Persuasive Speech : Sports Is A Huge Thing That Mean A Good Than Harm?

There are many fans and parents that like going to games to see their favorite players or kids play and they spend their game time watching their players make baskets or scoring touchdowns. But, there are also those fans that sit in the bleachers game after game whose players never seem make it off the bench. This happens more often in High School sports than college and professional sports. The coaches of any sports team usually put in the best players or maybe they have a favorite player that's the “star” player that gets more time in the game and more practice and help outside the games and practices. Certain players, however, should not get more attention from their coach or coach’s than others.

Are you wondering what sport is fit for you? Basketball is fit for everyone, especially you. It is a fun sport and you should try it. Fact Monster claims that the first “basketball hoops” were made out of peach baskets and the first backboards were made out of wire? Every time that someone scored a referee had to fetch the ball by climbing a ladder. Basketball is NOT expensive either, all you need is a ball and a basketball hoop, with a rim. The tallest man to play in the NBA was Gheorghe Muresan, he was seven feet, seven inches tall . Don’t worry you don’t have to be tall to play basketball!

Many people argue that competitive sports raise numerous amounts of pressure on the youth making them distracted from things such as their education and because it can cause severe injuries, but some people argue that youth should play competitive sports because it teaches major life lessons that can help with many different aspects of their future such as college, getting a job, and many more. Playing competitive sports also improves your physical strength, another physical aspect of playing competitive sports is decreasing your chance of being obese or having disease. If you don't prefer to play competitive sports there are alternative options such as biking or walking to school. In an HT Health article “Sports Seen As Key Weapon in Fighting Teen Obesity” it says that in a study with 1,700 kids, ten percent walked or biked to school 3 ½ days a week,, in the study they found that biking or walking to school lowered the risk of being obese by 33%. I argue that kids should play competitive sports because of the important life skills taught through these sports and the physical benefit of playing sports. In this paper I will explain how communication, time management, and lowering the risk of being obese; supports my claim, “Kids should play competitive sports”

Your up to bat, fans roaring as your team is rallying the score is 9-8 the other team is winning bases loaded 2 outs, your heart is racing as the pitch is coming, you swing bat and the ball is hit deep, the baseball is going farther and farther away from the left fielder and is is dying down at the wall the left fielder at the wall, jumping at the ball it hits his glove you don’t know if you won or lost you stand halfway to first base, the left fielder throws his glove on the cold hard dirt and is walking away it’s gone you throw your bat on the ground and trot around the bases. Your team jumps out of the dugout with water bottles and waits for you at home plate you start from trotting to running as the fans go wild, and you touch home plate and you in the middle of the circle yell in joy and jump around as you get splashed with water and still wet you don’t care because you are in the moment as you celebrate your first of many walk offs. But in baseball it takes hard work and effort to get like that. It all starts with getting geared up with your equipment and to start with the basics like being hit ground balls and hitting yourself. You have to know what baseball is or else your stuck. You should start the basics and work your way up. You have to know the rules but if you don’t memorize them or follow them, then you can get suspended or even they just move up a base. Baseball, “America's pastime” can be a rough journey but it is truly worth it once you get used to it.

Baseball is a great sport that kids want to pursue when they're older. It’s a game with 9 people on the field at a time and 2 or 3 subs on the bench. Only one person is able to bat at a time. You go through the order as many times as possible. Baseball is a game that lots of kids enjoy playing but don’t get to enjoy. However, our district gives the girls a chance to play softball. So many people might think that baseball is very dangerous, but if you think about it basketball is more physical. Although, people think that getting hit by a ball will hurt a lot, which is true, people have to know when playing any sport there is a chance that you will get hurt. That’s just part of the game. So I am here to inform you on some reasons why baseball should be at our school and at any other middle school that doesn’t have a team.

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.

High school athletics are important to athletes that eat, sleep, and even dream sports. This is awesome for anyone that loves and has a passion for the game. What happens after a couple years of high school athletics if a player is really good at what they do? These athletes will start getting offers from colleges and if they are good enough then they may get offers from the NBA.

I am a volleyball player who was denied eligibility to play varsity volleyball at Thomas County Central High School, because I switched schools sooner than a year ago. I understand that you along with the rest of the GHSA board care about students not taking advantage of switching schools just to be on an eye-catching sports team. As a player, I respect this and thank you for keeping star athletes from taking mine or my team mates’ spots on the team. It is also understandable that you along with other GHSA board members may not think about school systems like ours that continuously have people switching primarily because of the rigor of different school, such as me switching to TCCHS from Thomasville High School Scholars Academy, because I simply could not keep up with the pace and rigor that they teach with. After weighing out both points of view, transfers from any school should be allowed to participate in varsity sports without having to wait a year from the time of transferring to their new school.

In recent years we as a country have seen a huge spike in instances where sports and politics collide. Two examples would include the “Anthem protests” and the “Hands up don’t shoot” entrance into the stadium by the National Football League’s St. Louis Rams. If you take a deeper look back into the history of the United States you see many more examples of different varieties throughout every sport. Most notably one of the greatest boxers of all time, Mohammed Ali, refusing to be drafted to a war he disagreed with and Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball.

Everyone is a nerd about something. Whether it be the more traditionally “nerdy” comic books and video games, movies, clothes, or, yes, sports. That guy that can rattle off every pitcher’s ERA from his favorite baseball team in the last ten seasons? He’s a nerd, too. Now that it’s 2017 and video games and superhero movies are for everyone, it’s time to stop feeling superior to people based on how they spend their personal time. It’s time to let everyone enjoy their hobbies in peace.

Spectating sporting events does not produce negative outcomes all the time; it actually can trigger another type of chemicals that make sport fans want to maximize their participation. For instance, when a football fan steps into the stadium, the rhythmic swaying of fellow fans or the coordinated exposure of music

The audience, sports are all for their own entertainment and the entertainment of the society. Such as football and soccer that have higher ratings and more than half of the world watched these sports. Athletes such as Lance Armstrong and Michael Phelps, have had their experience

If we’ve learned anything from last night’s game against the Warriors, it’s that the Nets can hang with the best of them. Despite the visitors ultimately running away with the game, the first half remains a huge reason for future optimism. Still, the Nets don’t have time for rest. Tonight is the second night of their back-to-back, and they’re traveling to Cleveland to take on the current NBA champions, the Cavaliers.

Why is it so common for pro athletes to become bankrupt subsequently after their retirement from the game or after being fired for poor performance? I mean let’s face it we know all about the high paying jobs like becoming a doctor or lawyer, lead technician… yes these big time jobs everyone dreams of and assumes they will take care of your finances by itself. For the most part, this is true, actually it is very true. Any of the jobs I just mentioned will take care of you for the years to come and after that to the point where you will just have money to blow on anything. However, there is something bigger… much bigger, and that is in the billion dollar franchise of pro sports. There is unimaginable wealth and greed involved in this industry. Actually in some sports like the national football league the league minimum as of 2014 is a whopping and incredible 420k and that’s just the first taste of money you will receive during your introduction year as a rookie, and trust me this number is growing outstandingly every year http://athletevsdoctorpay.blogspot.com/. Sounds like quite a bit of money just for slinging a football across a field, hitting things with a bat, or shooting a ball into a hoop.
