When their team or teams are playing their mentality is they better win this game and if they lose its then end of the world and puts a lot of the people in bad moods. This happens on the daily basis. Sports fans thrive for the excitement of the games. The excitement of the games and the atmosphere of the stadium bring them in to a whole different world. The fans that take it the most seriously are definitely soccer, baseball, hockey and football fans the most. The die-hard fans care about every game that is played by their team. Most of the time they will take the hard fought loss as if they are part of the team. People are crazy about sports, they’re die-hard fanatics, which sometimes care more about sports then their actual life. The biggest sports fans would have to be football; they go all out for their team. People plan their day around the game by getting to the field to barbeque and tailgate before the game. Most of the time it will be two to three hours before the game. Even some times people will just get to the stadium to tailgate and be in the atmosphere of everyone else and not go into the game because they don’t have tickets. Football fans are crazy they will throw parties in the parking lot before and after the games. They also have fans that paint their bodies and stand out in the freezing cold when normal people would be bulled up in cloths. Football Fans are crazy but that is just the...

...The whistle blew, and my team and I jogged off the field, feeling awful. Through the struggle of losing the championship, I realized that I identified two advanced life skills to overcome the adversity: values and insight. The causes of going through the adversity of losing the championship soccer game, were the team that we played was pretty good, and had some exceptional players. The skills they used were sophisticated, although my team still knew how to use those skills. The other cause for going through the adversity, was that my team was tired from the first game that we had played earlier that same day. We were all slower in this game than we were in the first game. The effects of the adversity were that some of us cried after the...

...Friday May 9, 2014. The Minnesota Wild versus the Chicago Blackhawks in playoffs. My brother and I were headed down to the Excl Energy Center, better known as The X, to watch game 3 of the series. The Wild were down two to one in the series, but were coming off a great win three days before. We walked into the enormous facility, and just like every other time, we stood there and took it all in. There were different paintings on the walls of retired hockey players, present players, and other miscellaneous pieces of art relating to hockey. We walked around smelling all the different foods they had to offer, but eventually we found our way to our seats. They were excellent seats in the second deck of the arena. We looked at each other and said,...

...crate, Rizzo was sleeping, but when he heard the chatter of Will’s family, he started to bark. It wasn’t like a mean bark, it was more of a scared, somewhat defenseful bark. Rizzo is afraid of sound, just like Will is. Once they got home Will’s dad told him, “Go fill up the dogs water dish, and give him some food.” However, he disobeyed his father’s order and ran upstairs to his room to go attempt to repair that models that he destroyed. Will didn’t want to go to school the next morning, but his parents made him go, he goes to Eastridge Elementary and is in the 5th grade. On the playground after lunch, he took out his toy airplanes and “flew” them around the monkey gym. He flew the toys around the big blue slide, the small rock climbing wall, and the small fireman’s pole. He made airplane noises as he played, but while he was doing this his classmates stood around him laughing. However, Will didn’t think that they were making fun of him, he thought that they were interested in what he was doing. There was a kid named Anthony, that was also in Will’s grade who was also crowding around looking at Will, but he looked displeased. Anthony was a quiet kid, but also had a lot of friends, he was well liked by everyone that knew him. Anthony yelled at his friends and peers in disgust and in pity for William, “You guys stop laughing and being mean,” he said in a loud obnoxious voice, that actually frightened Will slightly. Throughout the next 10 minutes that they had left of recess,...

... A time that I was a failure was in little league. I was about seven or eight somewhere around that age but I played for a little league team called the Freeport Hurricanes. Around that time back in that day we were the coldest team in Brazoria county we lost to no one every year. It was a sin to lose we won the superbowl every year and were undefeated. We were invisible,untouchable and had the swagger that showed it. We were just that good that every team we lined up against knew they were going to lose. But, it was this one particular year were it didn't quit go like it usually did for us. We started of the season just beating every one just obliterating them as we always did. We had started the season off 6 an 0. The team was feeling good we didn't have a care in the world we were balling doing what we usually do. Until, we got to that next game our seventh game we were playing our rival the team we hated the absolute most the most physicalist and most exciting and competitive game out of the whole year. We were facing the Lake Jackson buccaneers. This game was the biggest game out of the even bigger than the superbowl cause we knew if we won this game the superbowl was ours for sure. It was just that serious cause it was basically for the title of the best team in Brazoria county. Which we won every year but we didn't win it without a fight.

