41: Prepubescent Strength Training
STRENGTH TRAINING AND PREPUBESCENT YOUTH The value placed on the importance of winning in professional sports has hit an all-time high. The astronomical amount of money being spent in the entertainment field of athletics has dictated a win-at-all-costs mentality that has trickled all the way down to ... two full rest days between exercise bouts as opposed to a one rest day minimum for mature weight lifters. REASONS TO IMPLEMENT STRENGTH TRAINING Throughout the country and the world there are literally hundreds of sports and athletic programs, both organized and recreational, in which children can participate. It is thought that the children who are involved in these programs can benefit from strength training in many ways.

43: Greed In Sports
Greed Among Professional Athletes Due to the greediness of sports figures, professional athletes are not punished in the same manner as other professionals are. It is like they are in a completely different group that uses an entirely different set of morals. Team owners care more about making their money that they do about setting a good example for young kids and making professional sports fun again rather than a business. Three good examples of this greediness are Roberto Alomar, Warren Sapp, and Dennis Rodman. Team owners and their respective leagues need to do something to turn this situation around before they have murderers and rapists playing sports for millions of dollars a year. Roberto Alomar makes 5.5 million dollars a year due to his five Gold Gloves. He is one of major league baseball’s best all around players and ...
44: Crime 2
When people think of high salaries they turn to the world of professional sports, because that is where athletes are paid outrageous amounts to do the things they love. Although some would argue that the athletes deserve these wages, I fell that not all professional sports are paid adequately. For an example of this statement take into consideration the time and effort that most pro athletes spend at perfecting there acquired talent. They are fine tuned instruments, who work hard to do their jobs on the field, on the court, or on the course. They do this because they love the game. Golfers don t get paid as much as other Pro-sports, but do their job just as well. Athletes are paid way to much, but golfers are not. Now take into consideration how much professional baseball players make a season. The average earned income in ...

46: Little League Coaches
... coach is to argue calls and buy ice cream for the players after the game. It is sad that people do not appreciate the influence that a coach can have on a child. Kids play sports because they have fun and they can dream of the fame and glory of professional athletics. Sports have many benefits besides entertainment values. There are many role models for children in the world of athletics. Normally, it is the professional athletes who are thought of as the role models for kids. Certainly, professional athletes can have a positive influence on children. But the true role models in sports aren't the superheroes of the sports world, they are the everyday people who strive to influence the lives of youth. It is safe to say that many kids will never have a relationship ...
47: How The Scales Of Inequality A
Introduction I am using the sports industry as a medium to illustrate how the scales of inequality are weighted in favour of males. In particular, we are looking at the ways in which women are breaking through the barriers into areas that could not have been envisaged fifty years ago. The sports industry is extremely diverse and is currently experiencing rapid growth and development. The industry¡¦s profits run into billions each year. The business of sport has certainly not been immune or isolated from gender inequalities. Traditionally, professional sports management has been the exclusive realm of males. Sport is often regarded as one of societies most traditional male institutions. However, one of the most important phrases of the ¡¥90¡¦s¡¦ has been ¡¥gender ...
48: Halberstam
... been doing, and I want to try to do something like this. It's a very influential piece." Halberstam has since gone on to become one of the most respected observers of our time, penning sports books including "The Summer of '49" (reissued in 1997) as well as political jewels like "The Best and the Brightest" (1973, and a 20th-anniversary edition in 1993). Now he's paying tribute to some of the top sports reporting ever put on paper. His most recent project was to serve as guest editor of "The Best American Sports Writing of the Century" (Houghton Mifflin), part of an annual series edited by Glenn Stout. This latest installment, published in May, covers the century, an encompassing look at the development of sports writing that ...
49: Greed In Sports
Greed In Sports Recently Michael Jordan wanted to de-certify the union of the National Basketball Association, because he felt he could never make what he was “worth” under the current agreement. Michael Jordan had an estimated income ... all the same, suddenly develops a greed that is unimaginable. Not only do they want to get paid, but they want to get paid more than anyone has a right to for playing a game. Sports will always be the owners business, the players job, and the fans game. I think the owners and players often forget this, but the fans are the ones who pay for it. The players see ... willingness to pay. The solution for all of this madness is a salary cap. Baseball and basketball due have salary caps now, but $35 million divided by twelve players is hardly a cap. In all sports they should have a maximum of $100,00 for rookies and $1 million for everyone else. Athletes do entertain millions of people, so I think they should be paid well. No athlete would ever ...
