Although the quickly emerging middle class started to find ways to get out of the workplace and find more leisure time to themselves which kind of got things moving. This changed by the end of the 19th century. It started by when in 1871 the Bank Holiday Act gave those workers some paid holidays each year where they could kick back and relax. This didn't mean everyone had off for these holidays even for most, they had no days off. Workers started to get Saturdays off then half days and eventually it would be enough to bulk up that "leisure time" for these workers. Soon enough sports started to become very organized and then eager to spend their open time and even their money outside of the workplace the middle class looked towards sports, whether it was as spectators or…

Sports psychology deals with the mental and emotional aspects of physical performance. It involves describing, explaining and predicting attitudes, feelings and behaviors in an attempt to improve performance. In the film ‘Coach Carter,’ directed by Thomas Carter, sport psychology is used effectively to enhance the performance of a high school basketball team. However, this improved performance is not limited to the basketball court, it extends into the classroom where the students use goal setting, motivation, concentration and confidence control, ultimately to become accepted into college, avoiding a life of drugs, gangs and prison. There were a lot of people to choose from the movie but the one character that I thought went through the most changes throughout the movie was Timo Cruz. Cruz was one of the basketball players that had the most difficult becoming a good athlete and a good student. He was a very immature teenager of the Richmond oiler basketball team but then turned in to one of intelligent, successful young men of the team. During the movie Coach Carter implemented many different techniques to Timo Cruz so he can the man he is today. Some of the techniques that Cruz used were motivation, goal setting, leadership, and over coming stress.…

In addition, the liberal idea of self help saw playing games or participating in leisure time as a higher moral ground and contributing to increase work force. Marxism gave society the idea that to preserve a man’s energy for work there should be less recreational time. Morals and character influenced how a variety of games were played. Often it did not depend on who one in the end, but the character of the player. A player had to show courage, endurance, and play fairly. The work hours also influenced the participation in recreation. The working class would often have to work 14 hour days, 6 days a week. The employer had a sense of entitlement over the worker, thus them having to work for so long. This lead to the employer disregarding leisure time. These working hours would also effect when and where a person would go. As the population grew so did the idea of leisure activity. This had an influence on all aspects of leisure because audiences, spectators, participators, would all be larger. However, one of the largest influences on society and recreational time was the social structure. The social structure influenced who, when, where, and why people would be at a particular event or gathering. These are some of what influenced recreation in 19th century…
