Sports is human life in microcosm. ~Howard CosellLately, it seems like there has been Basketball every place you look: TV, newspapers, even facebook! Everybody's got a team, an opinion, a prediction of who deserved to win it all! Now, basketball may not be your thing, but write a journal entry describing what IS your favorite sport (or game of any type) to play? How long have you been playing it? Who taught you to play? How do feel when you're out there? What sort of things do you learn from pushing yourself and competing in general? Is there a sport you love to watch, whether or not you play it yourself? A favorite team you follow, perhaps? Tell us all about it! And, by the way, bonus points to anyone who writes down the definition of microcosm, and turns it in to me in class! :)
I am not trying to be an over achiever posting my comment as one of the first. I just was late on my other one and decided to do this one before I forgot. I like to do "Tae kwon do", currently a black belt, because it is fun and I am a natural for it. Ive been doing it for about four years. I started because my sister was doing it and I wanted to be awesome like her. I feel like a BOSS when I do karate, especially when I spar. I learn that if you push yourself hard you get a lot out of it. I like to watch FootBall also, even though I don't play it. My fave team is Alabama Roll Tide

My favorite sport is basketball, because it entertains me and i love it! I've been playing basketball ever sens i was 3. My dad got me playing basketball because when i was born the doctor said to my mom "looks like you got a ball player". I thought it was funny because i really love playing basketball and everything but up until recently i stopped playing basketball for school teams because i hate the way its played. I hate the refs and the plays the couches tell you to run because half the time they don't work and if you tell the couch the play doesn't work and you try to fix it yourself they get really mad at you and sit you out the whole game. Although when i was out on the court i felt like i was at home and its always felt good to have a ball in my hand. I love the thought of competing with people because it brings out the true character of people. They could be really aggressive players and hard working which means they really want to win and want to show you that they are good at what they do. Or they could be really sloppy and they could get mad at everything and get down on themselves when they do something wrong. I personally was always the hard working one who wanted to show the other players i was good and i wanted to win more than they did!

My favorite sport to play is soccer and I have been playing since last year, my freshman year. My coach is Coach Brenner and my assitant coach is Coach Wilbur. They are amazing coaches. When it comes to practice I am excited and ready to get out there and learn new things and play, but when the games start to come around I get a little nervous cause who wouldnt be nervous going up against other players in cleats and you just know your gonna get steped on and pushed over, but hey thats just part of the game. I learn that pushing myself in this sport just goes to show that you will get something out of the game. I wouldnt say I love to watch soccer, but I watch it when I get the chance. The sport I do really like to watch is of course football. My favorite team is the Kansas City Cheifs!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Sport would have to be, boxing, Kickboxing, Grapple, my friends are really competitive. So there constantly thinking they can beat anybody up. I like a challenge. Don't brag about what i do. I try to remain humble. Everyone is in a constant - Bind. Other sports Tack, Football, Tennis, Basebally even. There all great sports. if only i had the time, money, and the grades to devote myself to them. Hopefully by next year ill be doing all of them.

My favorite sport is volleyball. I don't like that many sports. I think that if you want to do a sport than that is fine, but if someone is presuring you to do something that you don't like to do or dont want to to the they just need to leave you alone. I don't think they would like it very much i someone pessured them to do something they didnt want to do. Yes in this world there are people that may not like to play a sport, hang out with friends out of school, or just be around people. If they want to do that way then let them that is there choose not yours so just leave them alone.
ReplyDeleteI like to play baseball.I have played since T-ball. I stopped when I moved to branson in 6th grade. I played center field and short stop and sometimes catcher. I really miss baseball and wish I could play again.
ReplyDelete~WASABI~
I played T-ball when I was young. I enjoyed it too. SuperMan10 3rd hour.
DeleteI love parkour!!! It is my favorite sport of all time!!!!!!!! I have been doing parkour sense the 4th grade, so about 6 years now. I thought myself (its not very hard to get the basics down pat). When I do parkour, I feel like I can concur the world, like nobody can catch me, I feel like I'm invincible.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sport is poul vaulting, I have done it since 7th grade. To me poulvaulting is the funest sport, when I poulvaulting I almost feel like I am flying for a couple seconds, which is also something I love to do. It makes me feel like I can accomplish anything after I clear a certain hight.

My favorite by far is football im by fart the best at it and i have a big passion for it. I'm fast and can make small fast cuts which makes for a good football player. Also when it get hard i dont give up when i most desperatly want to in the summer time when it's hot under all the pads. Football gives me something to look foward to and keeps in occupied and out of trouble. I love football and hopefully can play it in college.

