Recommended: Important of motivation in sports

I would classify myself as part of a community that shares a strong passion for sports. When one says that they are passionate for sports they are mostly saying that they are always watching sports, or know everything that is happening in certain sports. Being only interested in one sport does not make one less passionate about sports than a person that has an interest in many sports. On the contrary, when one is interested in just one sport they can devote more of their time to following that sport. I see myself as a person that is mostly passionate for one sport, but has a certain level of interest for other sports. Throughout my life I have always played sports, even when it was not at club level I participated at sports camps and sports

    Neither my parents nor I had that desire for myself; therefore not one sport was more central than the other. Academic success stood as the most valuable compared to athletic success. That environment placed less pressure for me to train with greater intensity and focus when it came to competitive sports. Sports were extra-curricular activities as opposed to a full-time job and the pathway to the subsequent level. I absolutely benefitted from playing multiple sports throughout my youth. I have participated in soccer, basketball, football, track & field, wrestling, and even taekwondo. Competing in all these sports developed me into a better athlete and enhanced my fundamental movement skills that are necessary for all sports. In addition, it gave me multiple perspectives that I might not have had otherwise. This improved my ability to be a teammate and instilled in me a more competitive nature. Although different sports brought different demands, the growth of confidence remained the same. I never suffered from burnout during my youth, nor did I detest my experience. Ultimately, participating in multiple sports gave me time to decide where my passion lied and what I preferred to play. As a result, my participation in high school sports was limited to only football and

    Growing up, I have always had a passion for baseball. To me, it is much more than just a sport. There have been times when it has acted as an escape from many problems in my life, as I feel that when I am on the diamond, nothing can hurt me. I am aware that many people feel this way about the sport they love, but sadly their careers often come to an abrupt end due to injury. I have a personal connection to this experience. The summer before my fourth grade year I was attending a basketball camp at Davidson College, when in the final seconds of a scrimmage game, my ankle was kicked out from under me. I immediately fell to the ground in pain as my ankle rolled over on itself. Coaches aided me in limping off of the court and to the training room

    Sports play a very important role in my life ever since I could walk. My interests in playing sports began at the age of three as my parents signed me up for soccer, flag football, basketball, and lacrosse. First grade started my competitive edge as I began to play for travel teams in various sport tournaments. This competitive edge transferred from the sports field to the classroom having teachers and coaches helping me be the best I can be. Sports have continually well-shaped and defined my character by teaching me how to accept a win from working hard, also how a loss is an opportunity to learn and fix mistakes.

When event I remember her taking part in was a mud run that raised awareness for sickle cell. There were people who were apart of the vent management staff, and then there was people who were recruited as volunteers based off of profile status such as: professional athletes, governments officials, or celebrities. Often times the turnout of the event depended on who the particular person was that was volunteering for that specific event, and the entertainment that was provided during the event. For example, in the particular mud run it attracted people who wanted to compete in a 5k race, and those people who were just interested in supporting a cause.

    Rolling green hills swarming with white-thighed, polo-shirted adolescents. A crazed anime fanatic in need of therapy. A year and a half of tedium and resentment. In a meeting with my counselor before my freshman year, I was told that colleges wanted me to be smart and well rounded, and so I tried to be. Being smart was mostly nature, but my athleticism desperately needed nurturing. I joined the sport I thought would be the least torturous. I thought if I was truly terrible, my performance wouldn’t affect the team like in other sports. I reached varsity as a freshman. There were only three girls on the whole team. I tried to be the renaissance girl, the athletic academic. I was still the worst— even the least demanding sport around wasn’t for me. In three seasons, I never shot below 140; I was thankful for the handicap that allowed us to stop hitting once we reached 10 on a hole, and I used it often.
