The female pharaoh, Hatshepsut, is arguably one of the most influential people of ancient Egypt. For thousands of years, the workings of Hatshepsut have been subject to multiple interpretations, from both her time and the modern day. An evaluation of the effectiveness of her reign can be resolved from the reliability and validity of evidence presented today, both primary and secondary.

In the survey, Qualitative research methods was used to determine whether the NBA Strength and Conditioning coaches use scientific principles in their practices. The survey contained eight sections: physical testing, speed and strength and power development, comments, and flexibility and physical testing.

Over the years, the role of the college athletics administrator has changed significantly. Athletic departments no longer consist of just coaching positions they now have several positions that are non-coaching positions. Beizer stated (2015), “catalyzed by the explosive rise in popularity of college sports and the seemingly exponential growth of spending by universities to bolster their athletic programs, there has never been a greater need for professionals who bring both a dynamic and robust set of skills” (para. 1). Marketers understand the popularity of sports and have really made them a centerpiece of marketing campaigns for decades. With the size and the popularity of any sports the field of sports marketing has grown along with it. With intercollegiate athletic departments mission is to increase ticket sales and revenue sports marketing has a huge impact on making this goal happen. Sport marketing uses sports, in several forms to help sell goods and services (n.d.).

Since I was infant sports has been a part of my existence, and I always knew that I was more than average sports fan. Selecting an occupation in a field where you can fully enjoy your work rarely occurs in today’s world, working in the field of athletics especially in basketball or football (collegiate or professional) would be magnificent due to fact that I’m extremely intelligent in both player personnel and the business aspects of sports. Having the power or ability to lead and encourage others is one of my strongest traits, being a director of athletics is occupation I’m selecting because I can provide visionary leadership, and pursuit excellence in academic and athletic aspirations. A collegiate Athletic director (AD) provides guidance

Coaching is a complex field to be in, as there are many philosophy’s and approach’s that coaches can have. Being that I lack the experience in the past with actual coaching, I will provide you with my coaching philosophy. This philosophy helps guide my direction, and how to deal with potential issues in my coaching career. My coaching philosophy includes my objectives, beliefs, and my principles when coaching.

Having a successful youth basketball program means, more than teaching the skills and strategy required for the game. Instead, a coach must consider multiple components and determine how each element fits together. This portfolio shows how I would put together these elements for a successful program. However, as discussed in my coaching philosophy wins do not define a successful program rather success happens with an athlete-centered style that develops athletes physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually.

Sport is incredible in how it can increase confidence, self-esteem, and overall health while teaching children a new ability of working with others as a team, taking direction, and doing things they never thought possible. I want to be able to show what sports is capable of teaching and the rewards that come along with it. The concept of team reveals what is achievable through solidarity that would be impossible in solitary.

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.

Inside Sport Psychology examines different sport psychology elements that can be transferred into every day coaching. Costas Karageorghis and Peter Terry discuss sports applications that prove helpful to coaches, athletes, team managers as well as students of sports psychology. The applications that are presented are applicable on the sports field in addition to other areas of our lives. Because athletes recognise the effect of psychology, many feel as if they have no or little control over their mind as a performance factor.

The UK coaching framework was revised in 2012/13; it concluded that a more concise document around the topic of ‘Excellent Coaching Every Time for Everyone’ was needed; this therefore provided a focus on four key main objectives, which were as follows:

In earlier days sports psychology was mostly concerned with developing assessment methods that would identify those people with the potential to become serious superior athletes. Today the focus is on psychological training, exercises that strengthen the mental skills that will help athletic performances on the path to excellence. These skills include mental imagery and focus training. If an athlete is serious about becoming the best he or she can possibly be, the most essential ingredient is commitment to practice the right things. It takes incredible commitment to reach the top: a commitment to rest and train the body so it can perform under the most demanding conditions and a commitment to train the mind to

Elite athletes not only use physical conditioning to enhance performance, but also psychological skills. Psychological skills allow athletes to acquire the optimal mindset to compete and achieve success. An example of a psychological skill is goal setting. Goal setting allows the athlete, as well as their coach, to understand where they are, and where they need to go in order to progress with their physical performance. Session plans should be formed in order to aid with goal setting. These session plans should incorporate the progression of short to long term goals through all various types of goals, to achieve
