Professional development

Sports in the 1980s were characterized by several of the best athletes known in football and basketball and the growth of interest in ice hockey. Females and the disabled revolutionize the sports industry, proving that they can perform equally as well as ordinary male athletes and even outperform them. Leisure activities often included those that were developed the decade before but did not reach peak popularity until the ‘80s. One of the most admired athletes from the 1980s is Joe Montana, a…

is each day more involved in our daily lives. Hence, it is important that engineers are able to make the correct decisions on which is the right way to act. Engineers can base themselves in the several norms and rules that are outlined by their professional organizations. However, there is a finite amount of things that can be stated as rules. For this reason, and as the Good Engineer reading proposes, it is important that engineers posses virtues that would enable them to distinguish what is…

Professional athletes, in my opinion, are overpaid to play a sport for a living. The pay varies depending on which sports an athlete participate in and their compensation might also vary based on their performance. They can earn a lot of money comparing to an individual with a real meaningful career who attended school and earned a degree. Regular occupation requires a certification, degree, or schooling which is not necessary for the sports industry. Athletes are typically under a contract and…

Why Have I Chosen This Career? During my lifetime, I have wanted to do many things. When I was little, I wanted to be a policeman, a fireman, and even a superhero. I wanted the same things that other children wanted, but the bottom line is that I wanted to help people. Even now as a young adult about to enter the real world, I still want to help people. I just decided to help people in a different way. I have decided to become a diesel mechanic. What Does A Diesel Mechanic Do? Diesel…

Yorker, points out that anabolic steroids were not banned until they had been used for over a decade and another PED, the human growth hormone still stumps drug testers to this day. It can take years for testers to just uncover the newest stimulants professional athletes are consuming. Advocates for this perspective believe it is pointless to attempt enforcing a ban because of previous failures in identifying new PED's. These defeats cause backers of this view to reason we will always be a step…

Wrestling is a sport most people do so they can do better in other sports. They want to do good in wrestling to show their coaches that they are very strong athletes physically and mentally. Most people tend to not know the real ways of becoming good. Wrestlers have so many ways to becoming great, and they have to go on the bumpier road to get better, not the smooth one. Skip Practices One of the steps to becoming a wrestler is that practice does not make people better and, definitely, won’t…

Everyone should have a chance to participate in sports or activities that they want to pursue. Nobody should be told they cannot do something just because they have problems unlike others, or a certain disability. The common idea of sports may be Friday night football games for a local high school team, or a tee ball game with young, elementary school children. Most people do not realize that there are a wide variety of different sports and activities that everyone can enjoy. People who might…

of one’s home. What most people do not realize is racism and discrimination have a deeply rooted connection to sports. One of the major sports events shaped around racism was the integration of the first African American, Jackie Robinson, into professional baseball. Until 1947, major league baseball was a white man’s game and blacks had to play in separated “negro leagues.”…

Once you’ve wrestled everything else in life is easy. Wrestling starts around October so by that time anyone who wrestles is settled and comfortable in terms of the classroom while starting to get focused on the upcoming season. That comfortability I was gaining would soon disappear for a long time. I learned this my freshmen year after I joined the small 13 man team at my high school that pretty much no one had even heard of. Wrestling interested me although I had no expectations of success…
