    Brittan's Lottery System: Argumentative Analysis

    The Australian Health Survey conducted in April 2012 found that 25 per cent of Australian children and teenagers, aged five to 17 years, are overweight or obese, indicating that we need to foster a more sports-minded culture that encourages children to be physically active. (Better Health, 2015) Using the sports money to help strengthen grass route sports and physical activity is a way out of our youth and adult obesity epidemic. Some experts believe that our success at the Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008 Olympic Games was based on supporting elite sport development. That is, talented youths were identified and supported to achieve success. (Olympic Glory: An Analysis of Australia's Success at the Summer Olympics, 2008) Many believe our nation's long-term sporting success is dependent on strong support for grass roots sports…

    This portfolio is a compilation of the author's works while pursuing a Master's degree in Coaching and Administration. These selected works illustrate the author's professional development gained from the educational experience. Seeking out such professional development opportunities is critical for athletic coaches and administrators. Such training is necessary because it leads to qualified coaches. Every sports program, regardless of the age or skill level, should have a qualified coach lead it. In fact, many would argue there is a moral and legal obligation to have qualified coaches at all levels. There is a legal obligation because unqualified coaches are more likely to teach improper skills and techniques, which puts athletes at…

    Research Paper On Early Sports Specialization

    “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”).…

    Value Of Interscholastic Sports

    Interscholastic athletics provide countless benefits to student-athletes, and many beyond giving them stories and memories to share later on in life. There is the basic value that student-athletes have higher graduation rates than those not in athletics (Krings, 2014). However, that alone is not extending education, rather allowing it to occur. Extending, the NIAAA states that 21st century skills such as perseverance, sportsmanship, and collaboration can best be learned through athletics (NIAAA, 2013, p. 32). Athletics can also focus on the whole picture. For example, athletics can get students’ parents engaged through booster clubs or other parent organizations, and can potentially provide substance-abuse assistance to athletes in need.…

    Benefit Of Sports Essay

    Athletics is ingrained in the human experience and is an integral part of American culture. Because of that, many of my weekends and after school hours have been dedicated to either watching a game or starting one with the kids in the neighborhood. Athletics runs deep in my family. My great uncle was a professional baseball player and my family, including my father, three brothers and a sister, are all very involved with the various team sports. It’s this immersion into various sporting activities that has led me to the understanding that engaging in athletics has a very positive impact in our lives. Additionally, sports are extremely important in building one’s character through hard work, learning to work with others on a team and by learning how to cope with the joy of winning and the inevitability of losing.…
