But unfortunately, I did not awake by the alarm that I had set. When I was wake up, it is already 2.20 pm. There was only left 10 minutes for me to prepare all the things and rush to volley ball’s field. I just quickly wash my face and simply pick a shirt in my cupboard.

    The whole crowd was booming in excitement as the score was Jay’s and Trey's, my team, 32 to the other team’s measly 10. I had over half the points in the first half, as I finished with 18 points. As the beginning of the second half begun, all eyes were on me. Nothing else even tried to enter my mind as I was deeply focused. I entered the game as a shooting guard this time, so I could get more open shots. At the beginning of that half, I had kind of slowed down to just regular Kaden, just controlling the game with good passing and aggressiveness. It wasn’t until the buzzer sounded that I knew it was time to go back to dominance. The other team had caught fire and brought the game back to a two point game, 42 to…

    We were the champions. Skating as fast as possible, I rushed from the blue line to the net where our goalie was. Our team dog piled on top of one another and screamed with joy. Cheering and crying rang throughout the entire arena. I was elated, tears streamed down my face as I hugged my teammates. After a few seconds, our team recognized that we needed to shake hands with the other team. I understood the defeat and sadness in the opposing teams’ eyes because earlier in the year, I lost to an underdog team in the soccer section final. After the hand shaking, I was a given a medal from my coach.…

    On January 26th, I made a huge error in my basketball game against West Central. To anybody else, that game might have seemed unimportant- insignificant really. They were not a conference rival or a sectional team. To me however, this game was very significant because I used to attend that school. At that game, I played all of my friends from kindergarten to fifth grade. I hoped that I didn’t make a fool of myself. I hoped to do amazing so that all of my old friends would see what a great basketball player I had become. I hoped that I would make a play so amazing that everyone would remember it. While I would certainly not forget the play I made, it was not the spectacular one I had dreamed. My gym teacher- Mr. Prairie asked the class, “Who’s ready for the basketball game tonight against West Central,” and I wondered if I was. Because of my insistent worrying I could not manage to make a play through all of gym class (we were playing basketball)…

    Slowly, I kneel down to tie my shoe for the fourth time this match. The sweat creeps down my face as if mocking me in saying that I should have taken the cardio sessions more seriously. At this point I was doing everything I could just to keep my body from collapsing to the ground. The feel of the sun beating down makes me wonder if it is purposely driving all of its energy to sap mine. Glancing up across the court I see my water bottle filled with mountain dew. At that very moment the sugary, citrusy scent flows through my nose increasing my thirst even more. I could care less if everyone knows that my shoe really wasn’t untied, and they did. This was too much, the constant sprinting back and forth while trying to place the ball in that perfect spot. Why would anyone participate in something like this willingly? Somehow I always pick the best hobbies. It’s been about a minute now and my hand tightens around the sticky tape of my racket as I use every ounce of energy I have left to stand to my feet. Standing there my weight now shifts back and forth between my tired and blistered feet. She serves. My fast reflexes allow me to throw my racket to where the ball is going and my jaw tenses as I brace myself for impact. The vibrations tingle up my arm as I strategically swing through the ball at the perfect speed and angle. Well, almost perfect. The disappointment of another return into the net. A smirk on my opponent’s face shows her attempt at hiding the satisfaction she has in…

    I liked watching soccer, and the decision to join varsity soccer seemed healthy. Initially, I was not able to control the ball or to run quickly enough, so I did not get to play during the matches. There was no way I could talk my way into earning any playtime; therefore, I worked on improving myself. I stayed for ten minutes after practices to kick more balls, and I woke up before school start to run two miles. The minute when I was called to play at a match was an achievement. Throughout the season, I kept improving and earned more play time, while leading a happy and healthy life. At the end of the season, I received a surprising award for the “Most Improved Player,” which I did not take for granted. Playing soccer was pleasing thanks to…

    The team got together the next week for the yearly season ending party. I walked into my coaches house with guilt still hanging on my shoulders. To my surprise though, no one seemed to be mad at me, even when I had lost us the game, and they had to be upset about not winning the championship title. When our captain had started to organize teams for a little kick-around session, I realized why no one was disappointed at me, or in general for that matter. It was possibly the pressure of winning or the excitement that I might finally live up to my sister’s standards, but somewhere along the way I had forgotten why my teammates and I played soccer in the first place. Although it would have been great, it wasn’t to gain a tournament title or win the game. It was because we all shared the love of the game. I didn’t need to receive a trophy or even come out with an underdog win to have fun playing soccer with some of my closest friends, but apparently I needed to freeze up to remember…

    It didn’t quite feel like an important competition until my dad and I made our way into the coliseum; I got a rush of adrenaline as I saw the hundreds of determined athletes, thousands of chairs, and the big screen in the middle that would display the scores. The parents were starting to gather in the seats, fighting over the ones in front, and the gymnasts and coaches were on the floor preparing for the competition to begin. Every one of the gymnasts was judgmental of the people around them, convinced that they were the best. I could practically feel the cruel glares being sent my way as I descended the stairs to the floor of the arena. When I got to the bottom I paused for a moment to pray before I went to go meet up with my team; “Dear God, please help me to perform my very best despite my ankle.…

    I had fallen in love with the sport. My teammates instantly became best friends and my coach became my mentor. At such a young age, advise our coach gave us still runs through my mind every day.

We had not been this close to winning a set all season, and all we had to do was not let the other team get this next point. As the ball came into play, I saw it coming right towards me and just knew that this was my time to shine. This was the moment in all the movies where the girl wins the game for her team and they all celebrate wildly. However for me, the fairy-tale ending was not to be. The ball came right to my hands, and as I hit it, it went straight into the net and onto the…

    When we arrived at the gymnasium everyone was so excited to get dressed and warm up on the big court. When I stepped out onto the floor I just stopped and took a look around to take it all in. I could smell the most buttery salty popcorn you could imagine lingering through the air. I could hear the sound of cheering and laughing from end to end of the court coming from all the fans. Everywhere I looked I saw the most vibrant colors of red spread out across the bleachers, fans from my hometown coming to show their support. It was so close to game time I could feel the rush going over my body, sweating heavily and anxious to get that first bucket.…
