forget. Sports in society were focused on men only and now women are starting to play a prominent role. Not only are sports important in everyday life, but also sports are a method to sustain society through economic gains. Sports such as football, basketball and baseball have a huge impact on society as the monies made from these competitive events are used to enhance the local economy and such as the construction of AT&T Park. Can improve neighborhoods by bringing big chain businesses and…

wrong at the time I was doing it. So I’ll tell everybody about the day I found out I was good enough, and what I done to better myself. It was back in the 9th grade. When it was time for basketball tryouts, and I knew students from different middle schools was going to try out too. I learned how to play basketball from playing with my big cousin and his friends. That day everyone was talking about who would make the team and how hard it was going to…

PAYING COLLEGIATE STUDENT ATHLETES 5 football and men’s basketball players would leave college early to play professionally. As Senator Chambers later noted in his speech, many collegiate athletes come from low income backgrounds and athletics is their way out. One of the biggest reasons student athletes leave for the NBA or NFL before their eligibility expires is because they will be paid. By providing them with financial assistance, even if it is set aside in a trust fund, it may make a…

Visualize being a kid again, just getting out of school, and starting to walk home. The walk home might be a little different for other young kids, especially those living in poverty. One out of five kid’s lives in poverty and one out of five kids won’t graduate on time. For many of these kids, not graduating on time or dropping out of school is inevitable. Non-profit organizations are providing a safe place for young kids to learn and grow, in particular one foundation. Americans should support…

I have a distinctive level of connection with three different sports teams such as the Florida State Seminoles football team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The level of connection I have with the Seminoles football team is an attraction because it is my favorite team. With respect to hedonism, I am attracted to the Seminoles football team because it is fun to watch games, entertaining, and fun to talk about the team. I also get excited from watching several players on…

In sixth hour crew class, the class is playing tchoukball and it's the most intensified game of tchoukball I have ever seen. It was the red team versus the green team, and when the game started the red team won the tip off. Tyler yelled “Cole I’m open!”, then Cole passed it to Tyler and he flung it on the rebounder like Aaron Rodgers throwing a football to Jordy Nelson, and the ball launched off the rebounder. The green team couldn’t catch it so the red team scored a point. Cole and Nick were…

When I was eleven years old, my volleyball journey began. I sat in the gym with my bubble- kneepads and old tennis shoes. Lacking in the fashion area, I sat in the gym with my shoes and kneepads. As my years of volleyball went on, it was time for me to hang up my nasty bubble-kneepads and tennis shoes and buy big-girl kneepads and volleyball shoes. As my love for volleyball grew throughout the years, it taught me strengths, weaknesses, and talents I never knew I had. Seventh and eighth grade…

Playing sports has always been my passion, I love everything about it. But one thing has always stood in my way; my size. I’ve never been the tallest person in a crowd and most of the time I am one of the shortest people in the room. I never imagined that this could hold me back from something that I love so much and could possibly make my dreams of playing collegiate softball unreachable. I first began playing softball at only five years old. I began playing locally but soon enough moved…

like bumper pool, foosball, and carpet ball. I got schooled in carpet ball a few times, and I won a few and lost a few of bumper pool. The some kid asked seth and I to go to the gym. We went to the gym and he and some other kids wanted to play basketball, so we play and I sucked at it. So then they changed to playing some type of game where you had to throw a ball and when you get hit you have to sit down. When we were playing I got the ball and threw it as hard as I could at Seth and…

Giovanni showed up and gave us a small speech that I will never forget, for the first time he didn't complain or scream as usually, actually he made us feel like a family. After the speech, our team went to the court and started the warm up exercises. As the match initiated, people started cheering both teams, you could feel the pressure in the air. I felt like my heart was getting out of my chest as we scored each point. After 40 minutes of breathtaking match…
