365 days a year you practice for the one moment of victory or defeat. I was 16 years old when this moment happened for me. The National High School Rodeo Finals where held in Gillette, Wyoming from July 16th, 2017 to July 22nd, 2017. At the rodeo over 1,500 competitors from Australia, Canada, and the United States competed in the week long rodeo. In each of the 13 events one person is crowned a World Champion. In addition, one cowgirl and one cowboy is the All-Around World Champion. This year, I competed in the event of breakaway roping on my sorrel roping horse Jaylo. The warm Wyoming night started with Patricia and I warming up our horses. Patricia is my age and has a bubbly personality, making her fun to be around. As we were riding around, we talked about everything and anything in order to stay calm and not become nervous. Once the grand entry started however, I went to the roping arena and Patricia went to the goat tying arena. The announcer said the Cowboy Prayer which was followed by the Australia, Canadian, and the United States National anthem. After that, I tied my string on and it was time to rodeo. As I was waiting in line to rope I met these awesome people. Taylor Marshall was a girl I met from Montana and I also talked to Lauren Conkwright from Kentucky. I was the first up out of the three and we all wished each other luck. …show more content…
This was my cue to go to the holding chutes because I was up soon. Back there I saw my other friends from Pennsylvania waiting to help push my calf. My dad kept trying to keep me clam, I said I wasn’t nervous but he didn’t believe
Training a barrel horse can be lessons because the fastest racers want to be a champion. Training a barrel horse is a timed event where some of the fastest time is what matters the most. (‘Rodeo.about.com”). Speed is what it is all in the training.The riders enters the arena at full speed,quickly rounding each barrel in a clover leaf pattern and then exiting where they entered.

Bullfighting has been a tradition passed along for many years. It is a sport of baiting and killing bulls spectated by the public in an outdoor arena. But how exactly did Bullfighting begin? Bullfighting originated when the first bullfight was held in honor of King Alfonso VIII's coronation in 1133. It was called a corrida back then. These events eventually became popular for celebrating important events and to test the zeal of noblemen. The bullfight first seen at the coronation in 1133 was popularized in 1726 when Francisco Romero started using a cape and weapons during the event. Some older paintings imply that some type of bullfighting existed before 1133. A wall painting in Crete that dates to 2000 B.C. shows men and women grabbing a bull
We all know or have heard of the racing sport NASCAR. Cars race around a track in close quarters for 500 miles, at an average speed of 200 miles per hours, for an average race length of three and a half hours with pit stops and caution laps. Most NASCAR fans consider the drivers athletes for enduring such high intensity races, but what most people don’t understand is that there are other athletes on the track that do not get recognized as athletes. What I am talking about are the NASCAR Pit Crew’s; they are athletes just like the diver and they train as hard as diver, but Pit Crew Challenges get looked over as a sport. Let’s face it, most people watch NASCAR races to see amazing crashes, but they also watch to see how fast the pit crew teams

I took a deep breath as I walked my horse into the Greeley Stampede Arena. I told myself just to "relax." I loped a circle around the arena to make sure that my horse was warmed up and ready to go. He was ready but I was starting to get nervous. I stopped in front of the roping box to put my piggin' string in my mouth. I looked at my calf in the chute to make sure that it was number 33, which was one of the best calves out of the whole set. It was, and I was ready to ride into the box and rope my calf, or attempt to rope my calf. I began to get more nervous, more nervous than I ever had been at a rodeo.
During, the whole rodeo season I looked forward to going to the State Finals. I didn't attend the finals as a participant, but as a spectator. As President of the "Saddle Bronc Fan Club" for my friend Cole, there was no way I would miss this experience. We both had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS Sports Authority was a sporting goods franchise with over 500 locations nationwide. Sports authority is based out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida and the initial purpose of the "The Sports Authority" was to bring the same idea from what megastores such as Toys R Us and Home Depot were doing and bring it to the sporting goods industry. Jack Smith was unsuccessful in his first attempt, but soon after in 1990 he got a second chance and was running eight megastores in the greater Florida area. Smith's confidence and immediate success landed him a buyer from the Kmart Corporation for $75 Million in march of that same year. In the four years following The Sports Authority grew to 100 stores nationwide.

Competitive Cheer is rapidly growing in popularity throughout the United States. Cheerleading isn’t always considered a sport, but Competitive Cheer should be. Just like athletes in any other sport, members of Competitive Cheer squads clock many hours of intense training and often endure serious injuries. As a society, we often think of cheerleaders as nothing more than pretty girls on the sidelines, but the rise of Competitive Cheer demands that we reclassify cheerleading as a sport.
