Friendship and Varsity Lacrosse Team

Making The Varsity Lacrosse Team Since sixth grade I have been working hard, putting forth the extra effort, staying as healthy as I can, and practicing as much as I can, just to make the varsity lacrosse team. To my surprise, just two days after try-outs, I had made it. Making that varisty lacrosse team is one of the greatest accomplishments of my life so far. About a month before try-outs I had to get my act together and start working out. So everyday after school I would go with my friend Trevor to the gym so I could run and get in shape. This was crucial because I hadn’t run much since last summer. After working hard at the gym, another aspect of my game had to be brought up to the next level, shooting. So instead of my daily routine of going to the gym after school, I would go home and shoot on my lacrosse goal. Everyday after school I would at least shoot a little bit in hopes of making varsity in March. After two hard days of mostly running at try-outs, I received a phone call from our new varsity lacrosse coach, Coach Simms. He called to congratulate me on making the varsity lacrosse team. This was truly one of the most memorable moments of my life. He told me that I was going to be the only freshman on varsity but that all that players were going to be just fine with that. Turns out a few of my good friends came from the team, which was nice. Making the varsity lacrosse team was a great experience that I will never forget. Try-outs this spring should be fun because we are going to be a great team this year. Putting in a lot of hard work and getting rewarded for that work is one of the most humbling feelings a person can have. Making the team taught me that with enough perseverance and hard work I can reach ant goal I set for myself.

    My 2012-13 lacrosse started off with a 10-3 lose to Central Square and then more losses down the road to teams from all over. It was a rough season for all of us on the team and for the coaches.

    The most memorable thing that happened to me was when I first discovered what I’m really good at. I came across inspiring Youtube videos of old classic Roller Derby and recent ones that were published only a year ago, I knew from the moment I laid eyes on those quads that I had to try it. In less than two weeks I was a complete natural at skating, I was all about skates. I practiced all the derby stances, exercises, techniques you name it I am absolutely in love with this sport. but as much as I fantasized about doing it I never thought that I’d actually get the chance to be part of their world and have training by the Derby Dames Juniors Freshmeat Association crew, which are ranked the top thirty-one in the united states!…

    It was an unusually hot April at the end of my seventh grade lacrosse career. I didn’t know it at the start of the game, but by the second quarter all of my hard work and hours of practice would pay off when I scored my first goal. I was wearing my freshly cleaned #3 blue and gold Brentwood Bruins jersey and had rubbed the black paint on my cheeks. I love how dirty the jersey gets by the end of the game, covered in mud and grass stains; it’s almost like the dirt on your shirt shows how hard you worked.…

    Growing up, I was never naturally athletic and very injury prone. Regardless of these issues, I always remained determined and strived to accomplish my goals. As I enter high school one of my main goals was to make the varsity tennis team. During my freshmen year I practiced every day for the first 3 months of school hoping that I could just make the team. Unfortunately I tore a ligament in my wrist for the second time which prevented me from practicing till right before the tennis season started. I ended barely making the JV team which was very disappointing, but it only motivated me for next year. In my heart I knew that I if I was determined enough I could play varsity next year on my own merit. As I progressed through the sophomore year,…

The tryouts consisted of running, dribbling, shooting and mostly rebounding and layups, we also did a lot of passing drills too. Tryouts lasted for two weeks and we finally found out who made the team. I was one of them!…

    Since my roommate is also on my team it was a huge relief to meet someone before our parents even left. Since then it's been smooth sailing and have made number of friends on the team, many which I already know ill be very good friends with in the future. This was probably the biggest relief for me so far because I had no idea what to expect. I kept worrying about how the kids, especially the new recruits, would be and literally every one is an awesome person. I didn't realize how much being on a sports team would help me make friends this fast, which I am extremely grateful for. We've all had so much fun already and we are just one week into school. On top of all of that, we are all at least 20 years old and up as freshman. I think this gives us a big advantage of transition for things like college because we are all at least two years more mature then we would have if we had gone right from high school. Now that is not to toot my or any of my friends horns, but I do feel as if the maturity level is definitely higher then it would have been by the overall way we carry and present ourselves as opposed to being 17 or 18. If the year is going to continue on like this, I can only imagine how much fun it's going to be. This is also all going without mentioning the hockey part. Hockey hasn't even started yet which excites me that much more.…

The summer that led up to tryouts consisted of throwing off that Louisville Slugger net to work on my fielding. I had made the improvements that I felt were necessary and put in the hard work that now has defined me as a player and as a student.…

    A long term goal of mine was to be an Ohio High School Boys Volleyball Association State Champion. This goal came from my dad and cousins because they were all volleyball players. I wanted to follow in their footsteps of success.To achieve this goal I knew that I needed to participate in a select volleyball team. I knew this would increase my overall skill level and it would prepare me for the more intense high school volleyball I would face later on. Select volleyball wasn't easy. Different obstacles always seemed to come up. It would range from being placed on a lower quality team or having coaches that didn't have my best interest in mind. The most difficult thing for me to face was always injuries. During my sophomore year I suffered an…

    As a freshman, with previous experience playing volleyball in middle school and at the beach, this essence of competition was very attractive to me and so I tried out and made the junior varsity team. Last year, during my club season, after sitting on the bench for the first part of the year, my coach recognized my improvement and hard work and gave me the starting role for the second half of the season. The little voice in my head telling me "you'll never make it!" or "you're not good enough!" inspired (and continues to inspire) me to persistently improve every aspect of my playing during practice and such an attention to detail, combined with my inner motivation to improve, lead to my…
