This past weekend I went back to my home town; Jacksonville, Fl, and visited with some of my old friends from high school. Since we all live so close to the beach we all decided to have a beach day on Saturday. While we were at the beach on Saturday we all decided to rent two paddleboards and try it out. None of us have ever paddled boarded before this just surfed, but we always see people paddle boarding at the beach so we thought it was going to be pretty easy. My friend Michelle and I were the first two people that went out to try it and my other friend jo just laughed at us from the beach. It was a lot harder than what we thought especially in not a calm ocean. We kept getting up then falling down over and over again, but despite all our efforts it was a very fun experience. I don’t think I stood up on the paddle board for more than 2minutes, but it was a great challenge. I loved it because there was …show more content…
One of the motivators paddle boarding can be described as is Intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is the performance of an activity for the behaviors itself and the feels that result from the activity. People want to go paddle boarding because they want to feel peace, happiness, and a boasted self-esteem just like how I felt. They want to paddle board because they have experienced that the result of this activity leaves them feeling good. The second motivation would be Identified motivation. Identified motivation means people participate because they see the value and get something out of it (skill building or increasing physical fitness). While I was paddle boarding I what kept me getting back up on the board was the fact that if I kept getting on the board I would improve my skill. As well as myself, people want to keep paddle boarding and getting back up on the board because they believe that if they continue to not give up not only will their skill improve, but also their physical
One way is called a beach start and the first thing a person should do to perform this type of start would be to strap themselves to the board. The boat drives away from the beach you hold onto the rope you’re your knee boarding. The second way is the most used and I call it a deep water start. The deep water start begins with me laying on the kneeboard with the strap to my side and holding the rope out at the edge of the board. As the boat starts to pick up speed the kneeboard begins to lift up higher out the water. This happens because the tilt of the board pushes on the water causing the water to push back which gives the board its lift. While the boat is still speeding up I begin my move up the board by pulling my knees up toward my chest. As I am pulling up my knees, I slowly start to lean back on the board. This is to keep the right amount of lift while I am still getting up to speed. Now that I have my knees in the knee slots I grab the strap and secure myself to the board so I don’t fall off. Once I am settled in on the board and have the boat running about 25 mph the kneeboard and I have no problem with balance. Because of my new speed I can knee on the board and not worry about fall over. The reason behind this is simple, speed, without moving across the water kneeing down on the board was nearly impossible. Now that I am traveling across the water I have the lift from the water and a small amount of drag. In
“Young Goodman Brown,” by Nathanial Hawthorne, is the story of one man’s journey to find himself. In it, Hawthorne uses many elements as symbols to add significance throughout the chronicle. The author does a good job of portraying some of the people and objects with symbols and allows the story to become more developed.
Learning to skateboard was never easy for me. I’ve never been a real balanced or coordinated person so skateboarding was like trying to learn the meaning to the film “Inception”. Even though I was never delighted to hop back on a piece of wood on wheels called a “skateboard” I was determined to learn; time and time again I fell but getting back up is what mattered. Now I’m like a surfer hitting that wave he’s been waiting for his whole life. Now if I’m not on my board I’m on my bike. Skating is now one of the easiest things I do nowadays. I’ve been skating for almost 6 years now and will continue to skate until I simply
Longboarding is my passion. Even though i don't do it as much anymore i still love it. It give me a sense of freedom and adrenaline. My most memorable story with longboarding is when i fell of my longboard. Now for anyone that doesnt know, a longboard is a stateboard with wider and larger wheels.
One day last summer me and my family went to the pool in iowa falls. It was me my brother Dakota my sisters Aubrey and Brooklynn my step mom and my dad. I went to jump off the diving board. I did a few diffrent things including a backflip,dive and a couple of front flips.
I believe surfing is the best motivator. Life is difficult. It throws hard challenges at you, only to surge you forward in the end. You won’t always be riding high in life. You’ll experience flat days, but afterwards, you’ll be riding the highest wave. Sometimes you’ll get stranded in the impact zone, so overwhelmed with work and events that you’ll collapse, but that just means next time you’ll know how to balance your day just right.
