Professional Athletes Persuasive Speech
As a kid everyone grows up watching sports. The only problem is these children’s dreams of becoming professional athletes are destroyed by their parents and piers at an early age. Everyone always tells children to think of a more realistic job than becoming an athlete because the odds are against them. But why can’t they become professional athletes? How do parents know at such a young age that their child won’t be a stud on the field? The answer is they don’t. This is why I have compiled a list to teach children and adults the art of shooting a basketball. First, you need to find a hoop to shoot on. Any hoop will work. It can be indoor or outdoor and it doesn’t even need to have a net, just as long as the ball fits through the rim. Next,

    Honestly, I like to think of baseball as an indefinite chess match, and you can sit there and try to take pieces early in the game or you can let your master plan kind of evolve and if you go out and get these big name pitcher and hitters who are 28-29 in the prime of their career and give them these 7-8 year contracts worth 200 million dollars. Well in that fifth, sixth, seventh year. They start breaking down and you’re paying them 20-30 million dollars a year and you can’t put enough good pieces around a single player to make up for…

Authors David Epstein: “The Sports Gene” and Malcolm Gladwell: “The Outliers” have subjective reasoning as to what an individual must do to reach the highest standards. Epstein has a more reasonable and evidential take on the pathway of an individual; he acknowledges different views while maintaining the concept of innate talent and practice.…

    It is Superbowl Sunday. You have family and friends over to watch the game. The room fills with the aroma of pizza, wings, and nachos. You hear the sounds of laughter and talking; that all stops instantaneously; as the quarterback receives the ball and gets tackled,he does not get back up. Turns out the quarterback has severe brain trauma and will not be able to speak in complete sentences. This can be prevented with the end of the National Football League or NFL. The NFL is a repulsive greedy company that only cares about money and not about the wellbeing of others. It is time to shine the light on the NFL so people can see the malice that they create by shoving their problems under the rug. The NFL needs to be stopped before it…

    $53.4 Million the combined salary of the top 15 paid coaches in division 1 college football, $0 the combined salary of all student-athletes. Over the past few decades, college athletics have gained popularity across the United States. Whether it is football, basketball, or baseball, ever since the turn of the century, intercollegiate sports have brought in a surplus of revenue to their respective Universities. A recent study found that the University of Texas’ Athletic Program had the highest revenue of any other University at a little over $120 million. Yet with this large sum of money, NO college athletes are legally compensated for their work. According to NCAA rules, “You are not eligible for participation in a sport if you have ever: Taken pay or the promise of pay, for competing in that sport”. While it may seem odd and unjust to pay college athletes, the reality is that compensation of such athletes is a necessity not only to keep competition at a steady level in college athletics, but also to encourage students to graduate and get their college degrees.…

    UFC, MMA, Ultimate fighting. This is one of the most exciting, exhilarating, and fierce sport in the world today. So why does it need to be banned?
