High School Hockey Observation
For many, high school is the last place where they will play a sport at a competitive level alongside their peers. Many may refer to this as their "glory days" as they don't intent to play in college and look for other ways to spend their time. Since I'm attending a school where there are no sports teams on my campus, I realized there were a few areas of high school sports that I miss. These are a few of those things.

1. Teammates

During my four years playing hockey we always had a close team that was focused on improving after each practice and game. We spent the preseason having dryland conditioning and in the off-season playing spring hockey. We played together as much as possible in preparation for the upcoming season in hopes of a state

    Athletics is ingrained in the human experience and is an integral part of American culture. Because of that, many of my weekends and after school hours have been dedicated to either watching a game or starting one with the kids in the neighborhood. Athletics runs deep in my family. My great uncle was a professional baseball player and my family, including my father, three brothers and a sister, are all very involved with the various team sports. It’s this immersion into various sporting activities that has led me to the understanding that engaging in athletics has a very positive impact in our lives. Additionally, sports are extremely important in building one’s character through hard work, learning to work with others on a team and by learning how to cope with the joy of winning and the inevitability of losing.…

    Richard L. Worsnop offers multiple different points about high school sports and athletes. Concerns about the oppression of young athletes and debating if high school athletics “builds character”, are some of the main issues pointed out. Some coaches believe interscholastic sports competitions teach everything about character and teamwork, while others believe overemphasizing a win can teach the growth of negative character traits. Meanwhile, there are no doubts that certain drugs can enhance an athlete’s performance, but this can lead to injury and other harmful effects. High school athletes are sometimes considered, “dumb jocks”, which leads to the question if student athletes should maintain a certain grade-point average. Some players think…

    As early as the third grade, I remember being involved in sports. Whether it was volleyball, basketball, or dance I have been given the privilege to play on many teams. The life of a young athlete is great, however, it can become very stressful. At all ages an athlete is forced to cope with school, sports, and a social life. Along with all of that, athletes are expected to deal with extra stress and even stricter rules. Over the years I have realized all student-athletes are treated differently and are held to a higher standard. (1)…

    Children tend to go out for sports to make friends, improve relationships, become better at the sport, and to stay in shape. No matter what the reason is when you join the sport, you will find out that you gained numerous friends over the course of the season. As every sports season comes around the corner, you can visualize how close people on the same teams grow. At our high school, people eat with their teams, lift with their teams, practice with their teams, and play with their teams. The environment is set up to create friendships. Being a senior in high school, I have had the opportunity to participate in multiple team sports. Throughout my high school experience, I have noticed is that the teams who grow the closest, have the greatest success. One piece of evidence is our soccer team. When I came into high school, we had the opportunity to meet new coaches. Coach Garza and Coach Javi, the soccer coaches, are no doubt, the best coaches I have ever had the chance to be taught by. They both possess the rare trait of being able to bond kids together. The soccer team I am on has the strongest bond I have ever seen. Since I joined the team as a freshman, we have made two consecutive state trips, which were the first and second in school history. We also achieved the runner-up status in the championship game. If there were one trait I could relate our success to, it would be the bond we share as a…

    Hockey in the United States is more of a North Eastern sport, due to the cold weathers and icy ponds, but hockey fans exist everywhere. A big trend in the hockey community is how fans are born. For me, I followed in my fathers and older brothers footsteps and became a hockey player. It just runs in your family. I guess being a hockey fan is sort of a legacy. I know the typical idea of a hockey fan is a guy representing his favorite jersey, holding a beer, and screaming at the top of his lungs. But, no one truly knows a hockey fan unless you are one yourself. We all share the same goals and passions. It all comes down to the love of the game, and even if two teams are complete rivals, they all share that passion.…
