An achievement that I have done in my life is win the 1st place in the Center Circle tournament. When it happened was in 2013 in December. There were ten teams in total and my team was one of them. We were playing to see which team would get the most points. We had to face nine other teams. The rules of center circle were that you could only wear indoor soccer shoes and not slide. The other rule was that you could not have a person the team that was more than 16 years old. So my team started off with a ruff start we lost the first game six to four. Then the next game was on Saturday and we played at six pm we were vs a team called Iron Bound they said that they were a good team. There was no doubt about it but that didn't stop my team we won at the end five to three. Then after that game we got pumped up and we were in the moment. We were pumped up for the next game and we were on a winning streak. Then we had to vs one particular team named the Bumble Bees. We had to beat them to get to the finals. …show more content…
We knew if we wanted to go to the finals we had to give it our all. There was five more min in the clock it was the corner kick and my friend David was going up for the header and then he hits the ball and goes straight into the net. all you heard was "GGGOOOAAAALLL." We had made it into the finals we won that game five to four. My team was so happy we won the spot to go to the
The game was one sided with us scoring early on then again in the second half. The final score was 2-0. I was ecstatic, I couldn’t believe that we had won the tournament. At the presentation of the trophy, all I could hear was the parents shouting and screaming, I was so proud to be part of the team.
We were playing against the McAllen High School. I was a starter post on the team we were losing by 10 the first half of the game. We had 5 minutes of halftime the team and I were so upset that we were losing so we decided to pray to gain our confidence back. Once halftime was over starting five went back in we started well with defense once again, we stole some passes, but didn’t make all baskets to catch up to. Until last quarter I made 12 points and I was so happy to make 12 points for the to catch up against our opponent. Our team was still a few behind at the end of the game we didn’t win but I was proud of myself for making those 12 points for the team even if we did not win. My teammates and coaches were so proud of all of us not just me but of each one us for working together not to lose by a lot and not making ourselves look like fools. It was the first since tournaments that I realized that we had a great team that would support each other during a game. Success comes from people who believe in you and support you through things you go through. Success is nor found nor is it a miracle, success is created by you own self from being prepared of how to succeed in life and how you are going to get there because you cannot find success you have to make success find you in. Success is not miracle to be success is something thst
We met in the locker room and got ready for our first game. We were playing a team that we had never played before, but they had a 7-3 record in their area. We knew it would be
All I remember was all the girls on my team screaming and running towards me. Luckily, I was at the right place at the right time and headed the ball into the net. I scored the winning goal and it felt amazing. We won the championship!
One occurrence was during a high school playoff game during my freshman year. My team was favored to win the championship but we had some difficulty. We were in a tied game against a team many expected us to beat and our opponent scored with fifty seconds left to pull ahead of us. Our coach called a timeout and rallied us together. Instead of yelling at us he told us “see you in overtime.” The next shift my line goes out and scores with fifteen seconds left to tie the game. Time expired and we head to overtime. After about five minutes of overtime Ipass to my winger and he scored off the pass to win the game. It was one of the most satisfying wins I have been apart of as we weren’t playing our best and how close we came to losing. That win fueled us the rest of the playoffs and we ended up winning the championship with that momentum.
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.
The sound of my alarm buzzed while I struggled to get out of bed. I wiped my eyes and got out of bed. My mind was packed with thoughts and emotions. That day was a very special day for me. I had prepared for that day for months if not years. Just thinking about it, made me nervous. It was tryout day for the high school golf team. Even though I was on varsity since freshman year, I was still nervous because there was always the possibility that you can get booted if your performance is sub-par. After staring at the wall for a solid minute, I shook myself out of the trance I was in and continued with my routine. Minutes passed, and I was ready to go to school. I loaded my car up with my clubs and started for school. I had a hard time keeping
One of my biggest achievements was to be accepted to the Sampson Early College High School. This was an important accomplishment not only for me but also for my family. Getting accept to the early college gave me another chance to start a new beginning in my life and to become a better person among my peers. There were other achievements that were also important to me such as competing at the National Beta Club Convention at state and national where I received three awards. This huge accomplishment has given me the opportunity to express my ideas and talents to other schools across state and country and to proudly represent my school.
We all thought that if we could do it once, we could do it twice which really gave me the confidence to play hard. After the third quarter ended, we lost our energy thinking we would lose because all our shots weren't falling which led to a big difference. When the fourth quarter started, coach brought up a really good point which we missed during the first three quarters which was to press! We then all remembered our saying which was If you could do it once we could do it twice so we used our press and somehow got back in the game! We maintained our lead all the way to the end. We all cheered loudly and high fived the other team which mostly all of them were crying sobbing with tears. Coming into the second game we were excited and hopeful on our quarter-final performance. Now it's the semi-finals. We played against Cupertino Middle School which only lost one game out of seven games the entire season middle school basketball. This time we remembered to use our press which worked again pretty well. They had many turnovers with the ball but they still managed to win us. It was a tough lost to a team in the semi-finals but it was worth a try and we still fought as a team which is the most important part in playing
Once again, the next year, I was on the All-Star team. This time we were all determined to stay in the tournament and win the championship. We started off lousy, though, making four errors in the first game and losing 4-0. We now had to win every game and beat the last team twice. We did defeat every team we went up against, including the team that beat us the first game, and once again ended up in the championship game.
Our first game was against Mason City. It was going great for us because we had a 14 point lead going into the 4th quarter. But things had gotten a little shaky when they brought it under five points. Even more when they had taken the lead. They were winning by one and we had to get the ball back fast. I fouled this really tall guy and we had almost gotten into a fight. But Blake, had gotten in between us so we couldn't. They were throwing the ball in again when Blake had stolen the ball and he was running down the court with 8.5 seconds left. He shot the left handed lay-up and he
Golf is my passion and it has shaped my mentality and my approaches on not only the sport, but also life. Very commonly, in any sport, it is easy to be hard on yourself and get easily disappointed in bad performance. I have learned that In golf, swallowing- focusing on, mistakes or difficulties creates more of a mess for yourself because it clouds your judgement and focus for all the following shots. I have developed the mental stamina to be able to be unaffected by mistakes.
The time on the clock was 4:30 when the doorbell rang, fifteen minutes early. My three teamates were extremely anxious to get to the Center. I opened the front door and to my surprise the whole team was outside in their cars. They were all spiffed up in their shirts and ties, determined to win the game. As I threw my equipment in my friends car I was hoping that the next time I put it in there I would have a championship medal hanging around my neck.
The day was June 29, 2016 when I played in my first golf tournament at the age of 16. Even though I had only been practicing and playing the sport for less than a month, I felt confident in my knowledge of the game going into the tournament. However, I was actually very naive. After one of the girls in my group asked me to “tend the flag,” my confidence went down the drain and I realized that I lacked the understanding of everyday language among golfers. From that point on in the tournament, I tried my best to hide my inexperience and fit in with the other girls, who were much more experienced than I was.
It was one of the heardest games i have ever played in my life.By half time the score was tied up 24 to 24. We had a real good chance of winning that game. After half Battle came back and turned on the heat. They ended up beating us by 12 points. In a district 's final game that is not a very big win. We were all so depressed after that game, but there was something that i still had, That was my brothers.
