Summary: Improving Field Performance

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

Growing up many of us knew the importance of sports and recreational activities and how they benefit both physical health and mental health. Our parents, school teachers, the media, and even our childhood sporting hero’s told the importance of sports and how it can keep us fit and healthy.

What many people fail to see in an athlete is the amount of talent in them, the commitment they have, the intense training they go through, and the competitive attitude they posses. The physical challenges they face and endure is astonishing. An average person works eight hours a day behind a desk with his computer. Imagine working the same number of hours everyday while training your abilities, maintaining your physical form, and sharpening your skills (Anonymous par. 4). That is what a professional athlete endures. Athletes face short career lengths. They also face a lot of competitiveness; therefore, an athlete is at the top of his game when he is still young. Professional athletes also face the risk of career ending injuries when they are fighting to win a game and be the best they can. Combining all those problems they face, the average career length of an athlete is five years (Keown par. 2). Not only do these athletes need to stay in shape, but they also have to perform well. But all the hard works leads to health issues such as lack of sleep, fatigue, and continuous tension (Wilson par.3). If they are not able to put up to the

Research shows that early specialization in a single sport while eliminating others can have adverse effects. From the intense practices to pressure-filled competitions, young athletes can feel a considerable amount

It is not only about assembling people in a physically active way, it is about uniting an array of people whether disabled, healthy, or less fortunate into a larger community. I saw the effect of this idea of being part of a bigger community on those who participated in the Special Olympics as well as children at Wish Elementary School. Sport instills confidence as well as helps to develop the skills needed to cope with disappointment and defeat. This is what the industry provides and invokes in people without it even being consciously expressed. Growing up surrounded by this type of athletic, team-oriented atmosphere can instill an appreciation for and acknowledge the importance of sports as an individual and as a member of a greater

Many social factors directly or indirectly shape opinions and influence an individual’s decision to participate in physical activity. These factors change throughout an individual’s life. For example, some children start playing sport because it is fun; others may join a sporting group because their older brother or sister plays that sport. A new sporting complex may open nearby and provide a chance to try a new sport. Coaching clinics might inspire some people to give a sport a go. Teachers can provide both positive and negative sporting experiences.

Education of fitness, team participation, and conditioning will provide each teammate a clear directive of the challenges that lie ahead. In addition, diversity educations classes will help with players from all states recognize the challenges and the social aspects of competitions.

This structural-stress gives all of them time to develop their time-management skills as well as many other advantages. The training is designed to produce well-conditioned young athletes that will be ready to out-perform the next team they face. This also leads towards the athletes living a healthy lifestyle and develop problem-solving skills. (Runya, Robin) One good habit can lead to many good habits to form. Some more advantages would be a rise in self-esteem, higher social competence, and students striving for higher levels of academic achievement. (Robin) Collegiate sports also can reduce the rate of arrests, unplanned pregnancies, and lowers the dropout rate. (Robin) In addition to these social and emotional benefits, sports can also bring about intangible benefits to the school and community as a whole. “Sports also create important opportunities for students to contribute to the school community, which may cultivate an increased commitment to, or identification with, school and school values.” (Taliaferro 397) The teamwork skills these men learn from playing football with affect them every day of their lives. They learn to trust each other on the field, as well as develop skills that can and will help them in their future careers. This leads to a greater social benefit we experience as they enter the

Physical and mental strength plays a major role in a football player’s life. Football is a twelve month process, which consists of off- season (six months), in -season (five months), and the Transition (one month). During off-season the football player’s main goal is gaining strength, size, and much power, in-season they continue to practice and work on maintaining the gains in strength during the off-season, and the transition is when they rest and recuperate their body from the physical exercise. Football players are constantly bumped and knocked down during practices

Sport development is the promotion of sports activities for the community. Successful sports development depends largely on effective partnership and networking with a wide range of community groups, service providers, facility operators, National Governing bodies, local authorities and voluntary groups.Fundamentally sport development is about participation and promoting the opportunities and benefits of participation. Participation in sport and physical activity spans a wide range of contexts.Those engaging in sport development must be in the business of devising better and more effective ways of promoting interest and participation or performance in sport.

Sports development services encourage and deliver an extensive range of high quality programmes and initatives designed to succeed in a long term and sustainable increase in sport and physical activity.

Sports have become very popular in America. Parents want their kids to participate in many sports. Many parents also hold high expectations for their kids to be physically fit (Romeo,1984). Teenagers who excel in sports need to be physically fit (Bingham,2009). Many sports stress control over the body and mind (Graves,2000).

In today’s society children often spend more time playing video games and watching TV, instead of playing outside. Sports provide scheduled days and times where they are required to participate in practices and games. This helps the child stay in shape and healthy. If the child participates in track and field type sports or is required to run for the particular sport they participate in, later in life running can help relieve stress from their daily lives. Additionally, as adults some sports can be played either professionally or just for fun. For example someone who played football throughout his educational career, stands a better chance of playing football professionally than someone who did not. My brother Israel, who is a corpsman in the Navy, has taken part in an array of sports such as softball, football, and soccer while at the Naval Air Station in Corpus Christi. The teams where selected on where you worked; such as if you worked in the clinic, they would have separate teams for family practice and dental. All the teams participated in tournaments and the sports were played for healthy competition and fun. Sports that are played into adulthood, for fun or professionally, continue to benefit the participant’s physical

Athletes were asked to place a check mark by the topics that they would like to learn more about. The percentage of athletes selecting each topic is in Table 3. The tests detected significant differences for the topics from weight control, weight gain, and cooking demonstrations. Only 31.2% of the athletes selected “weight gain” as a topic that
