Persuasive Speech For Athletic Scholarshipss

I heard the faint high pitched beeping of my alarm clock as I opened my sleep covered eyes. I attempted to roll out from under my covers but immediately retreated as I felt the chilly spring air touch my skin. While I was mustering up the motivation to get out of bed, I glanced at my alarm clock. “11:00 AM” it read in boxy, glowing numbers. Had I really slept in that long? I finally rose from my bed, traveling down the stairs to make myself some breakfast. “Hi, girl!” I greeted my dog where she was waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. I smiled to myself as I turned on some music, opened the fridge to retrieve some eggs, and turned on the stove. It felt like a fine Saturday morning until I remembered that I had a lacrosse game later

So you’re thinking about joining FFA, and you don’t know if it’s a good fit for you. You don’t think you fit the stereotype that is meant to be in FFA. First let's start off with what FFA stands for, it stands for Future Farmers of America. While FFA is the traditional name we had a name change in 1988 to show the diversity in agriculture that it is not only farming but a variety of different focuses. So even if you're not into farming there is more then likely something that you would find that you would enjoy.

They say student loans are the “Good kind of loans.” When in all reality, any loan is not a good loan. Many students that take out loans to go to college, won't be able to make their student loan payment every month. The total estimated student loan debt in our country is one trillion dollars, the companies that are lending the money are making bank on students taking out loans for college. If this is what people consider to be normal, do you want to be normal? They say paying for knowledge, getting that higher degree, will enable you to get a better wage; so getting a loan now, is a small price to pay. So let’s say you take out a $70,000 loan, and you complete college, you apply for the carrier that you worked for. Your starting salary is $30,000

Specific Purpose: To persuade the SPC-112-W003 class on why college athletes should be getting paid.

As of May 29, 2004 “the NCAA and the U.S. Department of Defense are embarking on a landmark $30 million initiative to enhance the study of student-athletes and service members” (ncaa.org). Beside all the money that the NCAA gives to different studies they also award scholarships and grants. “The NCAA awards more than $10 million in scholarships and grants annually to student-athletes and member institution, in addition to the $2.4 billion allocated to schools to fund athletics scholarships” ( NCAA.org). They are also providing $15 million in grant money over the next three years to fund a joint initiative with the U.S. Department of Defense. The NCAA has been giving scholarship since 1964 to help college athletes pursue additional education opportunities. Some of the scholarships are Jim McKay, Walter Byers Postgraduate and Ethnic Minority and Women’s Enhancement Postgraduate. There are a lot of

Credibility: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics only about 69.2% of 2015 high school graduates enrolled into college last fall. Imagine how much higher that percentage would be if college tuition was free.

Did you know Soccer is the number one sport in the world with more than 4.0 billion people worldwide that play? Most people just think Soccer is kicking a ball around and running, but it can be more complex than that and there's more to it then just kicking a ball. I'm going to walk you through the key steps to becoming a successful soccer player.

If anybody in here has a child, hopefully at least one of us will, will you let him/her play sports while they are growing up? If not, hopefully this speech will at least show you some benefits from playing sports as a child.

¨Have you watched a game of football and think it is too rough for your kids to play?¨ Well it's not that rough you have good body protection like equipment to keep you safe. Well it is time to stop worrying and let your kid play some pigskin.

The summer, a time of warm weather, long weekends, friends and holidays. It is also the time where many of us put down the junk food, get off the couch and come out of winter hibernation to enjoy the outdoors. It’s often not long after playing your first game of beach volleyball or running to catch the bus when you realise that your heart is racing, sweat is pouring down your face and you are breathing heavily. As you look up and watch everyone still running around you or as your stepping onto the bus only one thought is running through your mind “WOW I am out of shape!”. Now I am not here today to try and convince you to get into better shape. Starting a fitness routine is a commitment that an individual needs to decide on for

Have you ever been yelled at by a coach or has your coach told you to run so much you throw up? I sure would not want that to happen to me. I think there is no reason to treat players badly. You can motivate them but if you go too far it can turn into abuse. Psychologists have proven that mean coaches can damage kids. Some people might think it is ok for coaches to treat their coaches bad. I believe that that coaches should treat their players better. There is no reason to make your players pressured into a situation. Also there is no reason to make your players run till they throw up.

As the cost of education increases, many students search for assistance to help cover that cost. That form of assistance could come from burdensome financial aid or a scholarship that provides the student with an education free from debt. That’s why I am writing you today Mr. Alan Hall on behalf of the Student Scholarship Committee, bellow we have outlined the (1) the benefits to the student, (2) the benefits to you, and (3) how you can take action to help.

I would love to attend the program, but I was wondering if there is any financial assistance?

¨You can sell ice to an eskimo.¨ Ever since I was a youngster, people have always told me how much potential I had to be a salesman. Such remarks provoked me to investigate the means by which an ad is persuasive and able to influence someone to buy a product. Through diligent effort, I learned that having a catchy slogan can persuade someone to support a business or organization. Of all of the slogans in today's society, from McDonald’s to Walmart’s, the slogan that stands out to me happens to be Nike's, ¨Just do it.¨ In a commercial aired on the 25th anniversary of the slogan, the theme is to ¨Just do it¨ even if the odds are in favor of your opponent. The 90-second commercial begins by picturing average athletes who are pressured

You may think that selling is complicated and confusing but I’m here to tell you
