Scouting

Throughout my entire life, I have played basketball. Thinking back on it today, this is basically my first year I haven’t played basketball. Although I know this sport like I know how to tie my shoes, I’ve never really thought of it in any other way besides an activity that I love. My many years of playing influenced my decision to use this topic for my assignment, but also the big impact it had throughout the rest of my family. My grandpa had coached college basketball, and my mom played…

first? You would think that it would be their mixtape that shows just how much skill they possess, right? Wrong. The correct answer would be their social media profile. This information will give most organizations a great idea of just who they are scouting based on what they share on social media sites as well as their interactions with others on outlets such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or other commonly used social media apps. Not only does social media create an image for an athlete and…

The Skill of Anticipation I have been playing tennis since I was five years old, and having a good anticipation skill helped me to succeed. Since childhood, I have been playing defensive style tennis while staying mostly on the baseline. In order to succeed and win matches, I had to run a lot during the competition and play many long rally points. Due to my playing style, I needed to conserve energy during the tennis tournaments to perform at the best possible level. Because of my playing style…

Since I was a little girl, I have wanted to be a part of the military. I was fascinated with the sacrifice that was continuously given by soldiers, the call to a cause bigger than themselves, the hard work, the loyalty, and the risk and the bond soldiers shared with each other. Unfortunately, there have been less women than men enlisting in the military; if they do work for the military, they usually become army doctors, nurses, interpreters, and so on instead of field operatives. Some say women…

black’s ability to obtain information of military value and treated them as if they were nothing. “That quality of invisibility, which Harriet Tubman knew so well, became the basis for using ex-slaves as spies for the Union”. In 1863, Tubman planned a scouting service and persuaded former black slave to join her as spies in the war, despite the risk of getting killed. Many were won over by Tubman and assisted her in trips into Confederate territory to obtain strategic information of their…

a team without a conventional point guard, but has a dominant ball-handling big man, which, in most cases the introduction and the eventual popularization of the 3-pt line (which guards use most often) has caused a sudden boost in the recruiting, scouting, and training of point guards which put big men into a lesser role in the offense. Tara VanDerveer no longer runs the Triangle Offense at Stanford because her team’s strength is currently guards, which is against the fundamentals of the…

Growing up with my cousins in Talent, our parents would always tell us to be careful around cops, because you would not know what would happen around them.The thing that stuck with me was that they never told us to be nice to a cop; they taught us to be scared of what can happen if you don't listen to a cop. During that time the majority of the cops were white; they fail to know the struggle of being a minority. So every time my cousins and I would see a cop we would run because of the fear of a…

Whenever there is a major jump in technology, a strategic revolution often matches it. The industrial revolution and steam power completely swung the strategic advantage from the offensive to the defensive, evidenced through the Civil War. In the context of the Navy, one of the latest technological innovations is aviation; it was being integrated into the Navy before World War I, but wasn’t advanced enough to be of any major strategic use until World War II. For this reason, the strategic and…
