High School Sports.

Does anyone miss high school? I know I do not miss high school itself. Hate the drama and the immaturity. But I do miss the high school sport aspect of it. I loved going out on the field, and proving myself as a player by stopping a goal, or stealing the ball from a player to take a fast break on the court, and even acing a opponent on the court. College sports are so much different. I played field hockey my freshmen year of college, and it was so different coming from high school to college, the speed is a lot faster, which i loved. But I felt like the team aspect was a lot different. People seemed to be playing more for themselves. My high school teams were so close, and everyone was team players. It was not like that last year. Which was a big disappointment. :( At least I made it through the whole season without quitting like many players that I played with did, both on my team, and from my high school team that went off to play at college.

Scaryy.

So I was talking to my friend the other day on Ichat and he sent me this video:

It was about a cheerleader who took a flu shot, and ten days later wouldn't walk right, or speak. Its so scary. The wicked weird thing, was that when she were to walk backwards or run, everything would be fine. Her speech was fluent, her run/walk weren't choppy. It almost seems like she is making it up. But this is a real disease! So weird, makes you think twice about getting a flu shot!!

Physical Education.

So I was very excited to find out more about the Athletic Director profession. I went to my little sister's field hockey game, and the AD was there. Since I was very involved in sports in high school, we knew each other very well. I was able to ask him details of what schooling he had to do to get where he is. And all I need is a physical education degree! He said it is definitely easier to get the AD position, after coaching some sports team. He thought I could fit in easily as a coach since I played three varsity sports. He said he could definitely see me becoming an AD. Im very excited about this new career opportunity. I am hoping and looking forward to being able to job shadow him in the near future!
