Leading up to my sophomore year in high school, I was first introduced to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) at Kutztown University. After my experience at the Kutztown Sports Camp, my parents and I were approached about bringing a student led campus ministry to Kent County High School. There was no question about whether or not I wanted establish this organization at KCHS. The thought of being able to share God’s love and sovereignty with my peers like my huddle leader did with me made me extremely excited to get a FCA started at my school. Now through FCA, a non-denominational Christian sports ministry I am challenged to use the powerful medium of athletics to impact the world for Jesus Christ. From January of 2016, to present

    Journey As A Discourse Community Analysis

    Introduction Religious organizations, especially on college campuses, can sometimes be viewed by the public as intimidating due to the rules and stereotypes associated with religious groups. Journey, a Christian worshiping community at the College of Charleston, encourages an open-minded approach to spiritual growth throughout college by communicating with students in a way that welcomes all types of students without judgment. This organization is a discourse community, a group of people that share common goals and communicate about a particular topic, at the College of Charleston. To determine this, I compared Journey to the discourse community discussed by John Swales in his academic article. In his piece, Swales explains that to be a true…

    Kountze High School Case Study

    The Kountze High School permitting students to display blatantly religious banners which other students are then made to run through represents a violation of not only a violation of the establishment clause, but is a situation which is easily rectified without the threat of violating the students’ right to free speech. Where the precedents have been set for determining that the state has violated the establishment clause through Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602 (1971) and Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe, 530 U.S. 290 (2000), and precedents set through Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier, 484 U.S. 260 (1988) and Bethel School District v. Fraser, 478 U.S. 675 (1986) indicate that the Kountze High School is capable of avoiding the establishment…

    PIAA Case Study

    The PIAA’s Elephant in the Room The question of whether the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) should separate public and private schools into their own divisions has been a topic of discussion for years. As a product of 14 years of Catholic education, I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in athletics during my high school career. Many of the teams that we played were public school teams from small communities where athletics were almost more important than an education. Unfortunately, I have witnessed firsthand the animosity that has surfaced between public and private schools.…

    National Honor Society Business Analysis

    A leader and an individual are obligated to maintain certain characteristics in the best interest of a sports team, academic organization, or club. Every organization depends on its leaders and members to be successful. Being a participant in Christians in Action, dual credit courses at Angelina College, and National Honor Society, I notice the officers and members acting in agreement on behalf of the club or in support of their classes and grades. Christians in Action relies on guidance of a leader, especially since staff is prohibited from partaking in religious ensembles. Religion cannot be taught in public schools.…

    Support Group Observation

    In attempt to develop range in my observation of support groups, I once again found myself returning to an old stomping ground. Throughout my years in high school, I dedicated several hours a week to my local church in a growth group for high school girls. Although I currently experience mixed emotions with religion, I recalled how influential it was during my teenaged years to have such support, convincing me to return to observe a group to identify ways in why it was so helpful for me during difficult moments in my life. Luckily, my previous growth group leader was still leading groups and graciously accepted my request to be a guest that following week. Meeting once a week, the purpose of these groups was to discuss the Bible and life issues, but based on personal experience, these groups offered much more than a few life lectures.…

    A Career In Sports Psychology

    Sports psychologists study athletes to find out what motivates them to keep playing and pushing. In order to effectively treat an athlete, a sports psychologist must first be able to identify the issue that the athlete is having, whether it be a personal issue going on at home, a motivation issue, recovering from an injury, regardless of the severity. Essentially, sports psychology combines a passion for psychology and sports medicine to conduct research and apply their finding to treat the athlete mentally and emotionally. Just about every position available as a sports psychologist requires at least a master’s or doctorate degree in clinical psychology, sports psychology or counseling. Because this is such a new field of psychology, not very many schools offer a sports psychology program in Georgia.…
