Sports In Sports And Sports

Instead of writing about which sport or activity that meant the most to me, I am going to share the reason why I didn’t play sports in high school. I am part of a church called The Apostolic Christian Church. One of things we do when we join the church is to separate ourselves from the worldly environment and one of the ways we do this is not participating in sports. The reason for this is to work on being a humble example. When playing sports or even watching sports we tend to lean toward a proud spirit. Some examples are booing the other team, or even cheering on your team saying they are the best. This has helped shaped my life in the way of focusing on things that are more important to me like my religion, family,

Sports are something that everyone in the world, regardless of age, sex, or nationality, can enjoy. Whether it's a child playing in his first t-ball game or a professional athlete swimming in the Olympics and everyone in between, sports can connect almost everyone. Fan support and overall devotion for athletic competition has raised professional athletes to superstars and national icons; Super Bowl Sunday is a national holiday to some, and sports are one of the largest moneymakers in the economy.

Sports have been a huge part of my life ever since I was about five years old. It has impacted my life so much. The biggest challenge that I faced was with my injuries during basketball and soccer season. I recently had to quit soccer and basketball, which was difficult for me.

The path of life is not always smooth. There are ups and downs, sharp bends and unclear turns. Sometimes you are so bent on your reaching your destination that you blind yourself to other opportunities that life presents. This was my predicament before I joined college- an overzealous academician who was eager to conquer his dreams. Therefore, it came as a surprise when I learned that apart from attending classes, I would be expected to participate in at least one sport co-curricular activity. This was my father’s personal policy. He took it upon himself to ensure that all his children developed their athletic skills. I fought against this ideology. I told him that I did not have an athletic bone in my body. I even complained that adults are not supposed to be told what to do. I argued relentlessly. Needless to say, I lost miserably. “Co-curricular activities help in the development of the mind and body,” my father insisted-and took it upon himself to explain to a belligerent me. He even offered to go with me to college to meet my coach. “I do not need babysitting,” I said grudgingly. He then gave me a handbook and asked me to pick my sport. I knew I had lost the fight. The sports offered at my college included: soccer, basketball, hockey, badminton, cricket, rugby, volleyball, and swimming. After much thinking and critical analysis of each sport, I decided to settle for

C. I started playing sports when I was 5 years old. It has taught me valuable lessons and helped me grow as a person. I know for certain that sports helps to keep teens occupied and less likely to get in

The topic that I chose for this ethnographic interview was sports in American culture. Sports are popular in America, and are a big part of the culture in America. I would say most people in America have played sports, whether they played as kids, in high school, at the collegiate level, or even professional. A great deal of people also enjoy watching sporting events. The following were the questions asked during the interview. How have sports affected your life? Why do you think sports are so popular in America’s culture? How are sports a part of the culture in America? What do you think about the amount of money spent on spectator sports?

Sports Illustrated writer, Rick Reilly, has brought up the argument of how involved parents should be in their children's sport’s life, as well as if sports should be played on Sunday. Specifically, he brings up how sports have over run important Sunday events like church, while also addressing the fact that parents push kids into multiple time consuming sports that take place out of town. With this Reilly believes that sports should not be played on Sunday, as he states “I just feel sorry for these kids who get nothing but organized sports crammed down their gullets 24/7” (Reilly 58). Also Reilly acknowledges that parents are the main reason for these tight scheduled sports, as they believe that their town sports league are not as challenging for their kids, so they put their kids in out of town sports, usually at an advanced level (Reilly 38). Overall, parents should not force their kids into time consuming, out of town sports, that conflict with important Sunday activities, due to the fact that the kids do not get a day off with

Next, participating in sports lets me be myself and will help me throughout my life. Sports have helped me grow into a better leader and gave me the ability to become a better person. If my teammates are ever down or upset about something, I now have the ability to help them recover from it and get ready for the next play or inning. Also, taking part in sports lets me be myself. Whenever I am on a field or a court, I can always do what I do best and forget about everything else in my life.

Did you know that there is more to sports teams than just scoring goals, touchdowns and runs? Sport management is a field concerning the business and education part of sports and recreation. It includes the front office system in professional sports, college sports, and recreation. Some examples of sport managers are: recreational sport managers, sport marketing, event management, facility management, sport economics, sport finance and sport information. Sport management can be seen as an easy job, but in reality it is complex and challenging.

Playing sports was the highlight of my childhood (BE12). My friends and I played pretty much every sport there was to play. All the seasons flowed together. The day after football was over, we were all shooting hoops and playing basketball. As we all grew up, some of us are still busy with sports in every season of the year. Others of us chose to stick with one or two sports. Football and basketball, until this year, were the two sports that I chose to stick with (SC11). However, these two sports are very different from one another.

B. My dad is one of my best friends. I know most kids don’t like to hang out with their parents but I have always had a close knit relationship with both of my parents.

Participation in organized sports can provide an opportunity for young people to increase their physical activity and cognitive social skills. But, when the demands and expectations of organized sports exceed the maturation and readiness of the young athlete, the positive aspects of participation can be negated. It can be noted, that parent or adult involvement can influence the degree to which participation in organized sports is a positive experience.

The three primary research methods that I chose were: surveys, interviews, and observations. I thought that these three primary research methods would be the most beneficial in finding out most of the answers to all of my questions. I made a survey of ten questions related to sports. Some of the basic questions that I asked were: What is your gender? How well do you like sports? Did you play sports in high school? Do you watch sports on television? Some of the more in depth questions that I asked were: When watching your favorite sporting event, how excited do you get? What is your favorite sport to play? What is your favorite sport to watch on television, if any? Have you ever been to a professional sporting event? How many hours of sports, on average a week do you watch? Do you think that sports are primarily for
