Phong’s nickname was "Tiger" because of his bravery. Earl Woods was an African American, while Kultida was a native of Thailand; these two different ethnic backgrounds shaped Tiger into the activist for equal rights that he is today. Tiger’s father had a passion for golf and decided to get his only child involved in the sport he loved. At the age of three Tiger received his first set of clubs from Earl and started playing golf on a regular basis. He grew up playing golf just on the weekends, because the priority in his life was still school.

I got 6th place in the tournament and was not happy but I gained experience and never gave up. My father and I drove back to Dallas and were greeted by the rest of my family who were all over the country and some in different countries. My Spring Break was fun because I got to spend five days with my dad and we did what we both love to do. I was upset that I did not win but you can’t always win and you have to learn how to lose and be a good loser. Spring Break 2018 was one for the record
From the movie MoneyBall we see big names/good players in sports means good teams and good teams means more money for the franchise which leads to more commercialization and ultimately what everyone wants more money. Another example of commercialization in sports is Jordon Spieth he just one on the biggest stage in golf The Masters he is 21 years old and not only did he make 1.3 million dollars for winning but he is now making just as much or more with sponsorships since he has won. These examples illustrate the fact that sports have been highly commercialized. Sport has changed its form and elements. It is not just entertainment, sports have gained commercial recognition.

The Robertson’s are also Christians and firm believers in Jesus. The fourth season premiere drew 11.8 million viewers, the most-watched reality television show in history. Now that you have an understanding of what the show Duck Dynasty is about, let us look at how it would have a positive influence in people’s lives. Like I had mentioned earlier, the Duck Commander business had started in a shed 25 years ago by Phil Robertson. The business started out as a man’s love for duck hunting and duck callers.
Although Armstrong persistently denied allegations of doping, even stating he was the most tested athlete in the world and suing accusers of libel, he finally admitted to doping in a television interview conducted by Oprah Winfrey in 2012. Armstrong was a child athlete, an Iron Kids Triathlon winner at the young age of 13 as well as national triathlon champion in 1989 and 1990. Winning the Tour de France seven consecutive times was no easy feat, he was a champion, a legend. Sponsors such as Nike, RadioShack, Anheuser-Busch and Oakley believed in him and made him wealthy. He faced many critics throughout his victory years, and continuously denied every allegation of cheating by doping.
In the 1996-1997 season, NBA’s Michael Jordan was paid $33,450,000 for the year, or just over $1.06 per second, an outrageous amount of money for a player to play the game he loves to play. He was paid $178,000 a day whether he played or not. There is no doubt that professional athletes are talented, but when Kevin Garnett, who is not even a college graduate, makes over 16 million dollars a year, that becomes a problem. While that may seem outrageous, deliberations over pro athletes salaries are nothing new. When baseball’s Babe Ruth was reportedly asked about earning a larger salary than the United States President Herbert Hoover during the Great Depression in the 1930’s Ruth defended his salary in response, “Why not?

After reading Andre Agassi's book I am astonished to find that one can complete such perfection in a life time. Andre Agassi had his life mapped out before he had left his mothers womb. He was forced to play tennis and become a tennis legend by his rather demanding father and was robber of his childhood in the process. By the age of seven Andre was hitting 2500 tennis balls a day that were being flung at him by 'the dragon' (a very powerful base ball launcher). As a child Andre never liked tennis, but was just expected to play it and play it well.
