What is the author’s purpose for placing this in the article? The author shared, Sportsmanship Off the Field Learning good sportsmanship means finding that the positive attitude learned on the field carries over into other areas of life. At school, for example, you're able to appreciate the contributions made by classmates and know how to work as part of a team to complete a project. You may enjoy more success at work as well, because a big part of learning good sportsmanship is learning to be respectful of others, including customers and coworkers.

“Unearthed”, narrated by Donovan (IQ: 112) As he describes the reasons for his being placed in detention (broadcasting his jokingly negative opinion about an important basketball game over his school’s PA system), Donovan also describes how his life and character are defined by an irresistible drive to be spontaneous, rebellious, and a little dangerous.

Pete Carroll ‘They’re not just football players, they’re Seahawks’

  

Article of the Week: 'They’re not just football players, they’re Seahawks’ Pete Carrol's Creation

Read the article: Pete Carroll’s creation: ‘They’re not just football players, they’re Seahawks’

From the text, Carroll has long created a feeling that his team is exceptional. His players don’t just think they are good. They think they are a unique, different breed than the rest of the NFL.

How does he do that? Include the word “grit” in your example.
Here are student samples:

Pete Carroll wants his team to be different than the other NFL teams by having grit. His team is different than the other teams they’re unique and they think they are also. Also Pete Carroll said, “It’s not beating the other person but being your best self.” And that is true. Jay

I think that Pete Carroll has a lot of grit because he has been through things just like in the article they are looking for someone that is unique, By the way that they think, play, or even just to look intimidating. Jacob
