Discipline In Outcast United The Fugees

She had always been interested in soccer, even as a kid, however her grandmother constantly stopped her from playing because of her gender. With help from the YMCA, she formed three teams of differing age groups all having the same name of “the Fugees,” short for refugees. This team faced more challenges than Luma thought. From fighting for a place to play, to arranging convenient times and locations for all the boys, and even having to get all the significantly different boys from a dozen of different countries (Congo, Burundi, Sudan, Liberia, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.,) to play together as a

Unity is one of the main traits when it comes to teamwork, a team must unite with others in order to seek a way to help one another. Without unity, it could’ve been impossible to communicate with others, the team players in the “Fugees” needed to communicate with each other in order to score a goal. In the text, we learn that “Luma was trying to find a way to get the kids to play together,” she found ways for them to rely on each other. Once the trust created there they would easily become united. It helped the team and it allowed them to score in their

Black educators began to increase their involvement in political culture in Haiti through advocacy and education. American educators R.R. Moton and W.T.B Williams of the Tuskegee Institute sought more black involvement in U.S.-Haitian relations. Moton served as Booker T. Washington’s successor at the Tuskegee Institute. He felt a duty to continue Washington’s vision of industrial education for blacks and sought to extend the Tuskegee model into Haiti. He urged President Harding to include blacks on his “investigation body” declaring he could “suggest colored men who would in no way embarrass the administration.” Moton fell short; Harding did not appoint a black American to the body. However, Moton left an indelible mark on Washington.

The Tuskegee Airmen played a major part in the desegregation of the United States military along with President Truman. The United States military followed the norms of society with segregation and prejudice attitudes. The African American men that were in the Army Air Corp faced much hardships. These men of color were fighting for their right to serve their country with dignity and with pride. All men of color wanted to serve this country in battle but were relegated to menial jobs like cooks, latrine duty and grave-digging. These men were subjected to Jim Crow laws of the south. The Tuskegee men fought for their right to be looked upon as equals within the Air Corp, therefore because of these fights the United States military became a desegregated military.

Luma was a strict coach who had high standards for her players. She offered harsh practices, drills, and warm ups. She expected the best out of all her players all the time despite weather, health, and living conditions. “you guys need to wake up”... ‘concentrate”... “you shoot like that you're going to lose” Luma was dedicated to make sure her team was one of the most advanced, dedicated, focused, and collaborative that played. “If you're just a tough coach, though your not gunna get the loyalty of the game” “they have to know your gunna bat for them”

The satisfying feeling embrace my foot feels as I cross one lace over the next, pulling tighter as the leather of the cleat begins to hug my foot. Others around me are doing the same as the certain “crack” of the cleats hitting the barren concrete resonate through the cinderblock locker room. In unison, the other athletes around me head to the battlefield to take part in what is sure to be a war. Everyone on this team was playing for a different reason, whether united or not, everyone had their own motivation. Sabo believes in his essay, “Pigskin, Patriarchy, and Pain”, a child is learning to play for a piece of candy, boys are taught to endure pain to prove manliness, and that athletes are motivated to fight the coaches war is a completely false belief.

At some point in time, everybody has been told that they cannot do something. Some people do something about that and try to prove that person wrong and if they don’t succeed, they try again and keep trying until they do. Some don’t do a thing about it. This happened in the Crucible and happens in basketball all the time its persistence that can change all this.

According to Lecture No. 016, there is a pivotal point on fraternity within a democratic community. Having a sense of fraternity means maintaining social order and believing in fellow citizens. This concept of fraternity is built on mutual respect for one another (Lecture No. 016, p.10). An appreciation of this notion would enable citizens to empathize on the issues affecting their neighbors. A reality in the United States is the widening gap between the rich and the poor. A sense of fraternity within the government and with the people would push lawmakers to develop policies that would mutually benefit all citizens.

Imagine being a coach, a coach that’s hosting try-outs right this moment. You don’t want to hurt any child’s feelings, but you do need to do what's best for the team, you want people that will win together, not necessarily all the best players that never pass, that won’t get the win. At the end of the day you only want what's best for the team.

In the movie coach carter in the yearin 1999, “Coach Ken Carter returns to his old high school in Richmond, California, to get the basketball team into shape. With tough rules and academic discipline, he succeeds in setting the players on a winning streak. But when their grades start to suffer, Carter locks them out of the gym and shuts down their championship season. When he is criticized by the players and their parents, he sticks to his guns, determined that they excel in class as well as on the court.” At the end of the season, the coach says “l came to coach basketball players, and you became students. L came to teach boys, and you became men.” This team restored the meaning in the term ‘student-athlete’. So you’ve kicked a ball into a net, or hit a ball several hundred yards with a piece of wood, or threw a ball in a hoop…that isn’t that important if you aren’t the best type of person off the court. The biggest problem, in sports in geral, is that there is too much focus at score on the end of the game, and forgetting the importance of the effort used to score every single point on that board. There is great value in sacrificing yourself for something bigger than yourself, and unfortunately, sports have drifted from this meaning. A teams success is determined by the score at the

For a start, the word Tuskegee has acquired numerous negative connotations for its unethical/infamous research study. The study entailed, 600 black men; 200 undiagnosed “controlled group”; and 400 “subjects” assumed to be diagnosed with syphilis – a sexually transmitted disease encompassing life threating medical complications along with the notions of what society examined as deviant/stigmatizing. Moreover, as a widespread public health concern, treatment/research for syphilis was established for the participants.

Therefore, I agree with Mr. Wolff in part that younger players try to emulate their sports heroes, and that sports violence should not be condoned. It is the coaches’ responsibility in developing and managing his or her players. If a player or a team is in violation of a rule, then there should be consequences and it should be enforced, no matter what. It is all about setting examples, being consistent and giving the same amount of respect as you wish to get in

Not everybody earns rewards for their demanding work they truly deserve it for. Lets bring up Montrail’s situation and how his college was paid for; however, there are other students resembling his position that do not have this luck. This is not fair to others as a few are blessed with marvelous opportunities. How can one be awarded with immense opportunities to do more in life while the other might flip patties living in dept. Now let's not forget how much trouble the adolescent cause as one has been in prison before. They fight with teammates, coaches, and other players as in one of the games there were implications for a fight if the police had not intervened. In sports the grueling work one performs only matters when the talent is there, but unfortunately this team did not have enough talent to win because not all live to win. Working persistently never guarantees tremendous opportunities will arise as even the hardest worker won’t always secure the promotion and that's how life is it

How coaches react to conduct issues can create a positive learning opportunity for character development and an opportunity to apply all the tenets of SLT. It is beneficial to begin with fair and clearly defined guidelines and consequences which the team has had a hand in forming. But when issues arise, discuss the wrongness or rightness of an action, encourage moral reasoning and imagery before an action is taken, and present an altruistic concern for what is best for everyone involved. Next, allowing the student to explain what they thought they did wrong and why they broke the rule, be fair and impartial with the consequences, don’t make the issue a source of embarrassment, use something valued for the penalty, and do not hold a grudge (Smith & Smoll, 2012); instead, start each day with a clean slate. If you are fair with your athletes, they will model your behavior in

One of them being that a coach should have free hands and not have their hands in their pockets. I tend to have a habit of putting my hands in pocket because I feel comfortable doing so, but I know it shows the athlete and their parents that the coach is not fully engaged in coaching an athlete. Another one being that the coach interacts not only with the athlete but their parents as well. The coach has to learn how to not only act appropriately with their athletes but the the athlete’s parents as well. If they don’t it can cause the coach to have a poor reputation as well as losing
