...confident. My teammate inbounds the ball to me as I yell for the shot. Planting my feet just between the three-point line and free-throw line I get the orange, spherical ball into my hands. Gazing at the clock for a second, time was running out. My fingertips place themselves on the grooves of the ball for the perfect shot. The only objects I see are two lengthy defenders rushing at me to block my shot. I quickly jump reaching as high as I could with the ball I raise my hands releasing it before the defenders could block it with two seconds left on the clock. The ball spinning in the air, amazingly hits it’s target swishing into the hoop, winning the game for my team. It was my second year trying out for the basketball team at Tesoro High School. The gym had not changed, it had clean floors, the basketball hoops for pristine, the nets on the hoops we’re shiny white, and the basketballs, were brand new that when you touched the ball it had amazing grip like having rubber gloves on. We just found out we were getting a new coach for the Junior Varsity team, which I was aiming for. We honestly did not know what to expect, but the team was full of excitement and curiosity like a kid waiting to go to Six Flags for the first time the next day. All the players looked anxious to see the coach. I was scared. Filled with doubt, I assumed I would do the worst and miss every shot or lay up during practice. In Rodriguez’s essay, Aria, he said “That day, I moved very far from the disadvantaged child...

...Covered courts serve the community a standard of care where people of all ages and skill levels can enjoy a variety of activities and amenities aimed at enhancing learning and enjoyment. In school, lack of facility like this causes few physical activities that contribute to an increased rate of obesity, lowered levels of wellbeing and reduced general enjoyment of the experience at school. In West Vancouver, Canada, Michelle LaBounty, head of Ecole Cedardale School, proposed a paved and partially fenced covered sports court to accommodate basketball, ball hockey, futsol, 4 square and hopscotch in January 2015. The school has no facility of this kind either on the Cedardale playground or within the immediate proximity of the school. Play choices are relatively limited and intermediate students regularly request opportunities to exercise their recess periods in the gymnasium. This poses complications with regards to adequate supervision and limits the frequency and number of students/grades that can participate cooperatively. Cedardale has seen a growth in population in the past few years, not only because it is now a full K-7 school, but due to increased community interest, loyalty to the French Immersion, and less attrition throughout all grade levels. Providing authentic and age-appropriate equipment for students to access will increase their skills and general physical activity levels. Providing more options for play will also reduce the number of negative student interactions...

...The Best and Worst in Diversifying Sports Abstract Professional sports leagues promote diversity among their players in varied ways and with varied results. Based on The Institution for Diversity and Ethics' 2012 Report for the Race and Gender Report Card, Major League Soccer is the best league to accomplish both. For one, they have the most diverse set of players, both in terms of race and nationality. Another reason is that the rates for both continuously increase. On the other hand, Major League Baseball is the worst when it comes to ensuring diversity among its players, with percentages of minorities in the league barely increasing and more notably decreasing. Both leagues, however, have diversity programs particularly for youth. These include scholarship programs, outreach programs, and training and recruitment programs. Despite these, the contrast in results cannot be overlooked. It is recommended that Major League Baseball expand their recruitment efforts to include partnership with universities and colleges for potential players. Promoting diversity in sports involves clearing the way for players of diverse backgrounds to participate in professional sports leagues. Right now, the major leagues have been exerting effort to do just that - implementing programs that ensure that the leagues are open to qualified players regardless of their cultural background. But the task is not as easy as it seems, and the results of their efforts vary. Based on studies...

...outside school but still academic related. Extra-curricular activities on the other hand, are activities that are not academic related, for example basketball and volleyball teams, cheer force and other more. Based on thefreedictionary.com, co-curricular activities are complementing but are not part of the regular curriculum while extra-curricular activities are educational activities that are not falling within the scope of the regular curriculum. There was a research article in Korea made by Wi-Young So (2012). His article was about the association between physical activity and academic performance of Korean adolescent students. Surveys were given to the students to observe if physical activities are correlated with the student’s academic performance. He found out that vigorous physical activity is positively correlated with the academic performance in the case of boys. However, strengthening exercises were not positively correlated with the academic performance of both boys and girls. He also discovered that adequate physical activity can provide health benefits and it can be very helpful in weight control and reducing the risk of having chronic diseases. According to Davis and Pollock (2012), time devoted to physical activity at school does not harm the academic performance of a student and it may actually improve it. Achieving this level of activity in physical education programs is possible but it would require...

...Currently, I am preparing for my A level assessments in Maths, Business, and English Literature. In literature, I have learned how to analyse a variety of works, including drama, prose, and poetry. One of these works is Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Part of my studies involves learning how to understand and explain the techniques which Shakespeare uses in the play such as meta-awareness and the tragic flaw. In extra-curricular activities, I have participated in many sports competitions, most of which are football. I have played football for five years and have experienced a great deal of immense pressure on the field. I have lost many competitions; however, I have never thought once about accepting my defeat but instead keep on working and learning from my mistakes. That is part of what I have learned for five years in the sport. Moreover, football has helped me to practice my social and communication skills because I used to be shy and an introverted guy back when I was in eighth grade and am still slightly that way now. At the moment, I have switched to play basketball because I want to challenge myself if I can play against tall and strong player ( My height is only 165 cm...

...7, 2013 The basis of a healthy life starts with a physical activity during childhood. Healthy Kids (2013) states that there are a myriad of benefits from being active during childhood such as maintaining normal weight, improving cardiovascular fitness, improving confidence and self-esteem, and building strong bones and muscle. Healthy People 2020 physical activity topic goal (2013) is to improve health, fitness, and quality of life through daily physical activity. HP2020 objective 8.2.2 is to increase the physical activity proportion of children and adolescents aged six to fourteen years who view television, videos, or play video games for a maximum amount of two hours per day. Currently the baseline is 78.9% and by 2020 the projected target should be 86.8%. Physical activity has declined tremendously in communities around America due to the lack of funding, access to available play areas, and cultural disparities. Environmental factors related to physical activity A child’s environment plays a significant role in his or her daily activity. According to Farley, Huhman, Trost, the limited amount of clean play grounds and the involvement in community physical activity organization has led to an increase in sedentary lifestyle. Since play and being active are integral parts of a child’s development there should be an increased advocacy for recreation centers, school based extracurricular activities, community based sports programs and the active fine arts. Urban area play...

The team is a member of the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Our organization was established in 2004, two years after the previous NBA franchise, the Charlotte Hornets, relocated to New Orleans. The Charlotte area and the Carolinas in general have long been associated with the thrill and excitement of basketball. During the days of the American Basketball Association (ABA), the Carolina Cougars were a region team who enjoyed enthusiastic support. From their inception in 1988 until the relocation in 2002, the Charlotte Hornets were one of the most exciting and well supported teams in the NBA, leading the league in attendance for 7 years during which time the team strung together an eye popping 364 consecutive home sellouts! While the Bobcats have not found that level of success as yet, the 2014 NBA season will be our biggest season ever as we will finally launch the long awaited re-branding of the Charlotte Bobcats franchise to the Charlotte Hornets.
