Lacrosse began as a men’s game, but years later adopted by all people of all ages. Over hundreds of years and adaptations of various countries, lacrosse is the sport hundreds of thousands know and love. Lacrosse initially started as a game of manhood, becoming a warrior, and religion (Vennum). The indigenous sport can be recorded as far as the 1630’s. “Jean de Brébeuf, wrote about the game being played by the Huron Indians in 1636 and it was he who the named the game “lacrosse”” (Claydon para…

As a kid I had many aspirations. I wanted to be the best soccer player I could be. My parents gave up so much for me to follow my dreams. I never knew how much it cost to travel for my soccer tournaments and constant practices. It was just any other Sunday night with my family. I was sitting on my bed in my room talking to one of my friends on the phone. My brother was loudly playing on his Xbox. My parents were attempting to figure out what we were going to eat for dinner. Everything was…

Are Athletes Paid Too Much? Don't you wish to win a lot of money by playing your favorite sport but don't you Think that athletes are paid too much?I think that they are paid fair because they are good at what they do and did a lot of sacrifices to make it as a pro.

arose from middle school, bringing one surprise I would have never expected. That surprise was football. However, even before birth, dad had always wanted me to play soccer. This sport helped me push myself to be the best that I can and shaped my future in positive ways, but the only problem was my father's disappointment. Nevertheless, I fought through that challenge and succeeded in discovering that football was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Coming from a South American…

Growing up, I loved sports, watching, playing, and listening. It didn’t matter how or where, if there was a game on I was most likely watching it. As I grew even older I began to play the sports that I loved so much, football, basketball, and baseball. Being a three sport athlete my entire athletic career, I have seen the benefits that one sport brings to another. It also brings a certain level of sanity being a multi-sport athlete. Doing the same thing every day can become a grind and the brain…

The NCAA should not pay the athletes Michael Jordan one of the greatest basketball players of all time, was never paid when he played at North Carolina. Other greats like Larry Bird were never paid in college either. If all time greats like Bird and Jordan were never paid, why should the less talented get paid? Jordan and Bird are not the only famous college athletes that were not paid, there are many other greats that include: Magic Johnson, Christian Laettner, Bo Jackson, Lou Gehrig, and many…

Apparently, basketball is not the only thing Michael Jordon does well. For the second year in a row, he has been named to Forbes' "World Billionaires" list. With an estimated net wealth of $1.14 billion, Jordon jumped 200 spots from 2015 to be listed as the 1,577th richest man in the word. While many would want to attribute his wealth to his ownership of the NBA's Charlotte Hornets, the reality is that only $500 millions is derived from his 90% stake in the team. That leaves over a billion…

College basketball vs. pro basketball It is surprising that college basketball teams do not even play half as much as pro basketball teams in one season. In a regular season, NCAA basketball teams play about 30 games, compared to the pros that play 82 games a season. Although they get to play this many games, they still sometimes get play in playoff games and championship games at the end of the season. In college, they have an end of the season tournament to get to the final four in a one…

Growing up in a campus town, sports were always an interest of mine. Whether it was watching the Fighting Illini or competing in sports in my junior high and high school. It seemed that every weekend of my childhood was spent running, playing soccer, swimming, or a combination of the three. It seems only fitting that sports would play a major role in finding my passion. I swam a little when I was a child, but it wasn’t until I joined the swim team in high school that I really became a dedicated…

I have always enjoyed playing soccer growing up, therefore, I decided to join a soccer practice class to improve my skills. On my first day, I immediately noticed that the kids in the class were way better at soccer than me. The class taught special techniques that I had not even heard of and I began to think that I could never be as good as the other kids. Even though I had a hard time at first, I practiced by myself everyday and I eventually mastered every technique. Competition is extremely…
