mind opens up opportunities where we once believed there were none. With critical thinking we can overwhelm even the most worthy opponents. There are some methods of self defense that do not matter if you are the smallest in your class or age group. Tickery, mind games and quick thinking let you outsmart most
Determination is “The act or an instance of making an important decision and not giving up” (“Determination”). In The Great Gatsby, the main character Jay Gatsby is a succesful business man who will go to extremes to win the heart of the woman of his dreams, Daisy, hoping she would leave her husband for him. Gatsby threw extravagant parties with an abundance of alcohol and a variety of people. People would drive hundreds of miles to attend one of Jay Gatsby’s parties. He would never participate in any of his parties, however, so no one knew him. One may ask: Why would he spend so much money on parties he did not even participate in? The answer is that he would stand on the balcony looking over his unknown party guests hoping Daisy would show up one evening. Gatsby was very determined to get the attention of Daisy, and he believed by throwing these parties he would do so. He was so anxious to see her; he had his neighbor Nick invite her over one afternoon. He had been very nervous and wanted eve...

However, this gave them the opportunity to get perspective on what really does and doesn’t

In order to get better at a skill, whether it’s in life or in athletics, the person needs to have drive and purpose. The text explains a person that possesses determination by saying, “A person who is determined has a firmness of purpose and the resolve to achieve a goal. It is a fixed intention or resolution to overcome obstacles” (Kurtus 1). In order for Biles to be able to compete in the Olympics, she needed to work twice as hard as anyone else. Being a girl, it wasn’t going to be easy. Giving up was not an option.

And that achievement can make you feel like a champion”, (Kurtus 2), the text

Determination is a positive emotional feeling that involves persevering towards a difficult goal in spite of obstacles. Determination occurs prior to goal attainment and serves to motivate behavior that will help achieve one’s goal. Empirical research suggests that people consider determination to be an emotion; in other words, determination is not just a cognitive state, but rather an affective state. In the psychology literature, researchers have studied determination under other terms, including challenge and anticipatory enthusiasm; this may explain one reason for the relative lack of research on determination compared to other positive emotions.

It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” The under-class, basketball players learned from the mistakes in the title game, so they could go farther and win next year’s championship, because failure should never be your excuse to not attempt something.
