These sports help teach teamwork and let people interact with others. This change in the culture of sport is destructive of the aims of athletics as part of the mission of the university (Hearn, Thomas K.). Sports weren’t this advanced when they first started the game.

Sports in conjunction with academics are capable of creating a balance that makes for a well rounded citizen and healthy, happy employee. Issues in the mix often come from the balance itself. Many students find themselves overcommitted to sport while others find they are not able to compete. I will examine issues in interscholastic and collegiate sport.

The article “Football Major, Basketball Minor?” by Ben Strauss (2015) asserts that whether athletes in college engaged and focused on general classes more or typically focused only on practicing sports. Ben mentioned that many athletes are spending more time on the practicing sports, and there are vast majorities of athletes in college are majoring in sports instead of learning general knowledges. However, he introduces two arguments from two professors separately, David Pargman and William D. Coplin. They all provided a beneficial ideas for the situation that commonly existed in college. Athletes majoring in sports may learn the knowledge which is about professional sports training skills and they can easily use these skills for future games

To begin, we need to acknowledge that sport plays an important position in the lives of many people around the world today. Sport is not confined to specific boundaries as there are many different fields that sport may permeate itself into. These fields include the sporting and economic sectors, sport sciences as well as the practical and athletic professionals who participate in these fields (Refacuk, 2017). Undoubtedly we cannot ignore the field of sport coaching as a profession, responsible for teaching and mentoring. In this essay, I will define the concept of a blended profession and what ideologies rotate around how a blended professional should be acknowledged as well as how this integrates into the ICCE and SASCOC framework

Sports programs have been an integral part of all schools. They support the academics of the school and therefore foster success in life. These programs are educational and help produce productive citizenship. They help students experience and build skills that may help them in their future, like interpersonal and time management skills. Education may kindle the light of knowledge, but sports help to maintain the proper physique. Sports are also an important means of entertainment and a use for energy after long hours of study. Sports increase a student’s performance not only in the classroom but also in their life.

The perspective of this paper is to develop a philosophy on physical education and then explain what kind of job we plan on having later on in life and relate physical education to that.

Sport sociology examines sports as a part of cultural and social life, and adds a different dimension and perspective to the study of sport and exercise. More specifically, sport sociology examines the relationship between sports and society and seeks answers to many issues and questions regarding sport and culture. Sociology of sport poses critical and controversial issues; additionally, sports are considered a microcosm of society, the same social issues that exist in larger society also exist in sport culture. I have chosen eight peer-reviewed Sociological Journals to expand upon the understanding of this topic that I found to be the most relevant and offer diverse yet complete perspectives on sports.

In today’s society children are increasingly becoming less active. Lack of physical activity in childhood leads to obesity, can increase one’s risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, asthma, arthritis, and poor health status. Physical inactivity also increases one’s risk for dying prematurely, dying of heart disease, and colon cancer. Technology and video games have become a major factor in this and have seemed to take over and control lives of many children. Less children are involved with sports and few play outside. The lack of physical activity as a child, can pay huge dividends in the child’s health, into his/her adulthood.
