Men's College Basketball – Moulder
Men’s College Basketball – Moulder
a. Playing men’s basketball in college was a wonderful opportunity for me on several levels. It provided an opportunity that pushed me to work harder than I have ever worked before and it challenged me, mentally and physically. Playing college basketball taught me how to work hard, even when the results may not be immediate, or visible, right away. From this experience, I learned how to compete on the daily basis, while at the same time working together with my team to push each other to become better as a unit.

    I have been playing basketball basically my whole life, it is has shaped me into the person I am today. I started with just a ball and a hoop in my cousins front yard. I would just chuck the ball at hoop for fun, horsing around with my cousins. In elementary and middle school I would play with my friends at recess shooting around, dribbling in circles for the fun of it. I was even better then most of the boys who would play with my group on the courts. When I entered high school that was when I realized I was truly in love with the game. High school was where it was taken to a whole 'nother level. I was introduced to the real dynamics of the sport, it was where I learned that if I really want to do something that I love I had to put my all into it. I had to prove that I was one-hundred percent committed to the game. Practicing everyday for two hours, and…

    A parabola can easily be viewed as an elegant arched trajectory naturally formed by any projectile, from an artillery round to a tomato, moving in a gravitational field. Parabolas have been extensively studied since people started throwing stuff at each other, and they shape the outcome of many ballistic sports, such as baseball, golf, football, shot put and more. But they reach their apex in basketball, where field goals and free throws demand precision control of parabolas. So in tribute to the ongoing NCAA Basketball championships, I present to you, “the March Madness Parabola”.…

These games are exciting for fans because there are those that cheer for schools that make deep runs into their bracket. Even though these NCAA are exciting for some individuals and these fans are going to want to watch the games, it may cause a problem in the workplace.

    In persuasive speaking there are two styles which are, speech of actuation & speech of disposition. I will be informing you the differences between the two speeches.In the actuation speech its designed to cause the audience to do or show something also action. Actuation speech is really particularly useful if only the audience already shares all of your view. An example could be, at the end of presidential campaigns, the candidates begin to focus on convincing their supporters to actually vote. They are seeking to actuate the action of voting through their speeches. Actuate is a term meaning “move to action”, such as arugueing that your grade should be changed. Also you could argue against a tutiton increase. You must be competent in all forms of your speaking such as informing and convincing.…

    In college basketball, alley oops, fancy no look passes, and trash talking, are just some of the things we are now accustomed to today. Before 1991 though, it was all about making the simple plays just to get the ball in the hoop. Before the 90's all players would wear long white socks and short shorts, but now baggy shorts that go to your knees and black socks are in style around the world. What caused these changes to take place? It was a group of college basketball kids called the Fab Five at the University of Michigan. These five phenomenal players brought their own "swag" or style to the court and didn't care how people viewed them. At Michigan, the Fab Five represented a cultural phenomenon that impacted the country in a permanent and…

    For many college athletes, the lure of playing pro sports is intoxicating. Dreams of fancy cars, luxurious homes, tailor-made suits, voluptuous women, and the mental images of a crowded stadium chanting their name is enough for any collegiate athlete to think about abandoning their education for a chance at stardom. When the dreams are solidified with million dollar contracts, think immediately is replaced by impulse. Left behind in the frenzy is the much needed college education that no one seems to care about any more. An athletes only hope is to complete a college education first for what life's lessons has to offer later when hard-knocks is the final exam.…

    Athletics has been an integral component of my entire life. While never being the most athletic or skilled, baseball was my passion growing up. The sport served as a garden for me to grow as a person, learn invaluable lessons, and gain friendships that will last a lifetime. After years of playing year-round, I was blessed to have the option of playing at a couple Small Division II schools or pursue a more academically rigorous degree at UVa. Ultimately, I chose the latter and it has been at the University of Virginia where CrossFit transformed from a supplementary regimen to my passion.…

My freshman year I was voted team captain and that helped me gain leadership skills and communication skills. I earned the award of honorable mentioned in basketball. In Basketball I practiced a lot, because I knew I could get better. Throughout basketball we had several coaching changes. We had Mr. Smith then Mr. Parker and now Mrs. Smith as coaches. Having a different coach every year I feel like it was making it more difficult for the players to grow as a team and ourselves. Each coach had very different ways of teaching the game. Even though it was hard to have coaches leave we also gained different amounts of knowledge from each one, which I thought was a great privilege to get to…
