I would like to become a high school cross country coach and I want this to be my dream entry-level job in sports. There are many reasons why I want this job. One reason is because I was on the cross country and track team in high school and I enjoyed be on the both teams. The second why I would like to do this is because I still run on my own and enjoy to this today. Also I would like to bring the joy I got out running and being on the two teams and bring it to other people. To me there are many

Soccer is one of the most popular sports played around the world. Soccer looks easy, but it’s not. You need to know the three important things if you want to play or make a team. The three important things are equipment, offence, and defence. You can’t play if you don’t have the proper equipment. A soccer ball is one of the most important pieces of equipment because without it, you can’t play because you have nothing to kick. All players have to have special shoes called cleats. Cleats are

have funded extracurricular sports programs for decades, but it’s debatable whether or not if it is a good idea. According to several studies, children who are physically active pay more attention in class and become better problem solvers.

As any coach knows, students who participate in after-school sports exercise more, and as a result

Without immigration, some sports would not be as big and growing in size are they are today. For example, the MLS or Major League Soccer is N.A.’s largest major professional league for soccer. The MLS never used to be as big and well known in the past. The clubs have pulled together the best of the players they can get their hand on with the amount of money they possess.

For most Americans, sports are the topics of conversations daily. Whether an athlete is thinking about an important practice they have later that evening, or a fan is discussing the big game from last night, sports play an important role in impacting lives. Lewis Lapham claims sports serve as much more than just games, are unlike any other business in the United States, and deliver illusions of perfect innocence.

practice an individual attempting to break the opposition’s concentration by form of verbal intimidation which us the affirmative team believe is a form of mind games and is fine for sport. Yes, we do agree there are certain boundaries in sledging but if it is kept within its limits it is a fun and entertaining part of sport. It also builds the mental strength of the individual being sledged. My final point is sledging has never escalated into a brawl. My first point is sledging increases the mental strength

The sports phenomenon I plan to address in my final project is March Madness. March Madness is a basketball tournament played during the end of March and the beginning of April consisting of Men and Woman’s NCAA teams. March Madness has been a tradition since 1939. Every year, March Madness brings together fans from schools all over the country to cheer on their teams and watch to see who wins.
