brother played for the national Malaysian team. Growing up, of course I loved the beautiful game growing up. Today I will be talking about what makes soccer such a beautiful game. Many people despise soccer/football, kids get bullied in school because they like to play the game known as soccer/football, hopefully today I can change your view about soccer players and show how the game brings everyone together. I will be talking about three key points, Bullying, passion and the act of converging…
students have the opportunity of a lifetime to go to some of the best colleges in the country and still have a great educational career. Sadly, most of these college athletes do not use their scholarships to the full potential and only worry about football instead of classes as well. Athletes could also get an amazing degree with their full ride scholarship that most of them acquire (Sports and…
Nowadays, most sports fans are changing their way of expressing their support towards their teams. They spend time and money just to support the teams. This sports fanaticism occurred mostly due to globalization4, which influenced their behavior and spending patterns easily. Some instances to express their unconditional love towards their team include tattooing of their skin with the team flags, spraying of their body with the combination colours of their team flags to singing all the way and…
Coming into college I found I only had a passion for one thing, soccer. I have played soccer since I was four years old, so the opportunity to play collegiate soccer is the sole reason I decided to attend Concordia University Irvine, but little did I know this would be the best decision of my life thus far for a much different reason. Within my first semester I had changed my major three times. I applied to Concordia as a psychology major, then switched to business, and finally found my calling…
One: attend a university for at least 1 year or 4 years. Two: Have a major and a minor of academics that you chose. Three: Must have finish high school with football scholarship. Students athletes have to learn they have to work extra hard to reach the pros. Although, with endurance and lots of practice and training and hard work in football, basketball, soccer, swimming and volleyball colleges athletes might see their athletic dream come to past one…
Could you imagine making millions upon millions doing what you love? Well that’s what professional athletes do. They make more money than they know what to do with. Professional athletes should not be paid as much as they are. The people and fans going to watch them and support them, can hardly afford a ticket. Don’t forget about the famous ballpark hot dogs either, but those will cost you an arm and leg. Of course, you need a souvenir so people know you were really there. It will all start…
Playing extreme physical sports, like football, can cause major injury. This not only includes the body, but the brain as well. Brain injury is very common. Brain injury can lead to mental illness and physical illness. Brain injury is caused by concussions. Each time a football player gets hit they receive the equivalent of a thirteen pound bowling ball going twenty miles per hour at their body, and head.…
I would like to focus on the National Football League. The National Football League is a multi-billion dollar business that is projected to reach $13 Billion in 2016 (Forbes). Keeping that statistic in mind, the athletes are paid a substantial amount due to the success of the National Football League. As a result, the general population believes that professional athletes, football players, are grossly overpaid. The average salary in the National Football League is $1.9 million. Although that…
College athletes already receive free tuition, free books, first pick of classes, and a personal tutor. On average, it will cost a student about $30,000 to attend a private college, and $10,000 to attend a public college. If you are a college athlete, you enter college for free. Along with free tuition, college athletes also receive the first pick of class. Colleges desire that athletes get a sterling education along with their athletic adventure. Guidance counselors allow athletes to…
involved sports. I dated this girl for a while, and I go to the football games at her school, she was in band. But what I started noticing was the team never seemed to win, and I leaned that one reason was most would go out smoking weed before the game. Most of the main players in Dixies Greyhounds team hung around each other, and also smoked together which impacted the whole team. Also most of the band would meet up and hang out with the football team and smoke, mostly weed but also there…
