said Joel G. Chefitz, partner at McDermott Will & Emery (Phillips, G., 2015). But with that said, many current and former student athletes feel as if that’s not enough. In an interview with the St. Paul Pioneer Press (Minnesota) several professional football players of the Minnesota Vikings spoke on their stance of this subject. Wide receiver Joe Webb (Alabama-Birmingham): “should college players be paid? Yeah, I think so. They’re doing great things for the university. I mean, the university is…

A challenge that i’ve experienced and i thought i wouldn’t accomplish is my freshman year in wrestling. I was always a good athlete in every sport i played. I was damn near unstoppable. We just started the season for wrestling and i was the only person in the 135 weight class so i automatically was on varsity. When i figured out that i was on varsity i started lifting and practicing a lot more because i wanted to be the best. As the season progressed, i started winning a lot more matches at…

When children play tackle football they put their whole future on the line. Once a child puts on that helmet and pads and steps on the field they risk their future on playing that game, “Children are our greatest treasure, They are our future” (Mandela 2). Children who play football do not get as much emotional help as they would in 1990, teamwork is not something children of the modern generation gain either. Most children drop out of sports by the age of thirteen, the main reason for that is…

By the year 2050, many of the injuries that occur in sports will be reduced because “technology is going to greatly reduce the common injuries that happen in sports today (Harner).” Ankle sprains are the most common sports injury while, knee injuries are the fifth most common injuries in sports and the most prevalent involve the ACL and MCL. Many steps have been taken in the past 10 years to help combat these problems, such as the use of better stretching techniques, and an increase in…

At the Emergence of my football career, which started in middle school I was habitually told that I was good. I was always one of the biggest and strongest kid usually so going into my freshman year of high school I decided that I was going to try out for the junior varsity team and so did most of my friends. I remember the first day of tryouts I looked around me and even though I was a pretty big for a freshman, but everybody seemed colossal as well and strong if not stronger, quicker and…

Concussion awareness is so important when it comes to not having a really safe helmet it could be the one thing keeping you safe from a concussion. Making sure you are wearing good and safe helmet is so crucial, it could be the determining factor between having a concussion or just a small bump. When it comes to actually finding a good helmet don't just trust a helmet if it´s a well known brand. You might think this doesn't make much sense, people usually assume that if a brand is well known or…

Troy does not want Cory to play football for a living nor does he want him to play football in college, because of this Troy and Cory continuously get into arguments. For example, Troy needs Cory to help him build the fence around their house for Rose "Some people build fences to keep people out...and other people build fences to keep people in. Rose wants to hold on to you all. She loves you" (2.1.32), but because football practice takes up most of his time he never got around…

schools, so I had still yet to fully adjust to school and be comfortable. I was pretty socially awkward, too, but that’s another story. Right before school started, I noticed that Dunbar was having football tryouts. I had done rec basketball before, but never a “real” sport. Being a huge fan of watching football, I decided I should try and play it. I went to the tryouts in late summer, and I soon realized I might be in over…

It was a good day for a softball game, maybe a little warm but not too windy. We had traveled all the way to Akron to play one of the best teams in the state. Our hopes were not very high as we readied ourselves for the task we were about to perform. The JV game was skipped due to some missing players on our team, so the Akron JV team just scrimmaged each other. This kind of annoyed us because we just wanted to get the Varsity game over with. Eventually they finished up, and the field was…
