Research shows that leaders with high emotional intelligence are more effective and that transformational leadership allows for coaches like John Harbaugh to be an effective decision maker (Bliss, 2005). Coach Harbaugh is effective not only by his great play calling on the field, but also with his ability to pull on and arouse players such as Ray Lewis to further spread a contagious work ethic all over the Ravens organization. John Harbaugh’s ability to arouse players and create goals for them, have allowed his players give extra effort and maximize their potential. This aides them in making big plays in stressful situations such as the AFC North Championship game
Public schools also had a significant, arguably the most significant, influence on the development of association football. Many of the boys who attended public schools ended up with high ranking posts across the empire, this allowed the game to spread all across the world, as far as africa and india. The movement of these schoolboys onto university also allowed the game to develop as many of the teams set up at university were vital in setting up the first major league, and a number of these schoolboys went on to set up the national governing body of association football. These governing bodies meant that football now became more standardised, with the creation of a codified set of rules for all teams playing the game. With this step towards proffesionalism in football many working class men saw playing football as a way to escape to povery of the city and as it were go from ‘rags to riches’.
This new grip technology should be popular in sports that need a good grip to increase athletic ability. To see a change in athletic ability in these areas with 3M’s technology the company should run some testing.

While doing this testing I would use surveys and focus groups to see if they are interested in these products. All this would be important before actually entering the market.
(Shank, Matthew 2009) The personalities of the NFL’s target market are very energetic and fanatical. The more people that are excited about supporting their team, the bigger the target market of the NFL. The values of the target market describe what is expected from the National Football League, the football teams, and the individual coaches and players. A case in point would be everything taking place on time, well equipped facilities, and well organized events. The activities and interests of the target market would be the football games taking place.
"So You Wanna Bulk Up?" Especially in this era of multi-million dollar sport contracts, full college scholarships, and the high level of competition at every level of sport, many athletes that are involved with physical contact sports try to "bulk up" or gain weight so that they may become stronger, improve their sports performance, and better protect their bodies from the physical contact demanded on a routine basis. The request to gain a certain amount of weight from collegiate coaches and team recruiters to these young, highly impressionable high school players, in order to better their chances of being considered a serious college prospect is not uncommon. In fact, the goal of this junior high school basketball player (we'll call him "David" for the purpose of this report) to be in the best physical condition possible and desperately trying to meet the demands of certain college sport team recruiters, is very similar to other high school athletes that are presented with the opportunity of continuing their sporting careers at the collegiate level.

Tainted Success The United States is a country that thrives on competition, it is a country that makes a holiday of major athletic events, and puts its top athletes on a pedestal of greatness. Since sports is held at such a high standard in America, the issue of steroids should be taken seriously as it is an increasing problem on not only the professional level, but the collegiate and high school level as well. Year after year we hear of new high profile athletes, and even young athletes getting caught taking these performance enhancing drugs.
