They did workouts together, he said, “I thought I would be pretty good at it, so I gave it a shot.” After senior year he attended college at Emporia State University. His exposure to college athletics was a great experience, one of his favorites. After his college career, his love for the sport did not pass and the only thing to do to keep that passion burning was to become a coach. However, he wasn’t always interested in coaching or teaching. His true dream was to work for the national government and become a park ranger.
Mr. Powell, the founder of Scouting for boys, most likely said this because he is most likely a sports enthusiast who won’t say anything negative about sports in general. This argument is also cynically stated in Myroslavs Tyr’s commemorative speech where he says the “new race” they are creating will unite the “dovelike meekness” of the Slavs (Document 1). Mr. Tyr, a member of the Czech national gymnastics association, most likely said this because he is patriotic and a nationalist who wanted to believe that making this new race would help unify his country. Another prime example of somebody who supported this view was M. Faure- Dujarric who said that whether people mean to or not, they will become internally connected as a result of sports (Document 7). He most likely said this because he knew that many of the sports enthusiasts who were reading his work in The Paris encyclopedia Of Sports will be comforted by that statement in a time where there was a lot of uncertainty .
Friday Night Lights provided all three of these themes plus a whole list of others. This movie also helps to decode why football has such an impact on the youth of America, especially high school football. The 1988 Permian Panther football team deserved to win this game yet they lost, but yet they gained much more out of this experience than the victors did. They learned that football helped turn them into men; it helped them to become much more diverse human beings. Teaching them the basics of being a man while at the same time teaching them the importance of team work and perseverance through whatever life throws at you.
Page 43, “do you like advertising yourself.” He chose advertising meaning to show off, and I think it is put in the right place. Page 45, “I’m a heavy duty quarterback;” he said heavy duty to mean strong. He should have said strong, because it makes more sense. Page 60, “do you ever communicate with your agent,” communicate meaning to speak and I don’t think he should change it. Page 66, “I use bandages to prevent burns.” He used bandages to mean wraps, and there is no replacement for it.
One of the possible alternatives that I have actually begun to take part in since college is flag football. Flag football is the perfect alternative for those parents who want their children to be as safe as possible but still get the benefits that actual football has too. The rules for flag football are clearly laid out by Plumer "Removing the flags around the ball carrier's waist equates to the same thing as a tackle in full contact football. The only requirement of the field is that it is rectangular with two even end zones this free form format allows for flexibility in finding a field. Overtime games are decided by a field goal shootout, and after a touchdown a team is granted one point for kicking and two points for running or passing the ball into the end zone.
It is an American product, used by American’s to make them great. In conclusion, this ad is clearly aimed at long distance runners. The makers of this product should consider marketing it to aspiring runners who are looking to find a painless way to get fit and healthy. It would be a useful in getting them back on the treadmill day after day, despite feeling the ache of muscle groups they never knew existed. Perhaps they can create an additional product to the line, that of a bath
With games being americanised it lead to a famous quote by Vince Lombardi which mirrors the ethos of American society. Ethos in America: Vince Lombardi, an American football coach, was famously quoted saying “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing”, this ethic is mirrored throughout American sport. This underlines that athletes should be more focused by the outcome rather than the process. This can be seen in American colleges with athletes cheating in exams. In addition another strong ethos is ‘The American Dream’ the idea of meritocracy as the more you put in the more you get out and everyone is equal.
Discipline was mainly addressed through the plot. Chavis and his journey to becoming a better person played a significant role in addressing development, and this idea was supported by camera angles and techniques. Development was addressed also through the plot by Manassas winning games of football, but if it were not for the soundtrack and camera angles, the idea would not have been addressed as strongly. These factors were used successfully to back up the plot and create stronger ideas throughout the
As a football coach I believe that one of my main ideals will be the utmost importance placed on success and winning. I cannot agree at all with the direction that young participation sports are going we their viewpoint on winning. I do not feel that a child should be brought up to believe that he will be rewarded solely for attempting a challenge. This kind of backwards philosophy will bring many problems in the near future because we are telling the children that life is about giving the effort, not about actually succeeding. This is not the case in any kind of professional field today because no one really cares how hard you try unless you produce results and overcome the challenges you are faced with.
What is my project? My project for this trimester will be based on training an athlete to become a better quarterback. It will be both deep and authentic because I'm training "one" athlete at "one" position. I'm interested in this project because being a personal trainer is something that I wouldn't mind doing as a career and revolving that Round football, just makes it ten times better. Throughout this project, I hope to learn what workout regimens actually show a positive result and which ones don't.
