    Minority professionals in sports have to deal with more than being accepted in the sports industry, they have to deal with their own social identity. It’s the background that they come from which shapes them into the professionals that they are. Also it’s not necessarily if the white man will accept them into their world, their also worried about being shunned by their own race. They are attempts to create and at the same time understand people's own identities, which are critical to self-assessment and making career and personal choices that closely align with their goals and values (Murphy, 2005). Noted these are all things that shape a person and how they are perceived by someone else. The vast majority of participants did not mention their…

    As the young and naive children we were, adults always told us to never give up on our dreams. This statement usually applied to the impractical dreams of becoming president of the United States, transforming into a superhero, or playing alongside professional athletes. These were all big ideas and aspirations that fueled our carefree childhoods, and were appropriate practice for shaping the paths to our true passions we discover later on in our lives; particularly in high school. High school is where teenagers are able experiment and begin to understand themselves as individuals, rather than what everybody else likes to do. Of course there are exceptions to those who are the “followers” rather than the “leaders”, but I’d like to claim I had…

    Being a professional basketball player in the NBA is a dream of many athletes. However, that dream is very competitive. It's estimated that three out of every 10,000 players make the NBA. That doesn’t sound very promising to someone who enjoys the game and has natural skill and talent. So what can someone do who understands their limitations but doesn’t want to give up their dream? Playing basketball overseas is a great alternative for many athletes.…

    Professional athletes have nothing but family and their sport to worry about. They don't have to worry about school work or anything else from college life ,because professional sports are their everyday job. Everything is much more fast-paced and much more difficult because there are so many great athletes with many of the same goals and mentalities. In professional sports most athletes have a drive to get better, whether it is for their family, their hometown, or even themselves. Other professional athletes may have a drive to get better just because of the money they get payed for doing it. The salary varies drastically from each sport. There are five major professional teams in the United States these include: basketball(NBA), baseball(MLB), football(NFL), soccer(MLS), and hockey(NHL). NBA stands for “National Basketball Association”, MLB stands for “Major League Baseball”, NFL stands for “National Football League”, MLS stands for “Major League Soccer”, and NHL stands for “National Hockey League.” The NBA has the best yearly salary with an average of $5.15 million and the average career lasts 4.8 years so they earn $24.7 million in their career. MLB players earn an average of $3.2 million a year with their careers lasting 5.6 years on average so they earn around $17.9 million in their careers. NHL players average $2.4 million a year with their careers lasting 5.5 years earning…

    I believe that colleges should be allowed to pay athletes. The players risk injury, devote their time, may forego earnings while playing and will not, in most cases, be able to play professional ball. Colleges make often over 50 million-100 million dollars in revenues because ticket sales, sponsorship rights and the sale of broadcast rights. The NCCA sold broadcast rights over to its annual men’s basketball tournament for over $770 million per season. In 2011, NCAA members paid their association president, Mark Emmert, $1.7 million. Head football coaches at the 44 NCAA Bowl Championship Series schools received on average $2.1 million in salaries. The highest paid public employee in 40 of the 50 U.S. states is the state university's head football or basketball coach. After all this money that the college profits, none of it seems to go to the college athletes, many of the players seem to not graduate from college and therefore shouldn’t they get paid for all of their hard work.…

    My hypothesis was different than what I expected it to be. Before starting my research I had hypothesized that athletes were going to be more prone to stress than non athletes since both of the groups are involved in one or more advanced placement classes but on top of that athletes are involved in sports. Based on the data I got back from all of the students in two of the AP Literature and Composition classes, it was the opposite. A majority of non athletes students were continuously stressed compared to a majority of athletes who said they were stressed on a weekly basis. Forty-one point four percent of the non athletes were continuously stressed compared to eleven point five percent of the athletes who were stressed continuously. More than…

    Education is one of the least important factors on talented athlete's lives. What is the point of trying if the pro ranks are the only incentives these athletes have in mind? Most top college athletes are enrolled for one or two years and then turn professional. There is no benefit for them to go all four years and receive the education that is needed in the now globally competitive workplace. If college athletes, were paid, then there would be premium put on earning a degree, and if pro sports do not work out, these college athletes are then capable of being successful participants in the now growing economic workplace.…

    43.3 hours a week 3.3 hours more than the average American work week. That’s how many hours the Division I athlete devotes to their sport. That is basically a job. The school makes billions of dollars from these athletes from donations, ticket sales, media rights, advertising, and anything else with a price tag. But the athletes see none of that money not even money for food, rent or just spending money. The NCAA currently produces $11 billion in annual revenue from college sports, that’s more money than the estimated total league revenue for both the NBA and the NHL. College athletes should be paid because the amount of money the colleges make off the athletes and the amount of time the athletes put into their sport.…

    College sports have been around for many years now. Many college athletes have come and gone, playing for their respective school. Before, college athletes would participate in college sports for college spirit and to represent their school. In today’s time, many NCAA Division 1 college games are being televised and promoted by the colleges themselves. According to U.S News “The NCAA, as a whole, makes 6 billion dollars annually”. Many colleges also have wealthy supporters who spend lots of many on sports programs. Do you ever wonder where all that money goes? I know for fact that college athletes get no part in all that money. College students, whether they are an athlete or not, need money to get them through college. College athletes should…

    Athletes, under the age of 21 years, should be eligible to be drafted into a professional sports team. Playing in a professional sport is a career and setting a limit based on age to when someone can start his or her career is absurd. “Currently, to be eligible for the NBA Draft, a player has to be at least 19-years-old or one year removed from high school.” (Jessop.2014) In the one year removed from high school, the athlete can choose to attend college and declare if he or she would be eligible to be drafted after that year. There are many benefits for athletes to graduate from college before starting his or her career in a professional sport, but that decision should be left solely to them without age restrictions. “The vast majority of players feel a player should have the right to make a living. If he has the talent and wants to make money to help his family, he should have that right. It's just a matter of principle." (Broussard.2010)…

    Realizing one’s peak performance level because it affords the athlete the best opportunity to monetize their efforts on the field in the form of an athletic scholarship or a professional career. Opponents of professionalism in amateur sports argue that professionalized amateur sport robs children of a ‘normal’ childhood and will invariably lead to burnout and apathy from the participants. I personally tend to agree with those who oppose the professionalization of amateur sport. The two main reasons why I oppose the professionalization of amateur sports is because I believe travel teams and organizations like the AAU take the fun out of sports and because I believe that too much strenuous training at an early age can lead to stunted mental and physical…
