Writing Assignment 5

<Chapter8: Lighten Up!>

Answer for Expedition Log. Chapter8

  When I was in junior high and high school, I was belomg to volleyball club. When we have a game, whether it was for practice or official one, we cheered ourself up by encouraging each other, dancing our special dance, and our coach said us "Smile, laugh and enjoy your game!".  A good atmosphere is very important for playing volleyball. So when we get a point (whatever by a completed spike or the "small wins" like the mistakes of an opponent) during the game, we celebrate it with jamping and running around the coat. That made us more successful and led the victory. I am sure that every time we won the game, we had great atmosphere and could enjoy the game.    I can say the same thing for our football team except the before time of the game. Comperaed with my volleyball team, our football team have tense atmosphere because everyone concentrate their consciousness on the match. But just before the game, they raise their tension and fight the game.

 Through this experience, I know that good atmosphere is one of the key for success for the team, so that celebration even for the "small wins" is very important.
