Key Principles And Good Practice Within Sports

Playing a sport with a team is arguably one of the most fun and rewarding, experiences available, but what if doing so actually hampered one's education? Researchers Chun Cheng Chuan, Aminuddin Yusof, and Parilah Mohd Shah were intrigued by the matter and published, “Sports Involvement and Academic Achievement: A Study of Malaysian University Athletes”. These authors theorized that “sport involvement, despite boosting social skills, leads to a decrease in academic success among students” (12). They are credible due to their credentials as well as their appeal to ethos and logos. The authors’ substantial appeal to ethos strengthens their article immensely, and one main appeal to pathos makes the article especially strong in an emotional sense.

In sport we have to take in a range of different performers, who come from various different backgrounds cultures and beliefs, each of these has its own demands and regulations for participation in sport and so it is the job of different organisations and sporting parties to overcome this, finding ways to include and allow everyone to participate in sport.

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.

It is not only about assembling people in a physically active way, it is about uniting an array of people whether disabled, healthy, or less fortunate into a larger community. I saw the effect of this idea of being part of a bigger community on those who participated in the Special Olympics as well as children at Wish Elementary School. Sport instills confidence as well as helps to develop the skills needed to cope with disappointment and defeat. This is what the industry provides and invokes in people without it even being consciously expressed. Growing up surrounded by this type of athletic, team-oriented atmosphere can instill an appreciation for and acknowledge the importance of sports as an individual and as a member of a greater

Many social factors directly or indirectly shape opinions and influence an individual’s decision to participate in physical activity. These factors change throughout an individual’s life. For example, some children start playing sport because it is fun; others may join a sporting group because their older brother or sister plays that sport. A new sporting complex may open nearby and provide a chance to try a new sport. Coaching clinics might inspire some people to give a sport a go. Teachers can provide both positive and negative sporting experiences.

In this case study, Shawna an athletic training student evaluated an injury and made her diagnosis. Within a few days of the team returning to the university the same athlete Shawna had seen was back in the athletic training room, this time complaining of groin pain. Mary the certified athletic trainer on staff, evaluated the injury and determined that the athlete had a serious infection in his left leg. Being that Shawna is only a student and Mary is a certified AT, who do you believe is ethically responsible for missing the initial diagnosis?

Many partnerships have been set up to try and tackle social inequalities through sport and leisure, as social exclusion is an ever growing problem in the world today. The government defined social exclusion as, “what can happen when people or areas suffer from a combination of linked problems such as unemployment, poor skills, low incomes, poor housing, high crime, bad health and family breakdown.” (Batty, 2002) This essay is going to evaluate a partnership between Street League and Decathlon and look at how they work together to tackle social inclusion through Street Leagues academies. In order to effectively evaluate this partnership the essay will be structured into different sections to ensure that the partnership can be easily

There are five drivers in the sports world that are keys to understanding which way sports are moving. The first driver talks about how there’s a blurry line between work and leisure in sports (Gunston, 2004). There is a blurry line because some sports to some people could be leisurely to them while others it may seem too much like a job, this is changing the sports we play and the types of people that play each sport. The second driver explains how consumers want instant entertainment when they are watching sports, which will put tons of pressure on people with sports related jobs and even the sports industry as a whole. Majority of people that watch sports want what they are watching to be as interesting as it can be, I’d personally agree because I’d say everyone likes seeing an entertaining and electrifying game rather than something boring that’s going to lose your interest. The third driver speaks about how the media and

As a non-profit corporation which aims to improve social welfare and facilitate international cooperation, the work of the International Sports Promotion Society (ISPS) takes the promotion of sport as central to its mission statement. At the heart of this focus lies a deep-seated belief that sport has the intrinsic power to foster hope, and to inspire those who participate to transform society.

When I look back on my sport participation I remember using strategies similar to those used by sport psychologists to calm myself before big performances. For example, at a national competition for BMX racing the wait between each race could easily be over an hour, this long wait caused anxiety and tension to build within, and the longer I waited the more tension I would feel as the race grew nearer. Overtime I learned to deal with these feelings of unease through relaxation training and mental imaging. When my race grew close I would begin to try and calm myself by using deep breathing techniques to lower stress and tension while also at the same time imagining myself winning the race. At the time I had no idea I was using tools similar

Of course I had dreams of playing professional sport like every other young male in the world but, a wise man spoke to me and he asked me how much my favorite basketball player makes on average, I did the research and Lebron James makes over 300 million dollars annually. Younger me got that information and as expected I held strong on my dreams of being a professional athlete until he showed me 0.0015% of Americans make it into the NBA.”Out of every 10,000 kids playing basketball in high school only 3 will make it to the pros. Note, this doesn’t mean they’re going to stay in the pros more than 5 seconds. This doesn’t mean they’re going to get a sneaker deal and be in a Pepsi commercial This simply means they’ll get drafted.” (Odds of Playing).

Furthermore, just as there are motivational factors for athletes, and that there are also different attitudes or beliefs that athletes might have towards certain facets, such as doping or wanting to be successful. It is imperative that one understands that those same factors and or facets are quite similar if not identical to the factors and or facets associated with those athletes. Going forward, there will be an in depth examination of the correlation between motivational factors for athletes and those of sport ministries. Sport ministries can be defined as, activity put on by an organization that occurs during a person’s leisure time, that has a specific purpose and or deliberate intention of assisting individuals become conscious of

The Participation in organized sports has become very popular in America over the past 30 years. Many parents are worried that putting their children on a team too early could close them off to sports as a whole. When is the appropriate age for competing in organized sports and what are the consequences of starting too early or even too late? This paper will discuss whether children and preadolescents should participate in competitive sports.