...It was an early fall day and the clouds were barely rising up with a nice breeze. I was at school later in the day when we had practice. My coach, Mr. Padilla, was really studying his paper work. He was a very kind guy and he is cool. Our coach expected 100% effort from the team. I was a little nervous because I did not know if I was going to make the team. The people that were trying out for football went outside so we can practice. Our coach had us line up in our line to do drills. We did 5 drills for 2 minutes and some of them were hard. Also we did passing drills for 8 minutes.The passing drills were extremely difficult that made us dripping with sweat. Lastly, our coach told us to do 1 more play and then to huddle up because he was going...

...The game of football is something that is very intriguing. Most people think that it’s a only a game of super star athletes and hard hitting. Little do they know there is much more to this game. Behind the scenes is where the true football players are made. Hard work, long days, and fatigue all describe what the preparation is like. However, while all of this seems so difficult the rewards that being a football player provides are priceless. One of the greatest rewards of being a football player is feeling like you are part of a “family.” After a team has gone through off season workouts, summer workouts, and eventually two-a-days they become bonded. The bond is similar to a big brother-little brother bond. Everyone is always looking out for each other and nothing can separate them. During this bonding process, many friends are made. Players discover teammates that have the same will and desire as they do for the game. Not only do they become friends on the field, but off the field as well. Another one of the great rewards of football is game days. After the long, hard week of practice is over it is time for the team to see how they match up. There is nothing better than preparing to walk onto the field in front of over 2,000 screaming and yelling fans knowing that you get the opportunity to see how you stack up against your opponent. Not only does this provide great enthusiasm, it also provides the home team with an advantage. During the game, the “trash talk” and opposing...

...in the game and is considered to be out of the game for that turn. I had some pre conceived notions about my eight friends that were playing with me. But during and after the game, I realised that majority of them, six to be precise did not behave the way I thought, they would attributed by their personality. Though, the cooperative part asked for cooperation so my friends did the same. But, six of my friends acted selfishly during the game when they had to save one person as a doctor and they saved themselves. I could not expect such behaviour prior to the game. Their behaviour in general was quite meek and helpful. Surprisingly, my best friend did not cooperate with me during the game at times when his purpose was not getting solved in the game. The remaining two behaved in synchronisation with their personality traits. I gauged them as the wisest in the group and they showed the same, when at the end of the game they turned out to be the clear winners winning 5 times each, out of the total 11 times. They showcased their prudence while deciding upon whom to save and whom to kill which could help them in winning. They moved throughout the game smartly, gaining the confidence of others when dialogues regarding who the mafia is, at the end of each turn, were organised. Nobody could pin pointthem as mafias, when they actually were. So, I found out that the behaviours were pretty different during the game from the real based scenarios, as observed by me. These assessments of personality...

... “EHHHH! and that’s the end of the 3rd quarter folks!” This seemed like a fresh start for most of my teammates because at the starting of the 4th quarter we were down 6 points which felt like we were losing by a hundred.This especially was very muggy and you barely see through the thick fog.But we managed to get through it all.I could hear the crowd roaring for us to score and win the game. From Luckily they just scored six points on the board but we stopped them from getting the extra point. So the score was 18-12 Zeeland was up by six. I felt confident and full of energy on this drive because we had the whole 4th quarter at our disposal and we had started at the 35yd line. I thought for sure we were going to score but on our first three plays we had no yards. Coach said we were not punting because he knew he had to go for it or we would lose the game. It was 4th and 10, we went on two and got 5 yards. Except that wasn’t enough for a first down. It was 4th and 5 we all got down and ready for the play to begin. “Down, red, set, GO!!” Then the ball had been snapped and I sprinted to the quarterback to hand the ball off to me. Then I had gotten the ball lightninged to the sideline so I could get the 1st down. Then there were 3 big dark blue football players waiting to tackle me but I had put down my shoulder and gotten an extra 2 yds.This was just enough for a first down.Now it was 1st and 10 on the 50 yd line. Now we had hope of winning and...

