Big Ballerz Event Case Study
1. Name of event and consulting company: SAS Skills challenge. We chose this name for our event because our group members’ name starts with an S and an A. Because this is our event, that we are hosting, we wanted it to have something that has to do with us so that when we look back to this event in the future we can say that it is our event. The name of our consulting company is called Big Ballerz Event. The reason for this name is because we as a group usually create events outside of school that usually ends up big and due to these events we end up making a lot of money. When you make a lot of money people call it “ballin” in money. Therefore we joined Big and Ballin and made it “Big Ballerz Event”. Ballin was changed to ballerz so that it can flow with the rest and sound catchier.

Slogan: Be in it to Win it. The reason for this slogan is that to win our skills challenge not only you have to physically be in it, but you must mentally be in it. Because, if your mentally not into anything you won’t succeed in it. If your stressed, having anxiety or coming to the event thinking you won’t win, are negative mental thoughts that will give you negative impacts. The skills challenge includes your physical and mental ability to believe that you can win. This is why our slogan is “Be in it to Win it”.
4. Educational/social justice aspect: For our educational aspect of this event, we want to let both genders know about how they can join the NBA and WNBA. This is important because not everyone knows the skills and the academic performances they need in order to join the league. This is a big problem that we have solve because a lot of people in our school wants to join the NBA and WNBA but they don’t know how they can get drafted either from high school or university. This is why we thought that this would be a great chance for us to teach them about

    When Lisa was in middle school she already began towering over everybody at a height of a little over 6 feet. She had no intention of ever playing basketball, and it wasn’t until a classmate begged her to come out for the team, that she actually began playing. When she reached eighth grade she transferred to a school that had no women’s basketball team, so she joined the boy’s team. She not only did very well there, but it boosted her confidence and enhanced her performance. At the age of 14 she started getting hundreds of letters from colleges and universities all around the country, which was before she even entered high school. In 1986 she enrolled in Morningside High School and started every game on their girls basketball team. She holds a record for most…

    You may just think this is a girl shooting a basketball, but in all actuality it is so much more. This is the first game that the Tulane Women's played in New Orleans after Katrina. The Tulane women's basketball team had not played a basketball in New Orleans for ten months. They beat Central Connecticut 62-50 and it gave them hope. Tulane went on finish 15-12 for the year.

These ladies really care about each other and the team unity they had made them a strong team. The Hurricane was a horrible event but it brought Tulane Women's basketball team together because…

    To give this league the popularity it needed, the girls needed to work hard to be the leagues top players in every team. They all acquired the chance to go to training camps and try out for teams that would be placed into the league. The amount of work they displayed to get placed on the team showed that they wanted to earn the respect of the country and show that women could do more than just care for kids or be in charge of the kitchen. They worked extremely hard to show that women could play the sport as easily as men could. For example, this hardworking value was best portrayed by Kit, one of the individuals who played for the league. She got her sister to play because that was the only way they would take her and she did not want to stay on a farm for the rest of her life. Her persistent attitude helped her reach her goal and she became one of the top players of her time just like her sister.…

    Truer to the game by Randy Horick is a short story, possibly an excerpt from something larger, about how women’s basketball more clearly reflects the essence of the game. He claims that for a multitude of reasons that I will discuss later in this, that women’s collegiate basketball and the WNBA are representative of the true nature of the sport. More shots from behind the 3-point line, less fouls, plays that happen at a speed you can understand, and more behind the scenes stuff is what differentiates men and women’s. He cites pressure to win as his main argument for the cause of the differences in the two. This pressure to win creates an environment of hostility; athletes only play at the collegiate level for a few short years, not earning…

    There are numerous reasons why people should overcome their challenges including: thinking positive, not giving up, and getting support from other people instead of avoiding them according to “Facing the Giants” by Alex Kendrick, the director. Overcoming obstacles is to master, prevail over, or surmount something that is difficult. For instance, to conquer a challenge people need to think positively and have an optimistic attitude. In accordance with the video, Brock, the football player, says, “I’m gonna give you my best” (Kendrick). This shows that he is thinking enthusiastically because Brock knows that he can go as far as he can and wants to since he gives his best.…

    When I first arrived at Rotunda D I thought to myself great I get to stand the whole time because there is not one open seat. Dean Nickels started the event off by introducing Scott Naggy, head boys basketball coach. Naggy then talked a little about how they recruit players for South Dakota State University. He then introduced two of his players. The first was from the West side of Chicago, he talked about how he would play basketball to escape from the hardships of growing up in West Chicago. The second player was from Michigan, he explained how basketball was the main sport played in that area. He explained how the teachers there didn't care how the students do in there class they will just pass them to get rid of them. He…

