Here at SPHS.
There is a home here for you and a team that you can call family.
You can find any sport to be a part of whether you want to be an
athlete or a team manager or even an athletic intern like myself.
No.
Um me personally on the field,
I have taken a big leadership role within the past two years and
they've overall just made me a better person.
Like I've noticed such a drastic change within myself and like
how I even uphold myself now, not in a standing of being higher,
but just understanding that there are people who look at me as
like an example and a role model and then having that sometimes
it can be a pressure like to carry and a burden almost.
But to know that like I have people watching me and looking up
to me helps keep me in check. And like, always,
even when I'm down and I'm feeling like I could be doing more or
I'm not doing enough sometimes just to know that there are
people who are seeing that and looking up to me for that keeps
me going to be a student athlete means that school work comes
first, respected teachers, get good grades.
Then when it comes to, when it comes time to hit the field,
you get on time to practice,
you're doing what you're supposed to,
helping all the teammates and just listening to whatever coaches
that with sports in general and being a student athlete, um,
you have to work hard to be on teams.
You have to work hard in school to stay on a team.
And I think that translates into real life.
You have to work hard to get the things that you want in a job.
You have to work hard to make money.
So I think that's a lesson that I've taken from my sports team.
Um, well,
I hope my teammates from this year who also junior to join the
team again. Um, and in coming ninth graders,
I hope that if they would like to play soccer that they come out
and try it out,
see if it and the there's also other options if they don't wanna
do that, but they should at least try.
Everybody is welcoming and not everybody is amazing when they
first start out.
So just coming and practicing and trying is all that's required
of you. Yeah. So all I'm gonna say is, um,
next year just put in the work on and off the field,
hopefully to make sure we have a good season and then do it very
well and for anybody else who's watching this?
Um, um, you could come to the baseball team.
My final words would be if you want change to be the change.
