In this paper, I will prove that I entered the discourse community of sand volleyball players this past summer by establishing my credibility, gaining knowledge of the game, and learning to influence the emotions of other members of the community. These skills are important to everyday life because proficiency with ethos, logos, and pathos appeals will assist me in joining other discourse communities in the future. By writing this paper, I am able to show how I have already experienced joining a discourse community, and also give a small look into a part of my life. The first step in becoming a member of a discourse community is gaining the necessary knowledge about that specific subject. In my case, it is sand volleyball.
First, be enrolled in a minimum of three courses (which means nine credit hours or equivalent) in the term in which they are competing. Second, you must successfully complete a minimum of three full courses, or six half courses (minimum of 18 credit hours or equivalent) during the academic year. In the NCAA their requirements work a little differently when it comes to being and staying eligible. Student-athletes must be enrolled in a full-time program of studies as defined by the institution. This just means that you can not be less than 12 semester hours each term.
Making the Basketball Team Sabriya Finch 3/1/2010 11:00 a.m. class Dr. Nicolette Rose I was attending Norcross High School in the tenth grade when I decided to join the basketball team. I had been playing basketball ever since I was five. Basketball was my favorite sport, but the only time I played on a team was when I was 8 at the YMCA. When I got older my family and friends would ask me if I planned to play in high school. At the time I was not really sure because I was afraid of not making the team.

Sports sociology is a sub-discipline of sociology which focuses on sports as social phenomena. University student Craig Crossley who has done numerous presentations on Professor Peter Figueroa, Figueroa developed a tool to investigate the issues surrounding access and equality in sport and physical activity. Figueroa’s frame work was constructed over 5 different levels individual, interpersonal, institutional, structural and cultural. We will be focusing on the Institutional level. We will be using Figueroa’s Framework to identify inequalities that I have encountered during my time playing basketball.
I had many hopes and dreams about my basketball career. I pushed myself to become the best basketball player I could possibly become. I spent many hours working on my game, working on my skills, and working out to better myself. I was a part of my high school varsity team and took the season very seriously. This team was my second home.

Have you ever gotten more than you bargained for? Well I don’t like to put myself in situations that make me feel uncomfortable, but sometimes its hard to avoid. Whenever I volunteer to do anything I make sure it something I’ll enjoy, so when I found out that the YMCA was looking for volunteers to coach youth basketball, I jumped right on it. The YMCA is a nationwide recreational program that allows almost anyone to participate in its year around activities. I had volunteered before at the YMCA but this was my first time volunteering for a daily summer program.
Case Study Analysis Paper 1: A Tale of Two Coaches Clive S. Choat Ken Blanchard College of Business, MGT-600 10 December 2013 Case Study Analysis Paper 1: A Tale of Two Coaches Based on our learning from week one of our class, the purpose of this paper is to discuss the leadership perspectives manifested in both Bobby Knight and Mike Krzyzewski, coaches who have made significant marks in their field in college basketball. I hope to be able to identify the power bases both coaches rely upon, as well as whether their actions are more aligned with either a managerial role or leadership role. In addition, I hope to identify how significant the leadership traits have influenced their leadership, based on the five-factor personality model from our textbook readings, and has this affected the performance effectiveness of the coaches. I begin my report with some background information about the two coaches. Bobby Knight is the former head basketball coach for the United States Military Academy (USMA), Indiana University and Texas Tech University.
