Before the time of Hoenn, their were many beautiful Regions. Hoenn was just a few of the smaller ones that were discovered. In that time, Hoenn would be known as Island of Islands as it was surrounded by the crisp seas and meadows of the wild. Many Pokemon were found their too. Most Pokemon unfamiliar to most trainers. As every region, Hoenn was to start a Pokemon League, to which many would partake and see who is the best. They were usually given the starters of Kanto, since as anyone knows is…

Sport and Recreation Management is a program offered by many schools around the country. The idea of individuals being involved in the sports environment can date back to the ancient Greek era where the Olympics were first introduced. Through the years, the perception on the components required to be involved in sports management changed drastically. The careers in this field of interest have changed abundantly in the last 10 to 50 years. From a broad perspective, sports management seems to…

Volleyball is a big supporter of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Every year my school does a game called ‘Dig Pink.’ I play volleyball myself, and have always looked forward to this game. That year and every year from now on, Dig Pink will hit a little closer to home at Blackstone Valley Tech. During practice one day at the beginning of the season I could tell something was wrong with my coach. She was not really acting herself and neither was the assistant coach. They were not acting as funny…

be good for them to get more sports in the pool because they can get fit. This would be good because when they get fit they can try out for other sports. This would also be good because if they chose to do swimming then they can possibly go to the olympics. This would be good because then when the kids go to school they would not get made fun of because they can be one team and get in no fights and things like that. As it states in the text “Kids need to do sports so they can be pro's”…

I believe strongly believe that the use of performance enhancing drugs in sports must be banned. The use of drugs in sport is a despicable act that should not be taken lightly. There are many types of drugs that can cause serious damage to the athlete, unfairly winning and destroying their reputation. Drugs used to enhance athlete’s abilities are a disgrace to the world of sport and should be banned evermore. Many different types of performance enhancing drugs are manufactured such as…

The Effects of Doing Gymnastics Did you know that there is a bunch of different things that happen to people that do gymnastics? When it comes to elite artistic gymnastics, most female competitors begin the sport before the age of five and train around 40 hours a week, pushing their strength and flexibility to the limits, at times defying anatomy and biology to stick their routines. There are many benefits to doing gymnastics at a young age, like how learning gymnastics enhances the…

Junior Rider: Lauren Kinley is a fantastic rider that I admire for her sportsmanship. In the past year, she has had one horse go lame (at Finals), one get sent to Michigan State, and one pass away. She has had everything go wrong that possibly could go wrong, and she keeps the most level head about it. She never pulls the sympathy card and never allows herself to be seen as a victim. Anything bad that happens to her is used as an excuse to get better at something, and unfortunately, she…

Performance enhancing drugs have been an issue in sports since 1928 when Thomas Hicks won the marathon at the Olympic Games after being injected with strychnine. Plenty of athletes have been caught using these substances over the years and sporting officials have been trying desperately to stop athletes from using performance enhancing drugs by introducing all sorts of bans and penalties. The most famous incident to take place in recent times is that of Lance Armstrong. Armstrong was…

Who’s fault was it that the Titanic sank? “Large patches of ice and many Icebergs.” says a warning from the radio of the Caronia. There were many of these warnings. Some were ignored and some not taken seriously. I find the radio workers and the lookouts guilty of the sinking of the Titanic. But why was if their fault? Here is why these people’s actions caused the sinking of the Titanic. The radio workers, almost as soon as the ship left for sea, were getting warnings of floating ice and…
