The Nfl 60 Challenge

Improved Essays
The semester is just beginning and adjusting to Public Health 181 has given me an insight on the goals and challenges for the NFL 60 challenge. My group members and I are currently coming up with ideas on what kind of physical activities we can utilize for children to have entertaining sessions. We have not been able to plan properly on the research project itself because our point of contact has not spoken to us yet, but we exchanged numbers so we can all keep each other updated if anything new arises. While my group members and I are waiting for our point of contact, I have been researching more thoroughly on what the NFL 60 challenge is and found a goal that I want to accomplish once I start implementing this research project.
The NFL 60 challenge is to provide 60 minutes of physical

The NFL 60 challenge must be implemented successfully if children are engaged in the physical activity that are instructed to them. Since the physical activity they are performing is amusing, they will continue their physical activity even after the NFL 60 challenge has ended. If children are more likely to continue their physical activity, they are more likely to join extracurricular activities which will lower issues of physical, mental, and social environment (Corbin, 2014, pg. 6).
With the goals I have after researching about the NFL 60 challenge, there will be two groups. One group is the experimental group that will focus on the physical activity while the control group will just have lectures on encouraging youth to go to college. After the research project has been implemented and completed, then there will be two different outcomes that will show which one had the best results to the goals and objectives that I have for the NFL 60 challenge that me and my group members will

    There are many in the grassroots community that feel the NFL has not created a public affairs campaign concerning the safety of playing football at all levels. Increased player safety has been a priority of the evolution of the game and the league is proud to say that the game is safer and more exciting than ever. The NFL is actively attempting to protect football participants by funding the Heads Up Football Program, enforcing safety - related rule changes at the professional level, implementing a new concussion protocol, and establishing the Player Care Foundation, that is dedicated to helping retired NFL players. In 2014, the NFL Foundation rewarded USA Football with a five – year, $45 million grant to help expand the Heads Up Football Program that teaches safe tackling to youth football players.

    Throughout my four years of high school, the seaside community of Narragansett, Rhode Island, has encouraged and nurtured the growth of its youthful inhabitants as students and individuals. The supportive environment and abundant opportunities available for students to pursue their passions and help others consequently benefits the community as a whole. As an athlete, and more specifically, a runner, I have aspired to motivate and encourage young athletes to enjoy the fun and friendships that emerge from being a part of a sports team. During the summer, I volunteered at the Summer Youth Track Series at Narragansett High School. Eager smiles painted the faces of the joyous young runners lining up in heats, ready to run as fast as they can in the 100 meter sprint, throw as far as they can in the turbo javelin, and jump as far as they can in the long jump.…

    Summary My research project topic looked into the effects of dangerous tackles in high-school rugby league, furthermore, it assessed how these tackles can either be banned or retraining take place within a school in order to reduce the risk of injury caused by dangerous tackling.

    In discussion of youth sports and the benefits associated, one controversial issue has been improving the developmental benefits while decreasing the risks associated. On the one hand, research provides evidence surrounding the numerous developmental benefits associated with youth sports participation.
