-- Usain Bolt on winning the 100 meters in 9.63 seconds, a new Olympic record. - Jon Krawczynski -- Twitter http://www.twitter.com/APKrawczynski --- STRIKE A POSE Winning an Olympic gold medal takes 9.63 seconds. Telling the world's media how you did it and explaining how you feel takes a whole lot longer. Usain Bolt still had a line of trackside television cameras and radio microphones to please one hour after his 100-meter winning run. Most want the now two-time 100-meter champion to strike his signature lightning bolt pose one more time.
He claims he hasn’t seen the inside of a gym in four years; he is disappointing in himself with the shape he is now. Mostly because 4 years ago, he was closer to developing abs than in the shape he is now. Burroughs says himself, “I would never be with somebody who had abs.” Why acquire abdominal muscles in the first place? But his determination is set, and Burroughs made it clear he won’t stop until he gets abs. Burroughs decides to use very odd techniques to pursue his goal; for example, vomiting after consuming a meal.
Young men really do appeal to this product because they want to have a great in shaped body. They also used a celebrity endorsement by using Rich Froning 2011-2012 Crossfit Games Champion. I think this was such a good choice for a celebrity endorser because five years ago the Crossfit games did not exist. So, Rich Froning was just like every other guy in the gym just working out for the joy of it. Crossfit is a brand new and up and coming competition.
Shawn was getting to coach and teach, which suited him nicely. Coaching allowed him to keep his competitive spirit (even if he couldn’t compete himself). “I may not be able to compete myself,” Thomas said, “but I like to compete against the other coaches and watch my athletes kick their athletes butts.” Coach Thomas earned himself the title of 3A coach of the year in the state of Kansas, due to that competitive spirit he has flowing through his veins. Thomas felt this was a huge mile marker in his coaching career. “This was a immense accomplishment for me,” He said, “and it shows that throughout my coaching career I have always been moving in the right direction.” In order for him to be the excellent coach he is, he has to give up family time and with the supportive family he has, that never causes
Mantle always talked warmly about his father saying, “He was the bravest man he ever knew.” As a young boy, Mickey played football, basketball, and baseball. While playing football Mickey got kicked in the leg and the wound turned to osteomyelitis, a crippling disease that would have been incurable a few years earlier, but luckily his leg was saved with the newly found drug,
Professional athletes are only concerned with one thing. That is winning. Because professional athletes are fierce competitors they use steroids to get ahead of the game. There are mainly two reasons that they use artificial steroids. Money is very important this day in age and using steroids will make you better than everyone and you will be rich and successful.
Discourse Community Analysis Rough Draft Throughout my school years, I have been involved various communities, but none were as memorable and special as my high school football team. I could even argue It was more of a family than a community. Our community was made up of guys who all had the same goal and were determined to reach it at all costs; we wanted to win, period. When you have a community of brothers who all come together and fight alongside each other, down after down, it is something truly special. For us Texans, football is not a pass time it is a religion.

The basic atmosphere in the varsity crew was that, the members were critical of each other rather than focusing on the main goal of the race, winning. The JV team members gave feedback to the team addressing the entire team rather than pointing out the individuals of their mistakes like the varsity team did. This gave them a momentum to win each and every time they were on the race. Early when the teams were selected and they came back to Hudson River, the Varsity team started becoming unhappy over the fact that they couldn’t beat the JV team by a bigger margin. This implies that the team was filled with negative energy even though they won they did not discuss about the positive features of the team.
