Contact Sports and Degenerative Brain Disease Kayla Roides Caledonia-Mumford Abstract This paper connects contact sports with degenerative brain diseases. It also shows that CTE is not only connected to football because of the continuous tackling inducing trauma to the brain, but also soccer where heading the ball can often cause brain damage. This is

Football: Women: Foundation: At foundation level women face many barriers when trying to participate in sport. In football women may come up against cultural barriers which could stop them from playing this could be because of the stereotypical perception that they should be at home and that it is an unfeminine thing to do this could stop then from participating, also they may have been brought up in a very feminine world so they are more likely to play something like netball rather than football, another cultural barrier could be the persons religion as some Christians will not play on a Sunday which is when most foundation level teams play.

The hot headed and brass attitudes of the players and this documentary, does not take the typical approach to disability. Instead it takes a “wondrous” approach, “capitalizing on physical differences in order to elicit amazement and admiration” (Garland-Thomas 545). The viewers gain a feeling of respect and awe for the players because they “inspire the viewer by performing feats that the nondisabled viewer cannot imagine doing” (Garland-Thomas 545). Most people see disability as something that will never be recovered from, but this movie and these men challenge the viewer to see the strength behind

Abstract: The Special Olympics not only give special athletes athletic skills, they offer more opportunity, encouragement, and dexterity to survive in society than the public school system alone. To understand the differences and similarities between handicapped athletes and their non-handicap peers is the first step in creating a program that best meets the child's needs. There were no community programs that catered to the mentally and physically challenged, so Eunice Kennedy-Shriver created "special games" in her back yard for her handicapped child. Shriver established the Special Olympics in 1968. Today there are more than one million special athletes competing in 140 countries. There are some problems with relying on the

Everyone has their own way of achieving victory: scoring the winning point in a sport, getting chosen for a job or acing a test in school. A writer for Sport Illustrated's, Rick Reilly, tells Ben Comen’s story, a teenager with cerebral palsy who runs for his high school’s cross-country team, in his article “Worth the Wait.” In the article, Reilly informs the audience of the previously mentioned situation that Ben is in, while also mentioning Ben’s process of overcoming all odds and managing to finish the races with the entire crowd cheering him on. Reilly establishes a triumphant tone with the aid of pathos and arduous-like diction to make light of people with cerebral palsy and to show how they can accomplish goals in life like everyone else

According to Disabled Spots USA, “National Handicapped Sports and Recreation Association renamed Disabled Sports USA in 1994. It has 91 chapters and 36 states in the United States. It gives sports and recreation programs not only the military people who get serious physical disabling because of their mission, but also people who have disability.” There are 303 million people, who have either mental disabilities or physical disabilities, living in the United States. “Disabled Sports USA provided sports and recreation programs to over 60,000 youth and adults who have some disabilities now according to Australian Paralympic Committee. ” Disabled people, who do some physical activity, are possible to spend happy life compare with disabled people, who did not do any activities. According to Disabled USA’ survey said, “The survey found that DSUSA Chapter Participants (CP) are twice as likely to be employed as the general population of adults with disabilities (68% vs. 33%). ”

Inside the Career of Recreation Therapists Before visiting the Hospital for Special Care Adaptive Sports Program in New Britain, I did not realize all the hard work that goes into working in the adaptive sports program. At first I thought the adaptive sports program was for people who had difficulties playing

Stories become a great influence on people as they view other people either on television or through a book as they explain their struggles or experiences. They should not view them as a negative perspective because of the media. In the article, “ Slippery Slopes: Media, Disability, and Adaptive Sport,” the author William Peace notes how the media shows disability out as “something to be miraculously and inspirationally ‘overcome’ with real consequences”(Peace 676). When taking a gander at somebody with an incapacity, people tend to believe that they are not ready to do the things that individuals with abled bodies can, which is false. While having an incapacity there are approaches to work around things. People don't have to surrender and

Has your favorite sports athlete got hurt playing your favorite sport? Well being a Sports Medical Physician could possibly be helping that person. When I got hurt this past winter, I had to go see a Physician's Assistant, which looked at my injury and diagnosed what needed to be done just like a Sports Medical Physician would do. Becoming a Sports Medical Physician may be a difficult job, with many years of hard work and college, but if you like to help athletes get into better shape to get back to their sport, then this is for you. This is why I believe going to college, training hard, and focusing on your job will help anyone to becoming a successful, high educated, and well payed, Sports Medical Physician.

Body paragraph 1: No one can be competitive or better than someone else. According to the text, “They weren't really very good no better than anyone else would have been.” This shows that there is no competitive behavior. Therefore, there is no fun in sports because everyone has the same talent or amount of skill. Having a handicap takes the enjoyment out of playing and out of watching. There is no point in even dancing or participating in any physical activity if you can't show your full

Moore has been a hard worker ever since she was little. She knew at a young age that her abilities were far more superior to her classmates. She might not have been taller than them but she knew for a fact that her hand eye coordination and agility were better than theirs, so she decided to capitalize on these aspects of her game. Since Moore knew what she was better at she used her key aspects towards her advantage at sports, and one certain sport she put them to use was

Horror story of sports injuries begins with a young man by the name of Austin Trenum. He was only 17-years-old when misery struck him while playing a football game. Austin’s final play left him with a serious concussion. He got up from the play showing no signs of a brain injury. Austin’s parents took him to the emergency room just to ensure there was no need for further treatment. They were advised not to allow Austin to do anything except (bed rest to rest his brain) for forty eight hours. Since Austin showed no symptoms, his parents allowed him to participate in hunting activities, to go to a party, and to play video games because Austin assured them he was fine. For no apparent reason at all, Austin went upstairs two days later and

Have you ever thought about how important mental strength is? Mental strength is very important in all sports and in every athlete. Mental strength is a key component in all sports. Mental strength is not only believing in yourself,but it is also knowing what to do in a certain situation in that sport.

Imagine yourself in this situation, you are a kid with some sort of disability on a baseball team. When you’re on deck your couch tells the hitter walk, so you don’t even get a chance to try and all because of your disability. How would you feel? Humiliated? Week? You don’t even get a chance to prove yourself! To start off just because Romney is a cancer survivor does not mean he should be treated differently than the other kids, yes he may be weaker but they could have at least given him a chance to play a proper game. Romney's coach claims it was just a game strategy and it could help, but why did he have to make that choice when Romney was playing? Secondly yes it is a bunch kids playing, so it shouldn’t be taken too seriously, but yet
