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 love tennis. My dad taught me how to play. I have gotten better in the past year. I love the feeling I get when i make a good backhand or a good overhead shot. I love serving a lot but I love making a powerful serve. Oh and my favorite team is the Arkansas Razorbacks. I classify my self as the biggest fan in the school.
ReplyDeleteMy game that I would say I like the most would be soccer I like to play this because it isn't very complicated but also fun. I wasn't really taught by anyone just learned and picked it up by watching I suppose. I like to play espically whenever it is warm and the wind feels great! I don't really watch it on t.v. and there for I don't have a favorite team.
ReplyDeleteI hate sports. There's really no point in watching them because yes you may have a team but whats the point of sitting there and watching while you could be doing it? I used to play soccer& volleyball but since they picked the teams by who had the most money it wasnt really fair.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sport is definitely Basketball. I've been around it my whole life. I play Basketball whenever i can with friends. I love to play this sport because it's like nonstop action most of the time. you are always active! my dad first started me out on this sport and growing up with my cousins, we always found time to play. Not really a favorite team in particular. I'd rather play than watch.
ReplyDeleteI don't really play sports per se, I do however play them sometimes with some friends. My favorite sport is football, of course I would rather play than watch it, I still have the Kansas City Chiefs reserved as my favorite professional team.
ReplyDeleteI used to be a sports junkie but as my priorities have shifted it's more of a hobby than an obbsession. I love to play and watch basketball when I can, it's amazing how easy they make the game look. I think sports teaches you how to push beyond the limits that humans usually push. Though I enjoy watching a lot more than I enjoy playing nowadays I can say sports has taught me many lessons in character while I was growing up :)
ReplyDeleteWell i dont have a specific sport i absolulty love. I enjoy all playing all sports and i play them where ever the situation is brought up. However I dont like to join a team thats all caught up in the game and everyone gets super serious and angrey over something silly.
ReplyDeleteSports? I Dont like watching any sports, I think its a waste of time.
ReplyDeleteThe only sports i like to play is basketball but only with certain people. Also with my injury i cant run.
i dont really like to watch sports but i like to play them like soccer and vollyball i love palying them with my family and friends i only do this for the fun of it i dont really like to do it for competion or be serious about it.
ReplyDeleteMy two favorite sports are basketball and soccer. I started to play basketball when I was in first grade and I never played soccer on a team, just with my friends and family but it wasn't often. My favorite basketball team is the Miami Heat. My favorite soccer teams are Chivas de Guadalajara, FC barcelona, Manchester United, and AC Milan. And I have other favorite soccer teams. I would like to play soccer in the future.
ReplyDeleteI do not really care to watch any sport but I love to play in anything even if I dont know how to play.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sport is vollyball, I used to play it a lot when I was growing up and I played on a team with one of my bestfriends which made me like it even more because it was so fun. I also like to watch soccor, But other than that I can't really watch other sport games because they feel boring to me.
ReplyDeleteI used to play a lot of sports, like volleyball, basketball, and soccer. After I became in junior high, I kind of got to caught up in school and didn't have time to do anything else. I don't do sports anymore. haa.
ReplyDeleteI don't follow any sports. But if I had to choose a favorite sport to watch, it would be football. My favorite sport to play is a tie between basketball and football.
ReplyDeletemy favorite teams and sport is baseball. my favorite teams are the cardinals, phillies, redsox and the yankees. i follow these teams because they have had great players in the past. for example, the yankee's had players like babe ruth, lou gerhig, and mickey mantle.
ReplyDeletei play soccer and enjoy being out on the field. i like knowing that the postion i play makes me one of the leaders on and off the field. my word goes and when i tell someone to do something, they do it. i love having that total control over the outcome of a game, because i feel like im more than capable of handiling that task. me being in the back seeing everything that goes on gives me the ability to help teamates see what they cant and allows me to dictate the pace of the game as well. i only started playing last year and have come a long way in very little time. no one really taught me, i taught myself by watching and trial and error as well.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sport would have to be either volly ball or tenis. Cause in volly ball you can just hang out with the girls and just have fun. And just have fun. I love it cause i really dont have many girl friends they are most guys. I dont watch it on Tv,or i dont have a favorite team. I just kinda picked it up from p.e in like 2nd grade from my favorite couch. And with tenis you get to be out side in the spring witch is usally nice weather. And i also love it cause it gives me and my boyfriend something to do cause he is on the tenis team here. And he helps me with things i need help on. I just stared liken tenis this year in p.e and i am probly gunna do tenis text year. I dont watch it on tv or i have no favorite team. But i do love to watch FOOTBALL :)
ReplyDeleteThe sport that i love to play the most is tennis because I like the thrill of winning! If you lose its ok because you play more then one match. The game I love to watch the most is baseball. I like to watch all the people get excited and jump up and down cheering for their team. My whole family is a baseball family! Our favorite team is the St. Louis Cardinals!!
ReplyDeletemy favorite sport would proble be baseball becuase it very competitive and theres always something going on so yea... But if i say anyone talt me this sport it would be my dad so yea.
