Baking Over Competing in the Olympics
Did you think that baking at home is completely different then competing in the Olympics? Well, they actually aren’t. To bake there is a lot of supplies you need to be successful. You need pans to bake it, bowls to mix in, measuring cups to measure, and utensils to mix. Depending on what you’re making you can have three to one hundred ingredients. To make the food correctly you will also need a recipe and know how to measure the ingredient precisely, to avoid a disaster. Baking is a very fun hobby because of all the different food you can bake. My favorite thing to make is banana bread because it is so easy and simple. Even though the

Baking can also be done for money either as a job or for extra cash. Baking can be a career if you become a professional or decide to go on a television show. Olympic competitors compete for enjoyment as well as a job or to make money. Olympic sponsors pay the participants to wear their logos as they compete. The Olympics are played on television for the enjoyment of the people watching as well.
Competing in the Olympics is actually very alike to baking. They both can be done for personal enjoyment and for others as well. The people who watch the Olympics do it for entertainment, and when you bake the people who eat your food enjoy eating it. Both baking and competing in the Olympics can be perfected after practice and experience.
Even though baking and competing in the Olympics are very similar they also have their differences. People can do baking at a young age even in a small kitchen. To bake you don’t need to be trained and that is what makes baking so fun. When being in the Olympics you have to be dedicated to your sport and train day and night. To compete in the Olympics you need to be a lot more committed then baking, and use extreme physical
The 2018 Winter Olympics are here, which means that snowboarders, skiers, sledders, and many other people get to show off their skills in the most prolific sports events of all time. Winning gold is every athletes’ goal and dream, but just making it into the Olympics is a great achievement itself, and shows how skilled you are. The events, competitors, and history of the Olympics are all huge topics that can be explored and elaborated on endlessly. A single event can be used for many essays and reports, which this essay is an example of.
Professional athletes who make millions of dollars a year tend not to get as much out of the Olympic experience. They fly in just before their event, stay in the most expensive hotel, and fly back home after their event is over. They miss the Olympic village, the interaction with other athletes, and sometimes even the ceremonies.
Professional Athletes are well known in their sport, and tirelessly training and put on strict diet so they can perform as best as they can and
Competition is healthy and athletes train to prepare for the ultimate goal, victory. Today’s athletes have diverse backgrounds, and only need to demonstrate a talent before perfecting their skill. Sports have been around from ancient times to present day, and are an integral part of our society. If modern day athletes knew the outcome of a sporting event could be influenced by the gods, would they still compete? Homer’s epic narratives, Iliad 23 and Odyssey 8, describe athletic contests that occurred in the ancient world (Kyle 53). Homer’s heroes were the athletes, and were held to certain Greek values, they had to be an agathos and have arête in order to compete in sporting events
Sports are part of our lives and inspire a lot of person all around the word to become a champion. I think almost every competitive athlete aspires to complete at the Olympic Games one day and to hope to accomplish awesome performances. Few are those who reach this level and make it a living but we all know that it is possible. Some people say that you can only be an Olympic champion if you have a lot of talent but I don’t believe in this vision. I think you need way more than talent to succeed and that the key to success is hard work, passion, determination and confidence. I this text I will talk about Canadian’s performances and show why we should be proud of our athletes and I will also talk about the emplacement of the games in Rio.
The average person spends about four hours of training and sports pro athletes spend about eleven hours of training and conditioning. Lots of people think they can throw a ball one hundred feet at ninety five miles per hour but when they try they might not even throw it seventy miles per hour. Professional athletes have specialized skills on and off what they play. NFL athletes aren't just good on the field. For example, the average lineman can lift about three hundred and fifty pounds just on a bench press! Professional athletes have a better mindset on training n hard for whatever sport they play. Olympic athletes are confident on winning gold so they train for gold. Professional athletes can do what no others can
Another significant extra-curricular activity I pursued for eight years is figure skating. I started at six and quit at sixteen. I like to consider myself as a successful athlete becuase I competed in lots of competitions and received approximately 30 metals. I competed individually at the regional level and with my synchronized skating team at the national level. During my figure skating career, I tested my dances, skills and solo and have almost all possible levels for each area of the discipline
Would you want to become an Olympic athlete? The Winter Olympic is a very important event because it only happens every four years. Since it’s an important event many athletes work super hard to get ready. Are the Olympics for you? In my opinion, I would not want to become an Olympic athlete because I would have to waste a lot of money, I have to practice a lot, and I would get severely injured.
In “The Fall of the house of Usher” Edgar Allan Poe creates a setting that
Athletic festivals like the Olympics were held in Greece to offer athletes the chance to compete in events to obtain glory and acclaim. Competitors would often size up the competition before they competed and sometimes this led to athletes withdrawing themselves from the competition all together before it even began. This seems ridiculous as these athletes would train year round for these festivals and one would assume they would compete at all costs. However, in ancient Greece, some athletes would rather withdraw and not compete at all than suffer the blow to their ego that comes with losing to another athlete (Scanlon 80). In their minds, the chance of public humiliation should be avoided at all costs.
I relish both individual and team sports. I have been involved at a competitive level in swimming, gymnastics and cycling. I have swum for many years and competed at regional level and in the National Arena League (team event) with fellow swimmers at my club. This required a great deal of dedication and excellent time management in order to balance the volume of training required with continued academic success. I have a love of cycling and have recently begun to compete in road races, with the ultimate aim of reaching elite level. Cycling and swimming are heavily reliant on fitness hence this has inspired my interest
Moreover, chronically use of minocycline has a good safety record. Long-term treatment with minocycline at dosages of up to 200 mg/day, is the highest dosage recommended by the United States Food and Drug Administration ( FDA), is generally safe and well-tolerated in humans. Minocycline’s known and most common side effects, including nausea and mild dizziness. However, according to the British National Formulary, for treatments continued for more than 6 months, it is recommended to monitor every 3 months for hepatotoxicity, pigmentation and systemic lupus erythematosus, been advised that treatment should be discontinued if these develop or if pre-existing systemic lupus erythematosus worsens. The antibiotic properties of minocycline was
To successfully understand what differentiates a professional athlete from an amateur athlete, and the issues that arise from it, we must understand how the International Olympic Committee defines a professional and amateur athlete. According to the “Eligibility Rules of the International Olympic Committee” published in 1964,
The Apple Inc. is a company that is technologically oriented and designs, produces and sells merchandise that have to do with the Computer, Music and Mobile-phone sectors. Apple is known to stand out and easily identifiable through the brand-perception and identification of the brand among all other players within the same industry. In the recent years, Apple has grown to be more of a cult-brand owing this achievement to iTunes, QuickTime and iMaclines. The goal of the company in the short-term is to see the recently innovated iPad grow to the fullest potential in terms of sales iPad as it is considered the most innovative web-browser in the contemporary market.
Baking and cooking are both very different but one takes the cake in my book and that 's baking, whether it be how the end result is much prettier, the comfort of less area to mess up, or that its revolved around sweet things than savoury, all these things contribute to baking being better than cooking! Though cooking is not an exact endeavor I think by comparing and contrasting the differences between baking and cooking many people can come to the conclusion that baking is better for cooking. Many would argue in favor of cooking but I’m here to argue for baking for a multitude of reasons. When one looks at these two methods, I think it’s important to look for meaning behind one’s own thoughts. Many of the things I’m arguing for here have a basis in some of the many things I’ve learned while doing both baking and cooking. Through looking at the benefits of pitfalls of both cooking and baking I think it’s easy to conclude that baking is the superior method of the culinary arts.
