Interview With An Individual Who Works For Malmbergets Aif

In the article “Playing With Pain” by Michelle Crouch, published by Scholastic SCOPE, in December 2015 and January 2016, is about how when you specialize in one sport, you put a lot pressure on yourself to do well and be the best you can be, but some consequences can be life changing.

Sport’s are an aspect of life that affect societies across the globe. Athletics affect everyone's life, whether that be playing the sport, watching games, or hearing about a sporting event. There is a big difference between playing an individual sport and players relying on their own athletic abilities versus a team sport when members of the team rely on their teammates to complete each individual's specific responsibility to reach the team's goal. Team sports bring people together in countless ways, and they teach many life skills for the athletes that participate in them. Some of these skills include communication, teamwork, discipline, work ethic, dedication, leadership, and numerous more that will help them in their personal and work

The summary of Chapter 6 is that community sports and youth in North America are somewhat offered a variety of settings such as private sports clubs, schools, and recreation center across the globe. There are several types of sport structures that create many management challenges including conflicts over the goal of an organization, accessibility, the management of volunteers, and financial likelihood. Even though the sport participation continues to grow both in the U.S. and Canada, the opportunities are widely based on topography and gender meaning places like rural areas or gender types such as females are still lagging in access to the sport participation. Families, societies, and individuals benefit from physical activity and sport. The

The path that lead me to choose Sport Management as a major began at a young age where I demonstrated my admiration for sports. I have been participating in sports my entire life and still do to this day. Unfortunately, my time as an athlete will eventually come to an end and I will need to find an occupation that I have passion for. I asked myself the question, “Why not continue my passion in sports”? Being able to work with sports, but not directly in the spotlight, as an athlete is something I would love to be apart of.

Sports was a part of my life growing up - whether it was attending games with my family to support the Huskies at Rentschler Field or Wolfpack hockey games at the Hartford Civic Center or even being part of a basketball team since before middle school, I have grown to love the atmosphere that sport brings. Whether it was assisting my Mom coach in our town’s T-Ball league or working with the disabled or even with the students at Wish Elementary School, through sports, I have been able to build a solid sense of a wider community. It is not just about the game itself but it is about what happens in-between and after. It is the indescribable bonds that form between

The article relates to sports because it refers to gender ideology because it identifies the “children as male and female” and the “roles of females and males in society” and this article describes how these children were treated according to status and gender (Coakley, 2015). This information coincides with information in our text. According to (Coakley 2015) organized youth sports children perceive them as a way “to enhance their status among their peers” robbing them of enjoying the sport because it is controlled by adults “that focus on the improvement which can

As a casual reader of the sports section of this newspaper, you come across many articles depicting the triumphs of local athletes. However, very rarely do these articles describe the actual athlete behind the success. Athletes come in all sorts of sizes and shapes. They range from the incredibly talented to the horribly uncoordinated. Some are great teammates while others would rather be a one man team. Certain athletes seek out attention from the people around them while others are modest and stay in the background. The fact of the matter is that there is a wide spectrum of different types of athletes that exist in this world and no two athletes are exactly the same. However, each can be put

I feel that this excerpt stood out to me for many reasons. The first being that I am sure that many people can relate to this quote and feel that they had a similar experience. Personally, I can relate to this excerpt because I have tried playing another sport, and I tried my hardest to train, but after a little while, I started to realize that I wasn’t truly enjoying myself, which is what sports are all about. Another reason is because many people are unsure of what they want to be when they grow up, and end up spending their time in college for something they didn’t truly want to do. Finally, it seems that many parents choose for their kids what their career choice is going to be without the kid having a say in it. With that being said, many kids can end up doing something they don’t want to do for the rest of their life, and not enjoy the good things in life.

For as long as I can remember, my profession of choice has been an occupation in the healthcare field. My dad often reminisces on when I was three when he would ask me “What’s your name?” I would reply with “Dr. Peppers.” Well sixteen years later my dream of being a doctor no longer exists, however my goal to become one of the best athletic trainers in the country is burning with passion. Growing up I wanted to be several different occupations like a trauma nurse, an obstetrician, or a physical therapist, before realizing after two years of high school sports medicine that athletic training was my niche. In coming to better comprehend athletic training as a career, my experiences in my classes and clinical here at Winthrop along with my high school experience in sports medicine has shaped my understanding of the athletic training world.

When Faenza started out as a student didn’t even know she wanted to work in the sports industry. Faenza began her career at UConn as an education major and fell into communications. Faenza also stated she really didn’t even know that sports management was an actual major. Back when she was starting college Faenza said she was not aware that you could in fact work in sport. It wasn’t until her junior and senior year that she realized that it was possible to have a career in sport. One of Faenza’s favorite memories as a student as UConn was illegally pitching a tent in the business school bushes to be one of the first students in line for a UConn Villanova game at Gampel.

The purpose of this study is to understand the feeling, experience, and value that these young men feel as they are a part of this sport.

“Sports psychology offers a contribution to the search for reasons of abandon by combining development, the overall skills of the young men with the acquisition of those sports. The interest in seeking motivation for participation emerges in the 1970s with a study led by Alderman and Wood (1976) with young Canadian athletes. These authors found that

The continuous victories of Soviet Russia and East Germany were no accident. Their governments took great care to build excellent training facilities and fund sports clubs to train their athletes. The states would pick out promising students and put them under extensive training in state-operated training bases and specialized sports schools. Local schools would have intense rivalry for spots in these training bases. Youths under these programs would then be channeled towards the sports which suited them best. These training programs would be based upon a universal standard for the players that must be achieved. At the same time, they were also trained to be athletic “ambassadors” for their countries, brainwashed to sing praise of the country at their international games. Another reason for this brainwashing is the possibility of them being influenced by their capitalist western opponents. Athletes that ran away were forgotten, erased from the history