ReplyDeleteThere are no games that i like to watch on TV. One of the sports i hate to watch the most is baseball. I would rather play the sport and be part of the action. I like soccer and tennis. I don't like being on any team i just play for fun. I dont like to try to hard to be the best or MVP i just like to play for fun. Doesn't matter if i win or lose just that i had fun. I hate hate HATE cheaters!!!!!
ReplyDeletereally the only sport that i really follow is baseball. my favorite team is the Boston Red Sox. ive been following and playing baseball for about eight years. i tought myself how to play. a lot of people think baseball if a really boring sport. they need to get a life and go try playing it. it an extremely fast paced game where your constantly running. it takes a lot of conditioning and hard work to play.
ReplyDeleteI love all sports, I cant really pick one as my favorite. It really depends on the mood I'm in,for example right now I would get up and play: MMA,Soccer,and Baseball. What I gain out of playing sports; umm health and I just love doing them. No one really taught me how to play I learn on my own by watching. I love watching soccer, and hope to one day see Manchester United play live.
ReplyDeletei love sports its my life and i wat yo play inwnba or coach a team and i love it alot now an its fun to play with people that re beter than you so you can get bettr
ReplyDeletei like to longboard and my friend actually got me started doing it. i fell free when im riding it is so much fun. but other than that i dont like or watch any other sport
ReplyDeletei do not like sports nor anything that is sports related and i prefer to be alone in my stuff and in my life i would rather do anything people do not normally do
ReplyDeleteMrs. snow this is completely off subject but it is the only way i could think to talk to you i dont know what your thoughts are on the war in iraq but i need help trying to start a support the troops servise through the school me and my friend both come from roughly the same back grounds and both have heard stories abut how soldiers got letters from students and it really boosted their moral. i just dont see how people can go on about their lives when men and woman are over there risking their lives for us i feel like it would be a good thing to get the school to do. there are alot of charities going through the school however none of them take care of the people defending our rights
ReplyDeleteWhen I play soccer, I cant possibly think of anything else around me. I really get in the game and give it everything I have. Ive been playing sinse I was 6, but I had to take a year break off after breaking my ankle. Another thing I love to do is dance. Ive been dancing sinse I was 3. Its an easy way to exspress how you feel. And every time a song comes on my body cant help but move.
ReplyDeleteI love competeing for somethings. Like in speech its so much fun to watch other people preform and try to beat me ;). Ive found that im not sure what my favorite sprot is but i love competeing and the art of competition anyway :).
ReplyDeletei really like the sport tennis. i found it to be challenging and fun. i went and joined the team last year and it was amazing. i realize tht last season certain people stood in my way and brought me down from achieving and showing my best but for this upcoming season nothing will get in my way:)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sport to play is probably basketball, although I'm not every good at it. I really don't know how long I've been playing, for a while I guess. I feel allright, just playing some basketball with friends really. I love to watch UFC if thats a sport, sometimes football. My favorite team is the New Orleans Saints cause thats where I'm from.
ReplyDeleteMe, I love football, i've been playing since 5th grade and though i recently stopped played due to work, I still love the sport. My dad originally got me interested in playing but all the coaches taught me how to play. Whether it's practice or an actual game i feel like the king of the world, there's no better feeling crushing the runningback when he thinks he can manuever around, all he ever gets is a loss of yardage and possibly a broken bone. Throughout football i've learned that in order to be good at something you have to work hard, some less than others, but still hard. I had to work hard, mainly because I break bones very easily, i've been injured multiple times, but i always get back on my feet, except when my hand separated from my arm. Professional football is a very enjoyable sport to watch, if I had a favorite team i'd be the colts
ReplyDeleteWell my favorite sport is Basketball followed by Football. I love to play both with friends and even random pick up games. My favorite basketball teams are the Lakers,Bulls, and Thunder. My favorite football team is the Saints because i grew up with them all around me. My grandma first taught me how to play basketball when i was very little. As for football i can't remember who first taught me...
ReplyDeletemy sport is football ive only played it for a season. i like it because hitting people is my thing and i get to do it with out getting in trouble so why not. learned to play this sport from my coaches, when it was first introduced to my i was nervous because i didnt know any thing about it or what to in a game type situation but once i learded every thing about the sport and what my job was it was a breeze. i dont have a fav. team i just like the winning team in every game.
ReplyDeleteMy sport would have to be baseball/softball and that is because I love to run short distances and im GREAT at catching and hitting, i taught myself how to play as a young child because I never really had my siblings around to play with. I dont have a favorite team nor player, I also dont play the game to win i play because it makes me happy
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sport to play is football but recently have lost the drive to play. My dad is a 2 time state deffensive player of the week and 1 time state player of the week in AR, he tought me everything i know about the sport.
ReplyDeletethe sport team i like is the chiefs i barly watch them play but they would have to be my favorite
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sport is easily soccer. I've been playing my whole life. I learned everything I know from my coachs who push me through the hard times to reach glory. My favorite team is Real Madrid. I play soccer year round.
