Athletic trainer

Scenario One I would suggest the new athletic director to inform the booster on how money is allocated within the athletic budget which is essential for operating all programs. I would inquire what his reason for not giving money to the general athletic fund and softball team. I would emphasize the importance of making a contribution where each student-athlete will have the opportunity to participate without the worrisome of financial burden. Depending on financial situations, I believe all…

1. Although the role of genes plays a factor in athletic performance, the process of translating it to the actual playing field is a lot more difficult and important. For this reason, I do believe that sports are fair. In Farrey’s argument, he points out studies that showed that genes appear to deserve credit for about two-thirds of vertical leaping ability and that balance and flexibility are at least somewhat inherited. However, most of becoming a great performer in sport is all in the head…

One of America’s favorite past times just got a little better in the last few years. Ever since the exclusion of the BCS, or the Bowl Championship Series, college football established a playoff championship series to decide a national champion. This new and interesting championship method started in 2014, with top four teams in the nation, Alabama, Oregon, Florida State, and Ohio State, squaring off in the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl to determine who would challenge each other in the National…

A football player makes, at minimum $435,000 a year. That is 99,089 Chicken McNugget Happy Meals from McDonalds. In fact, many professional athletes get paid millions of dollars. Some people think that these athletes are overpaid. Others disagree and sy they deserve the money they receive. People who say they are overpaid argue that nurses and police, people who save lives, don’t get paid that much. Those who disagree say athletes go through grueling practices and games to make their fans, us,…

I feel that they are playing a game for the entertainment of them and the audience and should not be paid more than the people who protect or have protected our country. Scholarships are enough to pay for college especially when you sign up for as many as you can and get the grants you are eligible for. Generally any job…

But schools are only paying the football teams and the men's basketball team. What about all of the other teams? Therefor, college football players should not get paid. College football players don’t need to be paid. There are around 85 players on a football team, and each player could see a paycheck of about $250,000 a year. College football…
