When my coach came to talk to me, he informed me that only one other player on my team shot well, so if I wanted to make it to state I would have to do it by myself. I played the last two holes well and got to the eighteenth hole with butterflies in my stomach and a sharp pain in my back. I played the par four well and got onto the green after a chip shot and had a six foot putt for par. A teammate came over and told me that there is a tie at seventy six to make it to state. If I made this last putt I would shoot seventy six and make it into a playoff with two others.
On Your Mark When assigned to write an essay on the Olympic Games from a functionalist and conflict point of view I immediately thought, “Well what exactly are the Olympic Games?” The Olympic Games are defined as the following: “An international sports contest: a large-scale international sports contest intended to promote international goodwill. It has been held every four years since 1896, except for 1940 and 1944, in different cities around the world.”(Bing: Dictionary) To me; however, I do not think this technically. I simply think of a tremendous gathering of individuals hording together to watch a few of the world’s greatest athletes. Unfortunately, when I imagine “the world’s greatest athletes” women do not appear. I am almost quite certain that the “average Joe” does not exactly visualize an image of a perspiring woman, in mid-stride, thirsting to cross the finish line before her female adversaries.

The United States was a dominant force in international competition for decades prior to inclusion in the Olympic Games with American teams focusing on Pan-Am Games and World Championship titles. The sport was added to the Olympic Programme in a slightly unusual fashion in 1991. The majority of IOC decisions happen on a seven-year timeline. When Atlanta was selected as the host of the Centennial Olympic Games on September 18, 1990, softball was not on the programme. A former IOC President, Juan Antonio Samaranch, pushed for softball’s addition to the program for the Atlanta Games at a 1991 IOC meeting in Birmingham, England, in a move to increase gender equity in Olympic participation.
