Playing by the Rules
Once in a while, a natural athlete is born. This is a person who has anangryunusualresult
talent for a
sport. Tiger Woodsmindwereis
one such person. He makes thefairgametoo
of golf look so easy, andgolf'speoplestopped
love to watch him play. Anothertodaynaturalnext
athlete was Bobby Jones. Bobby playedgolfcountrydid
many
years ago, but many youngeasygolfersso
still think of him as aroledecisionstill
model today.
Bobby was born overgolfersoneless
hundred years ago. Like Tiger, Bobbypenaltyshowednatural
a talent for golf
at aathleteusualyoung
age. He was too short torulesusemore

a club in half for
him. Bobbysawedonlynever
had a real golf lesson. Instead, herealoftenlearned
by imitating the best golfer at the

course near his house.
By agetoldtherefourteen
, Bobby was playing in tournaments. Heplaythinkwas

he gottournamenthouseangry
easily. When he missed a shot, heinsteadwouldshowed
often yell and throw his club down. “To

The City Championship
The name “City Champion” has a nice sound, doesn't it? At the beginning of last summer, I
soredidn'tcoached
think of myself as a champ. I hadneverfirstevery
been a champion at anything. Ibasketballsoonharder

though, what can happen as theworkwhistleresult
of a few months of hardcallshalftimework
and practice.
My friends and Ibeatingplaygame
basketball at the Youth Services Center almost everydayeventwants
. Each
year the center hosts asummergivefriends
event called Student Leaders Athletic Mentoring. Everybody calls this
the Summer SLAM forshortseemedday
. Workers at the center assign localwinkidswanted

When the students arrived at thefactorytropicaldark
