“Women’s Regional Excel Centre partnered with Canada Soccer to build the highest level of performance in Western Canada.” I looked back at my computer screen in denial and disbelief of what I had just read. Refraining from pinching myself, I took one last glance and that flat panel LED display. Being surprised is the neuropsychological equivalent of a pause button. It makes us stop what we're doing, hijacks our awareness, and forces us to pay attention, but in that moment of pure astonishment I couldn't hold back a wail of exhilaration and accomplishment. “Congratulations” The real game changer. A 5 syllable,15 letter word that brought me to my knees. I did it, I thought to myself. I made it happen. It's real. The sight of this one word was so surreal. Others wouldn't understand what this word truly meant, but to me it meant that the hours spent after school in the gym, the morning runs followed by far too chalky protein shakes, and those Friday nights turning down my friends to sit in my basement doing ladders and foot work; all of it finally payed off, all for one word. …show more content…
We lean on each other just as much as we strive individually. Together we are stronger and bring out the best in each other. We win together and lose together. We have girls that are our Moms, they keep us under control. Then we have the loud ones, they are the girls that talk when they should and even when they shouldn't. We have the quiet ones who keep to themselves and hardly engage with others. We have the academically talented and the students who can't hand in assignments on time. The one thing we all have in common is our drive and determination towards this team. The second we step over that white line all our lives change. We don't care about anything besides each other in that moment. All of our differences vanish and the one thing that brought us together in the first place takes over. We come
In this documentary there was a mental skill that stood out the most, in particular, group dynamics/ cohesion. Throughout the team’s football season coach Courtney helps the boys feel closer with their fellow teammates, thus, resulting in each individual to look out for one another. With that said, in the movie the team worked together to achieve a common goal which was to win a playoff game while also working on individual interpersonal relationships with other teammates. With that in mind, different elements of task and social cohesion are emphasized in this documentary.
During the 2012 summer Olympics in London, the Canadian women’s soccer team was able to accomplish something that Canada had not since 1936, earn a medal in a traditional team sport (Ewing). This team was led by their captain and arguably the greatest Canadian soccer player of all time, Christine Sinclair. Sinclair was Canada’s top player all tournament including an incredible performance in a heartbreaking loss in the semi-finals to the United States where she netted a hat trick (http://www.huffingtonpost.ca). Ever since this time, women’s soccer has grown tremendously in Canada and much of this is due to Sinclair’s performance (http://www.statcan.gc.ca). Her dedication, leadership, and tremendous talent has inspired a nation and forever changed the game of soccer in Canada.
I have been in communication with your office over the past few weeks; via phone conversations with Mrs. Butler; who I would like to thank very kindly for always lending a kind ear to hear my words. I spoke to her on yesterday, asking if it was still possible for me to transfer positions within the school system. I posted for a position: Coordinator, CTE Academy; Renaissance @OHS, on Thursday, July 30. I was not certain if I was still able to post for a job; at this late a date. I very candidly expressed to Mrs. Butler my trepidations about returning to Mint Hill. I told her my trust had been broken. I no longer felt as a valued CMS employee, but simply a disposable commodity. I told her I hurt. Yes, my principal contacted me and left
It’s effortless to diagnose the seeming problem hindering the Varsity team’s win against JV’s team from their slogans: “row hard”, “never die” and “nothing to lose” respectively. (1) Major issues within the Varsity’s team dynamics stems from lack of clear goals, low motivation and trust, group dissention and poor team development. “A team is a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable”. (2) This best explains how team Varsity should be performing to outperform the JV team.
Teamwork is strong when everyone try their best every day. The players are finally find God and teamwork. Players give each other respect and teamwork to win most the games.(Quote) Talent wins games but teamwork and intelligence win championships.(CM) Talent is not what anyone want but teamwork and friendship are better.

Teamwork is goal to a team. Together we can beat anyone. Hard work pays off. Teamwork pays off
Having played a variety of team sports throughout my life, I saw a lot of parallels throughout the class work on team building between positive teamwork and success. Reading Five Dysfunctions of a Team and then applying what we learned from the reading into several team building exercise gave me a unique perspective on how to create and identify key team building skills.