    This is an amazing feat because nobody took the ball out of a guy's hands just as he was about to dunk! If that wasn’t enough, Junior races back to the other side of the court and pulls back to take a three. It goes and soars through the air like a bird. Finally, it swishes right through the net without making a sound but, at the same time, crushing all of Wellpinit high school varsity basketball team’s hopes and dreams. Junior continued to display his A-game on every court, bringing them the championship title of the varsity league. The reservation team, Wellpinit continued to go on a losing streak from that point on. We from our seats don’t understand the damage that has been done. But, from a Native-Indian’s perspective of dealing with negligence their whole life, the Wellpinit basketball team’s future dreams of making it into the NBA would be crushed and destroyed while the privileged whites continued to shine. Realizing that, Junior continued to be a member in Wellpinit and forgive all of the people that dishonoured him in his home town. He might be a winner in Rearden but now, he’s a winner in his reservation of…

    Exposure is an important piece of the puzzle in pushing for equality, not only in the world of basketball, but the world of sports as a whole. Although, the WNBA is steadily climbing as the Forbes list reported “the league welcomed its current president, Laurel J. Richie, known for her marketing acumen, and introduced Boost Mobile as a marquee marketing partner. In 2012, the draft moved to ESPN’s headquarters. In 2013, the WNBA launched a new brand identity, extended its television partnership with ESPN, the "3 To See" rookies gained mainstream attention, and season 17 ended with record growth.” (Glass) The WNBA may not be on the same financial level or branding level as the NBA currently, but the league is now equipped with franchise owners…

    The Big Game Case Study

    Reflecting on the case studies presented, I believe my biggest take away was from the thoughts Dr. Jungmann provided at the end of the debate of “The Big Game” case study. The class debate was focused on whether the leader should follow policy versus taking into account the personal anecdotes around the student to make an exception. Dr. Jungmann’s thoughts on the student’s responsibility in addressing this issue with the teacher turned the focus of the debate. It seems that a leader is often defined as “the” decision maker. In reality, a strong leader facilitates the decision making process by bringing the right people together at the right time to make the right decision.…

    The impact of Title IX

    It’s hard to imagine that just forty years ago, young women were not admitted into many colleges and universities, athletic scholarships were rare, and math and science was a realm reserved for boys. Girls square danced instead of playing sports, studied home economics instead of training. The girls could become teachers and nurses, not doctors or principals. According to the National Federation of the state High School Associations, female students receive 1.3 million fewer opportunities to participate in high school athletics than their male peers in the 2006-2007 school years. The result of Title IX women have benefited from involvement in professional sports.…

    Most of us have had the dream at some point in our life. That dream of draining a last-second three pointer to win an NBA championship, or hit a home run to win a World Series. This is a dream that every human should be able to chase. Unfortunately, until recently some people were not able to turn this dream into reality simply because of the color of their skin. Racism cause widespread hatred throughout the entire sports community and the entire world as a whole. Through bravery, persistence, and determination, several African-American individuals and teams have knocked down the wall of racism in sports, and paved the way for African Americans to pursue their dreams of playing collegiate and professional sports. Some of these teams and players…

I asked Corin what games that she looked forward to season, she replied “I would have to say Mayor's cup and our game against Herculaneum, which would decide if we are conference champs.” I then asked her what her personal goals were for the season and then what their team goals were. For her personal goals she replied “Have less turnovers this year.” As for the team goals, she said “To win Conference and Districts and also to be over 500 this year.”…

    My topic for Survey is the opinions of men and women on the idea of women one day being admitted into the NBA. I have given out twenty surveys to people at my workplace and there are ten women and ten men who I am surveying. I will interview two of these people one male and one female. The reason why I am going to survey and then interview is because I would like to see the survey takers reaction to the questions on the survey. I want to see an in-depth reaction that I couldn’t possibly see from a bubble on a survey. The questions I will be asking would be simple and straight forward, such as “In your opinion can a woman physically handle playing in the NBA” and “Is it fair for women to play in the NBA when women have their own league aka the WNBA”. These questions are simple yes or no questions but for a more in-depth answer I will be conducting a one on one interview with one of each person from the opposite sex. My reasoning for conducting this research is that I would like to find out people opinions on this subject because I feel this could be an actuality in the next five to ten years. Based on the law of averages there will eventually be a woman in the NBA, only time will tell. Many NBA players have commented on this and there haven’t been too many negative comments that would discourage this idea but there have been concerning comments such as “she wouldn’t be able to bang around with the big boys” a quote from Shane Battier of the Miami Heat. Along with the comments from players there are comments from coaches as well, such as UConn’s women’s basketball head coach Geno Auriemma who said, “it would be a sham” “The fact that a woman could actually play right now in the NBA and compete successfully against the level of play that they have is absolutely ludicrous.” Of course this would be a very controversial move by the NBA to let a woman play in their league and it would have its pros and cons but we will never know until it happens. These comments lead back…