I favorite Sprot would be football. Ive played football for 5 years and havent these teo recent years. I started in fifth grade and stopped freshman year. My dad and mainly friends have taught me to play. I think it teaches me how to control punishments and also keeps me athletic and fit through the year. Football also keeps me in my mood. I think imma start again. I played reciever and safety. 3rd hour SuperMan10
ReplyDeleteMy favorite spory would probably have to be basketball because i love the rush of trying to get the ball and trying to beat the other team. i dont play much anymore but when i was younger i was always on a team and i was one of the top players. i was excited to go to every game and try to win. i never got upset when we lost because i know that we tried!
ReplyDeleteI never really liked sports until my friend and sister got me into cross-country. I have been running cross-country for 4 years. When I run and after I feel like I accomplished something. I loved all the coaches I've ever had. They are all very helpful and encouraging. Cross-country has taught me self-discipline and commitment. This year is my first year trying out for the soccer team. I like it and am learning a lot. Im excited to see how the rest of the season plays out.
ReplyDeleteI don't play sports. I like watching them. My favorite sport that I like watching on TV are football and World's Strongest Men. When I watch World's strongest Men, I feel their pain! Haha XD Those guys lift about to almost 300 lbs of concrete blocks, lift cars, do several cleans, (weight varies). It's kind of scary! But when I watch football, I get a sense of adrenaline, especially when I see my team make a touchdown. It's awesome!!!

ReplyDeleteive played multiple sports throughout my life. i played little leauge baseball. i taught myself. and i loved it. but i quit it a long time ago. then came basketball, once again i taught myself. although it was hard i learned and i still play. just not in school. and now I run track. i sprint and throw, of course i love throwing the most. and i throw discus. which was pretty challenging buuut. practice will eventually make perfect

My favorite team is the Los Angelis Lakers but my favorite player is from the Chicago Bulls, Derrick Rose! ive had scholaship opporunities in basketball and i plan on doing basketball for the rest of my life!
ReplyDeleteMy favorites sport is Dance! Most people don't think that is a sport, but it's competitive and you work hard! I Dance about 10 hours a week at MidWest Dance Revolution. I feel like the majority of my life is there. I'm barely ever home! It does get tiring, especially if I have a lot of homework. I do love to watch dancing. Whether it's on TV or just a show in town! It always puts me in a good mood and just makes me want to dance!
ReplyDeleteI used to do cheerleading. I loved it.I love the feeling in the moring of putting that uniform and going to school. At the begaining i was scarried, but once you are on the sidelines its like nothing matters. I liked cheering for football. I like to watch it so it makes it a lot more fun.And i love when we get a touchdown and the crowd goes crazy and they tand up and cheer with us. I makes the sport so much better. And the sport that i like but i dont play is baseball. I LOVE baseball. Its my favorite sport and i like the cubs and the d-backs.

I don't have a favorite sport or game. I think that they are a waste of precious time and effort, when there is so much more to do with one's life. The worst of all theses games are video games. they are pointless and stupid. they teach chilren that it's ok to be stupid and shoot someone just for looking at you, or running over an old lady can be fun if it gets you 1'000 extra points. I don't absolutly despise all video games, just ones that involve shooting, alien invasions, car racing, car jacking, THE SIMS, or building a zoo. What's the point. It just wastes time that you can spend outside, reading, or doing something with your life.

Eventhough i played basketball almost my whole life until recently, my favorite sport would have to be cross country. I learned about the sport in seventh grade but did volleyball instead, when i decided i didnt like that sport as much i switched to running the next year. I was givin the idea about running in cross country by my two friends who were in that sport in seventh grade. They said that id like it so i gave it a shot. I ended up loving the sport and kept with it even to this day i still have fun running and competing. when im at a meet and running for a place i push myself and it helps me everyday to get better and better. I dont follow a particular team really but when the half marathons are on the tv ill watch the race because i believe it very exciting about how they run, their pace, effort, and who will win in the end.
ReplyDelete-bmmarble
i don't care for sports. i hate football because our school is depending on it. the football players can get away with everything + what is the point of running after someone with the ball ant tackling them to the floor.i have no favorit teams. my favorit game to play is GO(chinese game), yu-gi-oh, chest, and checkers. my friends tought me to play these games. it is fun playing these games with my friends because it is a chalenage to beat them so i learn stradigy and it is fun. people dis the games we play i think it is because they don't understand it or because they are jerk who enjoy tearing others down to make them feel better about themselfs.

ReplyDeleteColorguard/Winterguard is defiantly my favorite sport! Most people wouldn't considered it a sport, but is just as active as any other. I've been in it for three years or, as we call it, five seasons. There are two seasons in a year( colorguard and winterguard). I came across it when I helped the band during their marching season in the 8th grade. That year I did winterguard with them and fell in love with it! I started of just spinning flag, but now I spin flag, rifle, and saber.
My favorite guard is Union High School. The are absolutely amazing! There are several guards that really good. It is so breath taking to go and watch other guards!
My favorite team is the kansas city chiefs even though tbey are not very good. I like them because I was raised in missouri and you have to like a missouri team, and the st louis rams were not an option. But my favorite player is wes welker because he only had one scholorship and he still made it to the pros

My favorite sport is kickball. I'm pretty sure that we all played it in elementary school. I just like it because it's one of the only sports (besides soccer) where I get to kick a ball as hard as I can and watch it soar as I run to first base. It's pretty fun, unless a person comes over and catches it before you can run.
ReplyDelete-.- Anyway, I just like kickball because I have been playing it for years.
I play alot of sports but i only have one favorite.... Socer!!!! I have played soccer scince i was 5 and have been playing every year since my first pair of cleats. I also play basketball and track, and i also played football in my younger years. My dad was the coach of my soccer team up untill i was 9 or 10 and then i started playing for the recs plex. I love playing basketball, but i dont do as well when i'm on a team but i love playing pick-up games with friends.

