Prologue: Confessions of a Writing Dummy "Yo, Jake! Dead last in the essay contest again, huh?" My buddy Mike's words made me hang my head in shame. As an eighth-grader, I was the ultimate writing novice. Terrible grammar, awful sentence structure - you name it, I sucked at it. Back then, I couldn't fathom why writing was such a big deal."Who cares about writing? I just need to ace math and science!" I boasted, but deep down, I was worried. Everyone said essays were crucial for college apps. Was I doomed to fail?Little did I know, an extraordinary journey was about to begin. Chapter 1: A Twist of Fate On my first day of high school, I was shocked to discover our homer...

<Chasing the Home Run: A Middle School Baseball Journey> Hey, I'm Mike. Now I'm in college, but I want to share a special story from my middle school days when I was completely obsessed with baseball. This is the story of how I grew as a person, faced challenges, and learned important lessons along the way. --- In 7th grade, I transferred to a new school. To make friends, I joined the baseball team, even though all I really knew about the sport was what I’d seen on TV—mostly home runs. Still, my heart raced with excitement. **Challenge 1: Understanding My Own Limits** On my first day with the team, I stood on the pitcher’s mound with my glove, feeling like a pro. Reality quickly hit me when my first pitch flew way over the catcher’s glove and into the fence. “Mike, where are you throwing the ball?” Coach asked, laughing. My face burned with embarrassment. That’s when I realized I didn’t know my own skill level as well as I thought. In my second practice, I tried to be mor...

<My Journey: Inspired by Admiration> Hello, I'm Alex Johnson. I'm a high school student now, but I'd like to share a story from my middle school days. Back then, I was an enthusiastic and somewhat quirky kid with big dreams. *** In seventh grade, I was absolutely captivated by the world-famous soccer star, Ethan Miller. His dazzling footwork and powerful shots left me in awe. I decided that I wanted to be just like him in every way possible. ## The First Challenge: A Hair-Raising Experience One day, while staring at myself in the mirror, I thought, "Why not get a haircut just like Ethan Miller's? That'll make me look and feel like a pro!" So, I headed to the local barbershop with a picture of him. "Are you sure about this style? It's a bit... unconventional," the barber cautioned. "Absolutely! Please make it exactly like the photo," I insisted. A couple of hours later, I emerged with a head full of platinum blond hair, styled ...

<The Heart That Yearns for 'Aspiration'> --- ### Transforming into One's Own Style Creating a style requires a clear sense of purpose and both macro and micro approaches. - **Macro Level**: Positioning oneself—deciding where to place oneself in the bigger picture. - **Micro Level**: Refining detailed skills. Positioning is divided into external and internal aspects. - **External Positioning**: Understanding what the flow of the game demands and placing oneself accordingly. - **Internal Positioning**: Deciding which of one's own skills to utilize in that position. On a micro level, it's about detailed elements like how to move your wrists or position your feet. - In extreme situations that require instantaneous movements, one must operate in "auto-mode." All of these need to be harmonized and integrated into one's personal system. --- ### Technicizing Habits Analyzing the pros and cons of habits from an integrated perspective is key to technicizin...

<The Game-Changing Football> Jake sighed deeply as he stared at the football in his hands. An eighth-grader at Lincoln Middle School, he had been devastated when he didn't make the varsity team a month ago. The memory of that day still stung. "Jake, honey, football isn't your whole life. Why don't you try something else?" His mom's concerned voice echoed in his mind. But Jake couldn't give up. Football was everything to him. Then one day, a new PE teacher arrived at their school. Rumor had it he was a former NFL player, and Jake's heart raced with excitement. "Jake, you've got talent. But you need to learn how to unlock it," the coach said. Those words ignited a spark of hope in Jake, and from that day on, his "football brain training" project began. **The Micro-Practice Challenge** The first task was "micro-practice." Jake had to focus on specific skills in confined spaces. Initially, it felt frustrating and bor...

<Train Your Brain Through Sports> Miniature Practice   Practice by focusing on the goal. Technification   The ability to ask questions based on a clear task awareness is important.   Analysis of past and present based on passion and skill is necessary.   This attitude of the player elicits high-level commenting ability from the leader. Leader's Commenting Ability   Just observe.   The leader waits for the right timing to comment while giving time and attention to the player.   It's a crucial moment when the player notices the task, so the leader should answer everything without omission.   Trust builds up when sharing awareness of skills one by one in detail.   Based on this built trust, lightly suggesting direction lays the foundation for skill improvement. Framework and Errors   Correction requires a standard. That standard needs to be built on everyday sensibilities, and the verification process must be done together.   Mul...
