Both of these aspects are important to sports and could be deciding factors in…

heading off to college is will you be able to make friends. By pure chance I was assigned to room with a freshman basketball player, we quickly became good friends. I also quickly became friends with the entire basketball team and now find myself living in a suite, apartment style housing located at the North end of campus, composed entirely of basketball players and myself. The basketball team has become my best friends and me one of there’s. People often confuse me for a member of the team,…

The Sparrow On Friday, November 18, 2016, my wife and I saw the 7:30 showing of The Sparrow, a play written by Chris Matthews, Jake Minton, and Nathan Allen. The play is about a high school girl (Emily) returning to her former school after a tragic accident in the second grade, in which she was the only survivor, forced her to move and attend a different school. Eventually it is revealed that Emily has super powers when she saves the popular cheerleader (Jenny) from falling from the school’s…

deserve a leader as a coach than someone coaching for the money. Another reason I coach the way I do is to teach individuals about the game of basketball and responsibilities that he or she will face outside of the gym. Lastly, I want to share the knowledge and wonderful moments with great athletes, individuals, and teammates that learned the game of basketball from me. Although coaching is more than a skill, responsibility, and knowledge it’s a process of how one can transform the lives of…

2014, p. 476). If a school is going to use vans to transport their athletes, they must make sure those vans are properly maintained and certified to operate. In 2008, a 15-passenger van crashed killing seven members of the Bathurst High School basketball team, and upon investigation, it was found that the van had several mechanical issues and would not have passed a motor vehicle inspection (Wolohan, 2008). In both cases, it seems that the administration should have done a better job of…

We, the university of St. George basketball team staff need a change. We need to get rid of the players that plague our program, in order to recruit quality athletes that will affect our program ethically more than athletically. We have dominated division IV basketball for many years, however overachieving athletes that underachieve academically, ethically and morally have been the reason for our athletic success. Our players have been punks. That is not what this outstanding university was…

Pro athletes are the highest paid occupation in the world. For What? For them to run down a field score and touch down or skate down the ice to score a goal, or even stand at base hitting a ball out the park. All though things are what we as kids do growing up, so why do they get paid so much as adults to do things we all did growing up? Athletes get paid too much for what they do, no matter if they play the whole game or are injured; they still get paid the same amount of money. It’s just a…

everyone was extremely hyped. When the other team took the court to warm up we had the shock of our lives. We had heard that they had gotten a player back from injury but we had no idea that it was a six foot tall center! We were all quivereing in our basketball shoes. But our coach timely called us all together and told us these very words. "These guys might be bigger than you but you have to be smarter." After he said that we got a break and we ran on to the floor."One, two, three!" the…

Hockey in the desert Ice hockey is a sport almost unheard of in the city of Tucson, Arizona. There is the local college team, the Wildcats, but aside from that you have to drive through the middle of a scorching desert to get to the nearest city with an ice rink. And then of course there is me. Hockey is a big hobby of mine, and sadly I was unfortunate enough to grow up in the middle of a desert where hockey is not a big part of the culture. But that wasn’t going to stop me. My goal was to get…