"JESUS in the classroom!" Are you feeling uncomfortable yet? Religion in the public school systems is among the top of the list of controversial topics in American society, We've long been advised to avoid this and other religiously politically intertwined subjects in polite conversation. If you're like most Americans, this topic makes you frustrated, high strung, or at least a little queasy. From the day the 1st amendment right appeared in the U.S. Constitution, to this present day, and surely into our nation's tomorrows, the proper role of religion in public schools has been, is, and will continue to be a subject of great debate. It is important for school officials, parents, and students
People need self-motivation to succeed because not every problem can be solved by others, some have to be solved by oneself. When conflicts arise, individuals need to seek out the path of best fit to conquer the issue at hand. Throughout my entire childhood, I aspired to be a great swimmer. When I was a young adolescent, my favorite sport to watch during the Olympics was swimming. How could someone move so fast through the water? The extremely close races and extraordinary comebacks always excited me. I wanted experience the thrill for myself.
There are several different kinds of motivation, and some of the different types include extrinsic motivation, intrinsic motivation, physiological motivation, and achievement motivation. Intrinsic, extrinsic, and psychological motivation all play a role in an individual’s achievement motivation. Extrinsic motivation is motivation from outside circumstances that can influence an individual’s motivation. Extrinsic motivation factors can range from social acceptance, a promotion, or even a monetary reward. Intrinsic motivation on the other hand is motivation that comes from within an individual. Intrinsic motivation factors would be a person’s enjoyment and satisfaction they get from achieving a task. A person’s
Motivation in sports is why people do what they do. It is also the direction and intensity of one’s effort and determination to achieve. The more motivated one is, the more likely one is to succeed.
Motivation is crucial for an athlete in order to want to win. It is hard to want to win if you have no motivation. The main aspect of motivation in terms of the self-determination theory is intrinsic motivation. The self-determination theory can be defined as “a highly appropriate conceptual framework from which to study sport persistence and dropout” (Calvo, Cervelló, Jiménez, Iglesias, & Moreno Murcia, 2010). Intrinsic Motivation can be defined as “an athlete taking up playing a sport just for the enjoyment of playing a sport” (Pelletier, Tuson, Fortier, Vallerand, & Briére, 1995). It is important to realize that the self-determination theory affects an athlete’s motivation intrinsically (internally) because the self-determination theory uses factors like “autonomy” and “competence” to motivate an athlete to play better in their sport. Most athletes, now and in the past, find it easier to motivate themselves intrinsically if they enjoy the sport or have fun while playing the sport (Ryan & Deci, 1985).
“Motivation is the process whereby goal-orientated activity is instigated and sustained” (Schunk, Pintrich & Meece, 2008. As cited in Eggen & Kauchak, 2010, p.284). Motivation comes in many forms and can be divided into two broad categories - extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivators are external
Many boys are raised in a home where there is a dominant male, most of the parents and psychologist agree that young men need more feminism, even in their homes. Young men do need to be more concerned about women's right on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality of men. There are many examples of women being superior to men, and yes men do need to be raised so they have more “Rugged masculinity”But they also need to need to learn how to respect and try to gain more rights for woman. There needs to be more of a change in the way we raise boys. Women are being disrespected and the men involved have slower brain development.
Motivation in general is the drive to do something. There are two types of motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation refers to the action done for the sake of enjoyment (Study.com, n. d.). The action is done simply because we like the activity and not for other outcomes. In intrinsic motivation, people do it just because they find it fun and enjoyable. For instance, Leigh Anne was known for her commitment to the less fortunate. She had been doing charity simply because she wanted to and not because of profit or any other repayment.
I felt a bumpy and hard surface, and it didn’t appear to move when I went to grab it. I brought it to the surface immediately and was in awe at what I had just picked up. I heard my friend say, ”That’s Tracie! She 's paddling with me one moment, and then she just dives in after something.” That was such a compliment. This is why I love paddle boarding. The viewpoint from a board is amazing!
