Athlete-Centered Philosophy

Secondly,What are the social effects of sports on young children playing team sports? Manny people wonder.Although team sports can provide fun-filled memories that can last children a lifetime, they are also a teaching tool for the development of important social skills. Sports can teach children to be competitive, yet fair and honest. Learning to combine competitiveness with honesty will help children grow meaningful relationships as they progress through school, as well as through their adult life.

Thesis: College athletes deserve be paid because they invest a lot of time, work and take significant risks but do not receive enough of the money they generate for the NCAA and schools.

The philosophy I carry for my studies in athletic training incorporates a few fundamental areas, which I believe are of importance to the athletic training program and will continue on into the labor force after my education has been completed. These elements include: the profession itself, to include advocating for patients and professional causes related to athletic training. The functional aspects of my educational path. A continued honorable conduct while working with clients as well as outside in the general public, and a professional rapport with not only athletes, but my colleagues as well. I incorporate these several areas in my professional philosophy because, I understand they embody points of view which aid in developing the manner in which I carry myself and the behavior I present to the community.

Sport is incredible in how it can increase confidence, self-esteem, and overall health while teaching children a new ability of working with others as a team, taking direction, and doing things they never thought possible. I want to be able to show what sports is capable of teaching and the rewards that come along with it. The concept of team reveals what is achievable through solidarity that would be impossible in solitary.

Athletes have been protesting in ways which are frowned upon by the government. Athletes should use their fame to promote a political agenda because everybody has an opinion.In the article, “The athlete as agent of change,” by Lonnie Bunch and David Skorton, athletes use their fame to promote a political agenda. In this article, Bunch and Skorton list the ways that athletes silently protest in sports. Ways that listed include athletes turning their back on the flag, kneeling during the national anthem, and refusing to salute the flag. These actions show that the athlete may be opposing America and by doing this, their opinion is shown. Athletes’ opinions are very powerful because athletes are often mentors or inspirations to their fans which

Sports are a popular pastime among all ages and types of people. People not only participate in them for fun, but also for money, physical fitness, rush of competition, and for many other personal reasons. Playing sports is especially common among young people in schools. Athletics are great and enjoyable for many reasons, but there can be a point where sports participation can go too far and become negative for children and adults. Sports specialization for young people is an increasing trend that results in sports having a negative impact on individuals and society.

There are a lot of aspects that should be taken into account when determining what makes an athlete successful. One could argue that natural ability is one of the determining factors which leads to success. For example, if an athlete has dreams of playing in the NBA then height makes a difference. There aren’t many successful players in the league under six feet tall. One could argue that level of competition plays a role in the development of an athlete. This could include the skill level of the opponent or outside factors such as playing conditions or game circumstances. These types of arguments play a role in athlete success, but will not be used in this paper because they are factors that are out of the athlete’s control. This paper

However, when we talk about youth sports, our main concern is with providing players with a positive, character building experience. Winning is not the only acceptable outcome for youth players, and coaches need to understand this principle. “With a winning philosophy young athletes may lose out on opportunities to develop their skills, to enjoy participation, and to grow socially and emotionally. Well informed coaches realize that success is not equivalent to winning games, and failure is not the same as losing.” (Enhancing Coach-Parent Relationships in Youth Sports, 15)

John R. Wooden was an American basketball player coach and teacher. He taught philosophy which highly influenced his coaching style. Wooden created the Pyramid of Success, which took him seventeen years to fully construct. The pyramid works as building blocks, each row acts as a foundation for the one above it. Wooden’s pyramid of success consists of: industriousness, friendship, loyalty, cooperation and enthusiasm in the first row. The second row has: self-control, alertness, initiative, and intentness. Following this in the next row is: condition, skill, and team spirit. The two blocks above that row are: poise and confidence and the top block of the pyramid is competitive greatness. In order to fulfill the top block you must complete the steps below it (Perez, 2014).

Therefore, you must start with the basics, teach them the importance of teamwork, help them build relationships and make basketball a fun experience. Competition is not really an issue with this age group, they will be more interested in having fun than achieving top results. It's all about the experience. With ages 7-9, you will probably have players who want to master the basics of the sport. Especially if they've played before, by now they will probably expect feedback on their progress, both from the coach and from their parents.

Are Anabolic Steroids Important Of Body Building? I will argue no that anabolic steroids are not important for body building because they have great negative effects. The use of anabolic steroids has been discouraged over the years because of their side effects, and they are against the philosophy of sports. The steroids are medicine and protein supplements that aid in the body building. I hugely oppose the notion that anabolic steroid are imperative in building the body. The studies clearly reveal that the side’s effects (demerits) of the anabolic steroid outweigh the benefits (merits). The essay will debate about the topic mentioned over. The essay will discuss the demerits and merits of anabolic

This book touches on a stern coach who wants more than basketball from his team. He wants educated men with a purpose in life. Coach Carter approach is hard but fair he expects his team to stand tall on life choices and holds everyone accountable for their actions. When he begins teaching the variety basketball team at Richmond high he was

In the article, “The Athlete as Agent of Change,” the author states that athletes use the national anthem to protest by turning their backs on the American flag, so they can influence the people. People responded negatively when this happened and angrily taunted the athletes who were involved with the protest. I believe that because our American society has the right to protest and freedom of speech, athletes can show how they feel and influence the public to see their point of view, but I do not agree with dishonoring our flag. Thousands of men have fought and will continue to fight, so that our country can have freedom and safety, so if they dishonor the flag then they are dishonoring those men who have died for us. I believe that it is disrespectful,

Children’s hopes and dreams are embedded in their hearts and minds from when they are in elementary school. Some may mention they want to be doctors, nurses, and artists while others answer “I want to be famous.” There is no bigger dream among childhood sports than making it into a professional league. Those children feel a little bit of exposure will be enough to open the door and answer their prayers of stardom. The instructions are well known even among some of the youngest of players. They just need to play well in high school, then accept an athletic scholarship to a university, and excel in that sport while getting airtime on television. More often than not, the kids do not value their education, and they do just enough

Winning is every coach or player's main goal in any sport or in life. Although winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing. Coaches spend countless hours preparing for a big game and this builds up the fear of a loss. No one wants to lose after you dedicate hours upon hours on the court and in the books scouting and preparing for a game. Therefore, winning becomes the only option for you and your team. Throughout this persuasive essay, dedication, toughness, and ** will explain why “winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.”
