Sports Management Someone once said‚ "There are those who make things happen‚ those who watch things happen‚ and those who wonder what happened." I consider myself one of those rare people who really knows how to "make things happen." I have gone from being a follower to being a leader‚ from being someone who was shy and uncertain to a person who is self-confident and assertive. It has been a remarkable metamorphosis‚ and it has changed my future professional plans and personal goals. The

They had a very low chance of getting into a college to even get that degree. If schools are a problem‚ then sports are an even bigger problem (Women’s Sport Foundation).

many reasons why the number of minorities that participate is sports vary from sport to sport. Race plays a big part in sports as well as in our society.

Over the years there have been some great black sports players‚ in almost all sports. Michael Jordan‚ OJ Simpson‚ Mohamed Ali‚ Bo Jackson‚ just to

“Is golf a sport?” I get this question all the time. People say is that you just stroll around swinging a club at a ball. A real golfer goes to the course every single day no matter the weather. They work harder than anybody‚ golfers walk miles a day dealing with every kind of weather. What do other sports do? When the weather is awful‚ practice is canceled or takes place indoors. Golf may seem straightforward but it’s not‚ there are 34 clear-cut rules. The rules can be as simple as a player may

After watching the video “Big Hits‚ Broken Dreams‚” it opened my eyes tremendously to the risks of playing contact sports at a young age. The debate question that I feel is the biggest question to ask is‚ do the risks outweigh the benefits to young people playing contact sports? I think that this is the question that most parents ask themselves when their son decides to play a sport like football.