...The Amazing Game It was a chilly Saturday morning when the bus rolled to a stop in Carterville. The Wildcats were 6-2 and were led by coach Bill Schneider. Their opponents, the carterville chiefs were 7-1 on the season on were on a hot streak with 3 wins and 2 shutouts. The high school players walked off the bus and strolled into the locker room. They all knew that it was a big day but the score had to be in their favor at the end of the game to make it to the 3A division playoffs. The locker smelled of dripping sweat and athletic tape. Everyone suited up and prepared themselves for the game. After warming up, the wildcats ran some offensive plays to get ready and get focused. The offense was led by number 7 Collin Klein, and the star wide receiver Alex Moran. Flash forward to the middle of the game. The score was tied up 21 to 21 with 4:56 left in the 3rd quarter. The wildcats offense had stalled and now the defense was carrying the load. The Chiefs had been running the ball down the wildcats throats all night but now the tide was starting to change. The chiefs quarterback, Alex Smith was playing a record setting game with 423 yards passing and a completion rate of 62%. Alex was red hot but somehow the defense had to cool him down. The chiefs had the ball and their own 38 yard line, and it was first down. The ball leap into the hands of Alex and he handed the ball off to his running back with authority. The back juked and spinned but with the swiftness of a fox, but with no...

...Jason Wade December 5, 2012 Book Presentation Essay Prof. Ahearn Sport and Character Jason Wade Saint Joseph’s College of Maine Introduction With such a great emphasis on winning and being number one we often tend to forget about sportsmanship. Coaches have a huge responsibility to constantly teach the principles of sportsmanship and set a good example to their players (Clifford & Feezell, 2010). A big part of coaching deals with player relationship, not just the X and O’s. As a coach, you are a role model and moral educator. Coaches should motivate their players to be competitive while showing a mutual respect for the game. The point of the game is to win, and that is what we should be teaching our children, however when athletes become so competitive that they do whatever it takes in order to win, sportsmanship ends up getting thrown out the window. Sportsmanship We may be able to give a general definition of what sportsmanship is, but it’s difficult for coaches to teach exactly what the sportsmanlike thing to do is in every particular situation (Clifford & Feezell, 2010). Self-understanding has a big part to do with sportsmanship. Coaches must teach their athletes to come to terms with limits and understanding what you can and cannot do. The principles of sportsmanship are expressed in different ways because of different cultures and personalities. Expecting all athletes to behave in exactly the same way is a tough thing for coaches to do. However...

...Philippine Games Bataan Games in Bataan are simply derived and modified from existing Philippine games. * Sakbang Sakbang is a modified game for Taguan. The rules are the same. There will be an ‘it’ and the rest will hide. The difference in this game is that the ‘it’ will point at the person he sees and shout ‘Bang!’ pointing to the person to eliminate him/her from the game. The first person he found will be the next ‘it’ when he found all the persons in hiding. However, if the persons hiding can go near the ‘it’ and shout ‘Sak!’ while balling a hand into a fist like holding a knife and hit the ‘it’, the game will restart with the same ‘it’. Also, the players eliminated in the previous game will be resurrected. * Harangang Taga Harangang Taga is derived from the popular Philippine game Patintero or Tubigan. Like patintero, there will be two teams competing. But instead of a grid, harangang taga makes use of the letter I for the play area. Same rules with patintero where the team on the lines will be ‘it’ and the other team will try passing through them and back. Each person in the ‘it’ team will have his own line. The twist in this game is that there is a so-called ‘paniki’ who can use all the lines in the play area and go around it. If a person on a line reaches or touches the other team then it will be their turn. It is a must that the person who finishes will shout ‘Alagwa!’ to indicate victory for the...