PROMPT #2: PROMPT #2: The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
Where do you see beauty? Is it a baby’s first breath? Is it a song heard in the distance, so faint you cannot make out the words? Maybe it is a single drop of paint on a canvas or hands broken, from punching the wall out of primal frustration to be immediately regretted. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To me, as a beholder, beauty is everything. It is in everything. Every single thing I have ever seen is beautiful. All I have ever wanted to do was create more beauty. I have painted, sculpted, carved, sketched, drawn, scribbled and sewed. I have made one million and one masterworks and none have ever really made a difference to anyone but me. That is why I feel I should be considered as a recipient of a Woman’s Club Scholarship.
It was only a day before I would be sent to my mission. Fourteen years of training are put into the only business I prepared for, except my mission was unexplained from the government. It was never documented to my messenger or guardian. All I have been told is that I need to be in the Female Commission Center known as the FCC before the city was shut down. I couldn't sleep in my capsule because my anxiety generated my night visions to be intimidating. I woke up being only 74 percent charged, enough to be awake, however not enough to be working. As the hover train took me to the FCC, my electrical cords were pumping doubtfully swift and the nerves were almost to spark. I knew this life journey will be difficult, but I was not only trained,
Getting prepared for Friday nights, the Webb City varsity cheerleading team took to the track using teamwork, dedication and trust to make the team more successful. “There's no “I” in team, as we all say. We work together to accomplish what we need and strategize in practice,” said Elizabeth Dulinsky ('17). Building trust and teamwork doesn't happen overnight, though. Throughout the season, they played fun games, such as leapfrog and a canoe trip. This helps us to, “work together as one, and we all have positive attitudes,” said Shelby Lortz ('18). The team, like any other team, does face its difficulties.
This letter of support is concerning my wife, Shantei Hinton, in my mother-in-law obtaining her US citizenship. I really enjoyed the happiness of my wife when her mother visited our home during ESTA Travel Visa. My mother-in-law was very helpful during her stay and took care of my children. My wife was relieved as she does not have any immediate family here in Virginia.
During my senior year it was my turn to become the leader of our team, and it was my turn to bring our team together. In order to build a strong working relationship with a team you first need to create the proper environment for everyone. For a team to thrive each teammate must care for one another. To create an environment like this our senior class would regularly schedule team-bonding activities to bring everyone closer together. Along with that, all of the players knew that they could come to us if they needed help with anything, or if something was wrong. The second crucial part of building a strong working relationship with a team is communication. My senior class and I knew that we had to effectively communicate what we expected from our team, and have everyone buy into a common goal (win a championship). We also knew that we had to allow everyone on the team a voice, so we created an environment where people could speak their mind if they wanted to, and we would keep an open mind. By executing the things I talked about above, my senior class and I were able to create the closest team that I had been a part of in all four years of
Well, society encouraged me to act in “gender-appropriate” ways from the moment my parents found out they were having a little girl so my room when I grew up was all decked out in pink and purple, while my brother got a room with blues and greens. From the moment parents find out what the sex of their child is they automatically assign their child to the color that fits their gender like pinks and purples for girls and blue and green for boys. I always grew up surrounded by flowers and things that are deemed as girly and I found nothing wrong with it because it felt normal to me. Well an example of a socialization I experienced as a child was that I always thought everyone had a stay-at-home mom like I did and a father who worked all day to
Throughout every single person’s life, they face a different type of challenge. Old or young, there will always be a wall to break down. One the the major barriers I've had to break down was at a very young age, but that didn’t matter. At any age, I could do anything I wanted to do through determination.
I’m the first to admit that as a woman, I say a lot of things that men will probably find confusing and stupid as you do but as many people would say a woman do have their own language, and for many years men I have known tried to understand the way a woman communicates. I personally would laugh about it because it’s known to be a classic thing for a woman to do and hope to god that when I do find a man that truly communicates and treats me fairly there will be no reason for my stupid comments.
