    This class on Race, Gender, Class in Sports has made me think of things that I never even thought of before. I played sports, but never thought anything more than I played the sport and I enjoyed it, I never thought of how we got to this sport I play, or how I as a woman am able to play sports, or even how the game came to be.

In sports we will always be trying to strive and improve sports through race, gender and class along with trying to rely on performance to guide us in the…

I believe Coach Boone’s coaching was the solution to this problem. His coaching style was to the point, intense, and equal towards all players.…