I do not have many sports I enjoy, many of which would not be considered sports by others. I've been following eSports for about a year now and I play games that are heavily involved in the competitive scene. How long have you been playing it? I've been playing these games for years but I have been playing one of the biggest competitive genres in the world for a year now. My fellow online gamers have been teaching me how to play ever since I began, and I owe most of my knowledge to them. Playing games relives my stress and allows me to have a lot of fun; it is a great time for bonding with your friends as well. Is there a sport you love to watch, whether or not you play it yourself? Other than eSports, I enjoy watching baseball and hockey yet I wouldn't consider myself a fan.
ReplyDeleteEven though I am not in any of the sports at school there are many sports that I actually enjoy playing and competeing in. My favorite football team though would be the New Orleands Saints!!! Whitch most people find funny sice i'm not from there, but I do have family there. They are my favorite because unlike the Rams...... they actually don't suck! They are a very well skilled team in my opion. I also play football and am proud to say i'm pretty good at it. My cousins were the people who taught me how to play the sport. I have 15 of them... Most of them are boys ex 3 people and they all pretty much ex for 4 play football. My oldest cousin probly helped me with it the most cause I used to help him pratice before he graduated and his saying is just like my whole familys... "dosent matter if your new at a game or a girl i'm not going easy on you..." so after awhile you kinda catch on..... But football is not my only sport I also love to swim and play base ball. My favorite thing next to football though is volly ball. I'm okay at it.. those are just some of the things I like about sports. And to all of you people that are fans of the rams once again.... your team sucks :)
ReplyDeleteplaygurl1
I'm not in any sports. I used to be in basketball, but that sucked. When I was 11 and 12 I was in gymnastics. I'd say that's my favorite sport. I mean who doesn't want to do sick flips n stuff? I got pretty good at it. I was gonna compete, but I had to move. But it really helped me out cuz now I can do cool stuff that most people can't. Like parkour. Yeah it's fun.

The sport I like is softball. I've never played for the school but I played for the rec. I played for only two years and the coaches taught me how to play. It was always during summer and it interfered with all my summer plans, and not being able to go on vacation or anything. When I was out there playing it was a good feeling. I was the catcher and I always had to push myself, to always get down far enough to get catch the ground balls, and be up when the ball is high. I love softball, but I don't play anymore. Although, I don't follow or watch any sports. I don't like watching TV.

My favorite sport is street league skateboarding, although most people don't consider it a sport. But hey... we all know CHEEREADING isn't a sport. I pretty much skateboard everyday and it could actually lead me into a professional career.
ReplyDeleteI don’t usually watch TV or Sports but I enjoy watching some sports but only the teams I like. My favorite sport used to be soccer but now I’m in to track and running. Right now I’m in track and I’m enjoying running with my friends and going to meets I if watch sports it’s either the super bowl or OU vs. Some other team I don’t like (FOOTBALL). Sports are a great way to stay in shape I think everyone should try it at some point in their life.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sport is wrestling. My family has been in it for a little over nine years. I started when I was in 1st grade, and I've been back and forth with it ever since. The feeling I get on the mat is intoxicating. It's scary how serious I get while in the mode. Right before I get one the mat, while I'm mentally preparing myself, I get this set of chills that run over my body. My thoughts clear, my vision focuses, and I get ready to destroy anyone in my way.

I don't play any sports, but do loev to play video games. Not the games like Call of Duty and Halo, but Devil May Cry, Minecraft, and Prototype. I am not good at first person shooters and never will be. I do, however, like to read. I could read for hours when I'm not playing games on the computer, or wtahcing videos on those I can't yet afford. I recently finished the "Young Samurai" trilogy. I CRIED at the end of the final book! Must... Go... Read...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sport is football and I have been playing it sense I was 7. I like it because you can legaly tackle people. It is also really fun to watch on tv. My favorite team is the kansas city chiefs. Football has to be one of the best sport ever invented.

im more into the sprot of cage fighting and things along those lines, i have trained in forms of karate and that sort of thing. So, for me sports havent been the main thing on my mind i dont pay much attention to the sports scores in basketball because it never struck me as an interesting sport, its too simple for me, now football on the other hand is an okay sport and i agree with it more than others.
