The script would be highly specific and directed with a purpose of trying to block out any thoughts about the other schools through the use of vivid language, famous quotes, song lyrics, and specific goals and achievements for each team member.

This emphasis on smaller task goals will foster an increased sense of motivation and help each client to track their progress daily in terms of their own “goal checklist”. I would use the task goal orientation to set goals so that each client can focus on being better than they were the previous session. This helps would help clients to track their progress, and allow them to see their own progression in comparison to their previous performances. If they believe that they are in competition with only themselves, then they will be less likely to compare their progress to others around them, thereby reducing feelings of dissatisfaction with their own personal fitness…

    I interviewed head coach of the North Scott Trap Team, Dave Fredericksen. My father happens to be the head coach, however, his position in the organization is nothing more than a coincidence; I would be interviewing the coach of the team regardless of who the coach was at the time.

    One can not play tennis on their own so I would invite the girls I was close with on the tennis team to go to a park with a tennis could to play. Whenever we regularly started meeting up we began asking the other girls on the team and soon we had everyone show up to practice even when we did not have an official scheduled practices. During these unofficial practices, we would often be lost on what we should do or how we should we start the practice, this is when I assumed the role of a leader. I would suggest doing the stretches first and those who failed to agree, I would reason with them telling them how important stretching is for the body before playing a sport. I did not want anyone to injure themselves just because they didn’t do a simple thing like stretching.…

    Stuart Hall (1997) wrote about the impact of classifying and stereotyping various forms of difference in society. According to Hall (1997), race, like many other forms of difference, is socially constructed (p. 225). As such, individuals’ racial identity varies over place and time (p. 239). Hall (1997) suggests that stereotypes are used to maintain the boundaries between different groups of people because racial boundaries have proven to be fallible (p. 258). In his text, The Spectacle of the ‘Other’, Hall (1997) offers three different cultural strategies that can be used to combat stereotyping (p. 270).…
