    Daniel Coyle begins his article “How to Grow a Super-Athlete” with a personal anecdote about his daughter, Zoe’s, endeavor to learn how to bat. Despite being athletically inclined, in Coyle’s words, she ‘pretty much stunk” (Coyle 3). Eventually, after abundant misses, Zoe starts to hit the ball, starting with foul balls and ending with a solid hit. This begs the question, what defines talent? Is it innate or learned? In a map of famous athletes’ locations, organized by sport, there are general scatterings of players in some places with more dense congregations in others. This implies that talent is greatly affected by culture, that places where a sport is considerably popular or imbedded in society will have a greater number of talented players.…

    Blood pressure is the pressure the blood exerts on the artery walls. The pressure increases when the heart contracts and decreases as the heart relaxes. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) is the pressure exerted during the contraction phase of the heart where as diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is the pressure exerted when the heart relaxes. This pressure is recorded as SBP over DBP and is measured in millimetres of mercury Lawrence (2006). The British Hypertension Society has classified levels of BP as highlighted below in Table 1. As blood flows it has to overcome various variables including that of total peripheral resistance (TPR) which may include fatty deposits. Internal forces may stop the rate of flow and cause pressure to rise and over time without lifestyle changes and PA can ultimately lead to clotting and heart attack (MI)…

    In the world we live in today, there are many different views towards an individual subject matter. While we may think control our lives, the world around us shares our perspective. 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.…

    “Commercialized society plays a role in encouraging early sports specialization with endless commercials, advertisements, and training programs being geared towards targeting young athletes. Nonetheless, an undeniable problem exists in a culture that encourages specialization before the age of 10. Before this age, young athletes are typically not psychologically mature enough to understand the importance, responsibility, commitment and ramifications of year-round training in a sport (Ferguson, Stern 2016). From this, both physical and social developmental issues can arise from overuse of young growing bodies, as well as mental fatigue and burnout. Overall, it is fundamentally wrong that “the decisions that shape… childhood and youth sports careers often aren’t made by the kids” (“Kids Specializing”).…

    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…
