A1 I have no idea. I really was so bad in gym class even, that I have no joy when it comes to participating in sports. #resiliencechat

msfresconyc Apr 3 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1 promotes teamwork and problem solving and competition can also be fun #resiliencechat

Bhsteeler Apr 3 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1: willingness to accept a role to be part of something special #resiliencechat

A2 others taking the 'fun' out of the sport - too competitive that adds pressure to our young athletes #resiliencechat

Bhsteeler Apr 3 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2: parents who live vicariously through five, six and seven year olds #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A1 My gym teachers esp in HS seemed to take special joy in announcing my name last when we did gymnastics. Lowest score. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:17 PM EDT

Sorry to hear about that. I am sure that didn't feel good. #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A1 I really hate competition. If you're good at something then fine. But for schlubs like me, eh. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:18 PM EDT

Yes, I am always for cooperation/collaboration over competition! #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A1 I was so bad in gym class, (how bad was I?) I couldn't even dribble a basketball let alone throw one close to basket. #resiliencechat

SOC54 Apr 3 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A1: learning that "good" is the worst enemy of your "best"! #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:19 PM EDT

Q3: What sport have you been involved with that had you tap into your resilience? #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:20 PM EDT

Sure it felt bad. But after a while it was more of a yeah, whatever, you sadistic bitch reaction. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A3: I was a jock in high school so there were lots of sports where I had to tap my resilience-tennis; skiing; field hockey...#resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:21 PM EDT

Me, too. And maybe then I would have felt OK in gym class. Was relieved when in college I had all my credits. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

Ouch! #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

Bhsteeler Apr 3 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A3: golf and tennis, track all are by their nature based on individual accountability, you need to kick your own butt #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:22 PM EDT

Q4 is a time to tell a little story... #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:22 PM EDT

Q4: Describe a situation in sports when you have had to tap into your resilience? #resiliencechat

msfresconyc Apr 3 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A3 I was a swimmer it teaches you to have a bit of GRIT and teamwork - #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A2 Challenge can be, in my case, being OK with being uncoordinated. Too bad I wasn't allowed to just encourage the others. #resiliencechat

msfresconyc Apr 3 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A4 as a HS athlete I plateaued as a junior makes senior year tough I had to be resilient and lead by example never giving up #resiliencechat

Bhsteeler Apr 3 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A4: went 0-2 on the first day of provincials, said to all we have to do is win one game. Won 5 straight got to final #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:26 PM EDT

Sometimes our resilience is tapped because we find sports so challenging but we still have to participate! #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A4 When I took fencing class in college, I had to rush from one end of campus to the other. My gym teacher was annoyed. #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:28 PM EDT

A4 There were two guys in our class. I was OK fencing with the young women, but this one guy was really big. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:28 PM EDT

Halftime at the NCAA finals... People should be flooding #resiliencechat shortly...

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:29 PM EDT

A4 Bc my gym teacher was annoyed with me being late all the time, she saw to it that I had to fence against him for our test #resiliencechat

Being on the "Friendly Feaks of Physics Team '70" , now that was where resilience was truly required. #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:30 PM EDT

A4 This guy had a terrible hangover. He was in such a bad mood that he was really aggressive towards me. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:31 PM EDT

Wow! That must not have been fun! #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:31 PM EDT

A4 He kept jabbing me and jabbing me with the tipped foil. Good thing I was wearing padding or I would have been injured. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:31 PM EDT

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:35 PM EDT

Yes, it is important to keep our eyes open to this. #resiliencechat

In reply to @MsNammour

What about the endeavor of those competing in the arenas of poverty, bias, quota, economic prejudice, hunger, homelessness? #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:36 PM EDT

A5: I have been very fortunate to have had good positive coaches in many sports. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:37 PM EDT

Point well taken... #resiliencechat

In reply to @SOC54

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:37 PM EDT

A5 Actually, when we were first dating, my husband tried to teach me how to cross country ski. I kind of liked it. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:38 PM EDT

That is still something I would like to do! I have done downhill but not cross county. #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:38 PM EDT

A5 And for our first anniversary, I sort of snorkeled. I had my head in the water and held onto the back of the boat. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:39 PM EDT

Moving right along tonight on #resiliencechat...

Bhsteeler Apr 3 @ 10:39 PM EDT

A5: have had many quality assistant and co coaches who were not echo chambers, willing to shine the unkind light when needed #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:40 PM EDT

I would never attempt downhill. I am sure I'd be badly injured. I'd be terrified. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:40 PM EDT

With cross country, even if you fall down it's relatively easy to get back up. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

SOC54 Apr 3 @ 10:40 PM EDT

Q6: What words/sayings have people said to you during your involvement w/sports that helped tap into your resilience? #resiliencechat

Bhsteeler Apr 3 @ 10:44 PM EDT

A6: this too shall pass when in a prolonged scoring slump 🏒🥅. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:45 PM EDT

Kind of like, "Shake it off..." #resiliencechat

In reply to @Bhsteeler

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:46 PM EDT

There is a good feeling when you know you have given it your best effort... #resiliencechat

Bhsteeler Apr 3 @ 10:46 PM EDT

A6 #2 Would you rather be a small cog in something special or a star in the vast field of mediocrity, life changing #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:47 PM EDT

A6 No words of encouragement. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:48 PM EDT

How sad! #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

MsNammour Apr 3 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A3: I did track and field in high school! My coach always told me if I just believe in myself I can overcome any obstacle. #resiliencechat

In reply to @MsNammour

Q7: What is the best thing to do when you feel you are about to lose your temper in sports? #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:50 PM EDT

Sorry @saratruebridge this #resiliencechat has made me feel sad. Almost all of the gym teachers I had were insensitive.

You should actually feel good because you rose above all that!!!!! #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Oh yeah. When I took Driver's Ed, my teacher was the swim coach. He took me aside and told me he was going to give me an F. #resiliencechat

MsNammour Apr 3 @ 10:51 PM EDT

I live by them!Whenever I feel like I cannot do something I always remind myself I can! #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:52 PM EDT

So I skipped the rest of the class and got an incomplete, instead. Hung out in the HS library. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:52 PM EDT

Really!! Something is really askew with all of this emphasis on sports in higher ed. It's big business! #resiliencechat

In reply to @SOC54

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:52 PM EDT

He told me I'd never be a good driver. My mom hired a private service for me. I've been driving ever since. #resiliencechat

A7: the one thing you can control is your r actions to tough breaks and disappointments never forget that #resiliencechat

You believed in yourself! #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:53 PM EDT

Yes, I did. But at the time it was all pretty devastating. Teachers are not supposed to put you down. #resiliencechat

For sure! #resiliencechat

Q8: What is the best thing you can do to support someone else who may be losing his/her temper during sports? #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:54 PM EDT

The only other teacher who put me down as much as those gym teachers did was this one HS Russian teacher I had. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:55 PM EDT

So sorry to hear that. Talk about tapping into one's resilience! #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

In reply to @saratruebridge

The driving instructor believed in me. He used to joke around with me. Put me at ease. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 3 @ 10:56 PM EDT

I had a supportive Driver's Ed teacher as well. He was very funny. #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 3 @ 10:56 PM EDT

And when I failed the driver's test the first time, he insisted we stick around. I passed the second time. #resiliencechat
