What came next after Coach addressed me was what I could have only dreamed of. Hard work and determination pay off, because eventually I earned the position of starting catcher. It was the first practice of the new…

five categories doesn’t mean he’s the better player. The author then goes on to say “The pedestal that Jordan stands on is not quite as high as some people would like to believe.” He then mentions “It’s amazing what good marketing could do, as Nike, Gatorade, and the NBA marketing machines built Jordan up to unimaginable heights.” The author thinks that the better player is Michael Jordan but if anyone was to catch up to him Kobe Bryant would be the one.

calling them iPads, but now it seems like the deal has worked well in both businesses favor (Gaines 2014). In 2011, the NFL extended their deal with Pepsi for another 11 years. The deal was worth 2.3 billion dollars and is the reason you see all the Gatorade coolers on both sides of the field (Altman 2015). As far as individual team sponsorships go, the Dallas Cowboys pull in the most money in this category. In 2012 alone, Jerry Jones’ Cowboys raked in $100 million in sponsorship deals…

I was there for one reason, and one reason only; to watch and support my two brothers and their passion of riding dirtbikes. This was a grueling activity that I didn’t particularly enjoy, and I would never enjoy it as long as I lived, because of the terrible event that unfolded on this treacherous day. The air was blisteringly hot at almost ninety-eight degrees, and even the wind blew hot on my skin. I was…
