athletic departments, but it was because there was a separation of men and women’s athletics. Women were in charge of the female sports and men were in charge of the male sports teams. In Bill Littlefield’s article (2015) he says after Title IX, the two departments were combined resulting in the women losing their jobs over the men. The process of hiring females in sport leadership positions is constantly evolving, and the most important part out of the whole process is where/how far the program…

This will happen because they have more practices, people are more driven to win so they may get more physical and hurt themselves or someone else, and finally they could get many minor injuries that could get worse as they go because they…

Life can be a run or a race, and there is no wrong way to run it. Some people need to race to hear the cheering, see the crowd, and fill the demand for competition. They need to struggle and fight for their life, for if they don’t try win what was the point of running in the first place.

In effect, this would mean that the teams will not be able to have the best players…
