Experts argue about whether or not we have control over our lives. They question if destiny is determined by fate or by choices we make in our life. Two authors both take their sides on this topic producing evidence to support their claim. David Epstein author of The Sports Gene and Malcolm Gladwell author of Outliers: Story of Success both make an argument on how much we control in our lives in which they take different sides. David Epstein wrote about a track and field athlete who had incredible jumping ability despite never practicing high jumping. Malcolm Gladwell talks about how violinists were never able to float through musical school without putting in the practice hours. They each support their side with

The Margaret Eaton School (MES) played an important role in Canadian physical education during a period of time known as the “golden age” for women’s sport in Canada. This essay will discuss how Margaret Eaton School came to be and why it is considered one of the leading schools in the development of women’s physical education in Canada in 1901, with the help of Emma Scott Raff and Margaret Eaton. The school started out as “The School of Expression” focusing on theatre and physical culture, and later (1925) shifted its views to focus solely on physical education. I plan to argue that from 1901 to 1942, the Margaret Eaton School played an innovative role in Canada in the development of physical education by offering women a comprehensive

He was not only amazing at track and football, but he was also very good at swimming, lacrosse, basketball, wrestling, golf, and tennis. He was born May 28, 1887, and was born near a town called Prague in Oklahoma. His father was a farmer, and his name was Hiram Thorpe. His mother was a Potawatomi Indian named Mary James. Thorpes Native American name was Wa­Tho­Huk, which means “bright path.” He started off very young with great athletic abilities. This showed when he learned to ride horses and swim at the age of 3. Jim loved the outdoors as a boy, especially hunting. Jim had a twin brother, and they were very close. His brother was named Charlie. In 1904 Thorpe and his brother started school in Carlisle Industrial School in Pennsylvania. Whenever they were in school Charlie enjoyed it, but Jim did not. He wasn’t very good so Charlie had to help him through. At the age of 9 Charlie got sick and ended up dying. Thorpe was heartbroken he wanted to quit school. He even ended up running twenty­three miles’ home to his parents. Whenever he first started his athletic career at his school he played football and track.

The weather seemed to be against the efforts of the football players. The lack of things to sustain them while in the field made the situation even more difficult. The football players at Logos College practiced under the hot sun with the guidance of their coach Emmett Creed. They performed all the drills as expected and none of them gave excuses for anything; they wanted to give their best results. The determination portrayed by the players is symbolic of that represented by the working class in the society who give their best at their places of work to get good results.

You are the athletic director of a budding high school. Currently there is a six and a half foot junior with incredible athletic ability, earning national recognition. Weekly you are receiving phone calls from newspaper and television reporters, as well as fielding questions from college coaches and community sponsors. You see the potential in this student, and it leads to recognition, acclaim, and possibly future financial gain. There is, however, one small problem; the student-athlete is currently failing three of six classes for the semester.

It’s Monday, August 22, 2016. The time is 4:00 a.m. The first of five alarms began to sound in my ear. Snooze. Second alarm sounds. Snooze. The snooze button is my friend until I realize I cannot afford to sleep another minute. I grudgingly get out of bed and start my morning routine. The time is 4:30 a.m. I get into my car and drive through the pitch-black morning. I arrive to the Michael S. Starnes Athletic Training Center at 4:45 am. My semester long internship begins. For the 2016 Fall semester, I had the opportunity to do a volunteer practicum through the Ole Miss Strength and Conditioning department under some of the best strength and conditioning coaches. This event, rather experience, was an eye opener into the real world.

Physical education is defined nowadays as a “systematic instruction in sports, exercises, and hygiene given as part of a school or college program” (Park). When most people think of the term “physical education” they think of it as “a broad, inclusive term comprising the fields of physical education, health education, safety education, athletics, recreation, dance education, kinesiology and so on” (Zeigler 1).
