With each team having a minimum of six members, there are over 1500 women golfers competing at the highest level of collegiate golf. To date there has been a lack of studies done on women’s golf, in particular Division I Women’s golf at the championship level. There have been many studies on the mental side of sports.

A. Sport as a unifier Question 1 1. Yes I do believe that sporting events contribute to unifying a nation. When it comes to sport there is no right side to support or wrong side to support. Everyone is equal and everyone strives for the same goal-to win! Sport is a universal language. It has the potential to bring people together, no matter what their origin, background, religious beliefs or economic status and in doing so it also establishes a shared bond between people, helping to unify those…

The dark side of sports is nothing new to the modern society, in the 1960s drug testing for all sports was born. February 1968 at the Olympic Games, was the first time a drug testing was brought to light.

This will be what it’s going to take for me in order to be a sports management major and possibly one of the best in the business if I put forth all the hard work and effort I’m capable of doing. It is one of the harder majors to complete and pass, but if you're willing to do everything possible to make it work then by golly you should. This major may be stressful, overwhelming, and by no doubt a pain in the butt when the season kicks into full gear and starts rolling you get this feeling that I…

If I had to choose a sport I like I would go with football. Football is a little easier to understand rather than Basketball. I don’t really have a favorite football team I can get grasp the concept more. I understand the flags, the plays, and the terms for some of their doings. Though football games usually last around 3 hours, the ball is typically in play for only 11 minutes. So I don’t have to sit and watch a game for a long time. It sometimes is fun to watch because you can do almost…

1960’s, 91 sports stadiums have been built with public funding, 22 of them being fully paid for by the public (Elaine S. Povich).

Informal player-controlled sports differ from organized adult-controlled sports because of the way player-controlled sports allow people to learn how to organize games, cooperate with peers, form teams, develop rules, and take responsibility for following and enforcing rules. One downside of player-controlled sports is that they do not always learn the strategies of the sport and have trouble managing relationships with adult authority figures. Organized adult controlled sports keep children…
