Real Learning Takes Place Through Experience

Sport’s are an aspect of life that affect societies across the globe. Athletics affect everyone's life, whether that be playing the sport, watching games, or hearing about a sporting event. There is a big difference between playing an individual sport and players relying on their own athletic abilities versus a team sport when members of the team rely on their teammates to complete each individual's specific responsibility to reach the team's goal. Team sports bring people together in countless ways, and they teach many life skills for the athletes that participate in them. Some of these skills include communication, teamwork, discipline, work ethic, dedication, leadership, and numerous more that will help them in their personal and work

Although most student athletes never become professionals, they spend excessive amounts of time playing sports neglecting their education. There are many possible solutions to balance academics with athletics. One possible solution may be to screen perspective student athletes before accepting them into

The Sport Education model does not have a lot of disadvantages, especially when implemented with second year University students. When applied to Year 9 or 10 students, there are a few

The competitive athletics programs of member institutions are designed to be a vital part of the educational system. A basic purpose of this Association is to maintain intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of the educational program and the athlete as an integral part of the student body and, by so doing, retain a clear line of demarcation between intercollegiate athletics and professional sports (NCAA, 2011).

This can be the opportunity of a lifetime for a lot of amatuer athletes, where as profressionals are allready on big time teams and don’t care about playing in the olympics

student athletes, should be designed in a way that promotes academic progress as well as graduation.

Young people in society represent the future. Therefore, through sports, we would like to offer Paralympics athletes, approaching this world, the extra opportunity to challenge themselves and each other through competition, as a stimulus for their personal growth and integration.

With the multi-billions of dollars that the Olympics earn and spend, it’s certainly is in the best interest of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to remain under the circumstances of keeping sport open to professional athletes, not only financially, but as well as the majority of their viewers. In this position statement, I will use historic International Olympic Committee guidelines (1964) and official IOC reports as a basis for proving that professional athletes should be allowed to participate in the Olympic Games.

While the academic education of student-athletes is of primary concern, the Athletics Council’s involvement extends to include all matters affecting the Athletics program. The Athletics

Sport plays a huge role in today’s society. It contributes to one’s health and fitness, social interaction, social and motor skills, patriotism, fun and entertainment. It also stimulates the economy and tourism leading to interaction between different cultures, for example the Olympics, and sport role models.

The continuous victories of Soviet Russia and East Germany were no accident. Their governments took great care to build excellent training facilities and fund sports clubs to train their athletes. The states would pick out promising students and put them under extensive training in state-operated training bases and specialized sports schools. Local schools would have intense rivalry for spots in these training bases. Youths under these programs would then be channeled towards the sports which suited them best. These training programs would be based upon a universal standard for the players that must be achieved. At the same time, they were also trained to be athletic “ambassadors” for their countries, brainwashed to sing praise of the country at their international games. Another reason for this brainwashing is the possibility of them being influenced by their capitalist western opponents. Athletes that ran away were forgotten, erased from the history

Since I was a young girl, learning was something necessary to do in order to mature into my own self. It's something us as humans do to evolve from our younger selves. From learning to talk, walk ,and read we learn many things throughout our lifetime to be the person we are today. Learning is the key to life. Learning makes us progress. Riding a bicycle was a learning experience that I might never forget it.

Sports help people relax and have fun. In Italy it is very evident that the people are hard workers, but they still do love to play! The Italians are very fond of many sports. They are very enthusiastic about many of the same sports as we are in the United States. The sports that Italians are most fanatic about in every day life are soccer, tennis, swimming, boxing, rowing, boating, golf, and basketball. (DiFranco, 103). Some of these sports are new to the Italians, however, they are catching on quite quickly and starting to be played at higher levels of competition. The Italians' range of levels go from the Olympic games, to a high level of league play, all the way down to recreational

There has been recent debate on whether the Paralympic and Olympic games should remain as they are as two individual sporting events, or whether they should merge into one mega-event to become ‘truly inclusive’. Ferdman and Deane (2015) state that inclusion involves both being fully ourselves and allowing others to be fully themselves in the context of engaging in common pursuits.
