...Athletic Training has become my new found love. From filling up coolers, to being on the sidelines for every football game. Yes, I get called a “water girl”, but I do so much more. I get to tape wrists and ankles before games. I get to assist the head athletic trainer on the field when an injury occurs. Finding this was a light and a blessing to life. I never thought I would find something that would make me so happy to wake up everyday. I was lost before finding this. Everyday I watched my friends find and do what they love, yet i couldn’t find it yet. Then at a football game I watched as the student athletic trainers at the time, and realized that I wanted to do it. The first time I stepped onto the practice field, was the day I realized...

...very stressful situation so why not sit down and take some time to do it? Be creative, don't rush, give yourself plenty of time and really think about what interests you in life. My major is something that I will want to enjoy, something that I will be doing for the rest of my life. Why would I want to be miserable at something I do in life? In two short essays: "College? What's in It for me?" by Steven M. Richardson, and "What It Means to Be Creative", by S.I. Hayakawa, I can relate to my major very well. Athletic Training is something that takes skill, as well as being creative in your own way. No two Athletic Trainers are the same. The more creative I am at whatever I do, the better off I will be. I hold the keys to all the doors that can be opened in my life, and I will ensure that they will not be put to waste. Here at the State University at Cortland, I made the decision of choosing Athletic Training as my major. I knew I wanted to do this because I was very interested in sports my whole life. It wasn't an easy decision in choosing a school, but I think I made the best choice based on my major right now. In a short essay... [co;kgkkklj;;rdewwq...

...Ethics in Athletic Training Paper The purpose of this paper is to identify the situation in which a correct ethical decision must be made and the different outcomes of such decisions. In this essay, the main topics to be covered will be the appropriate approach to making an ethical decision, potential courses of action and their potential consequences. After reading this paper, the reader will have a more extensive knowledge in ethical decision-making and a stronger opinion in the case. In this case study, George and his partners who own and operate a chain of rehabilitation centers become minority owners of a hockey team. During one of the most important games of the season, the star player gets checked into the boards and sustains a head injury. After 15 minutes, the player’s mental status begins to improve. Although he still couldn’t remember the details of his injury or the time immediately preceding it, his motor coordination was better. George and the team physician decided to let the player return to the game under close observation. The ethical decision that must be made is this: Would the athlete be allowed to go back to play after sustaining a head injury? The types of ethical issues presented in the case are: Autonomy, Beneficence, Non-Malfeasance and most importantly fidelity. Because these various stakeholders often have different interests and goals, health care professionals are often conflicted about the proper course of treatment for an injured athlete. Conflicts...

Your e-structor has also embedded comments [in bold and in brackets] throughout your essay. Thank you for choosing Smarthinking's OWL; best wishes with revising your paper! *Strengths of the essay: Thanh , thank you for submitting your assignment for review. I am Ann B., your writing tutor. First, I want to point out a strength I noted when I read your paper. This sentence in the introduction presents a question and then answers it: College athletes are supposed to be the best of the best on that level, so why do college athletes not get paid? The question sets up the argument nicely for the reader! Now let’s move on to some areas that need revision. Content Development: A direct quotation like this one is not a good topic or first sentence: McCourt states “The athletes are ones who put in hours of practice and training” ( Evan Rosenfeld and Scarlett McCourt). Your audience may not understand why this quoted passage is important. The topic sentence should present a main point about athletes being paid in your own words. The first point is the hectic schedule. Can you write a topic sentence that introduces this point? I note that the second body paragraph does have a topic sentence introducing a point from the thesis in your own words: Another reason to why college athletes should...

... Henry Louis Gates, Jr.’s “Delusions of Grandeur” was originally published in Sports Illustrated (Fenton-Glass et al.101). In this essay, Gates aims to persuade readers to give less attention to African-American athletes and their athletic accomplishments and to give more attention to the educational and professional success of young African-Americans. Gates’ thesis states that, “the blind pursuit of attainment in sports is having a devastating effect on our people” (Gates, Jr. 101). Intended Audience: Gates message is intended for the African-American community, and society as a whole, especially all those who share the responsibility of educating and influencing young African-Americans. He says, “Those relatively few black athletes who do make it in the professional ranks must be prevailed upon to play a significant role in the education of all our young people (Gates, Jr. 102). He also adds, “A similar burden falls upon successful blacks in all walks of life” (Gates, Jr. 102). Purpose(s): Gates wants society to find a healthy balance between athletics and education, and for African-American children to know “that becoming a lawyer, a teacher or a doctor does more good for our people than winning the Super Bowl.” He also makes a compelling comparison when he says, “Until training a young black’s mind becomes as important as training his or her body, we will continue to perpetuate a system akin to that of the Roman gladiators, sacrificing a class of people for the...

...Two Sided Essay: Should College Athletes be Paid or not If the great Kansas basketball coach, Bill Self, can completely change his whole prospective on the idea of college athletes being paid, we all can! Self once stated that “[college athletics has] always [been] big business; now it's huge business. And when you're sending players from the West Coast to East Coast to play sports, to miss more classes, and the schools benefit from that financially, why shouldn't the people that are responsible for the business, and that would be the student athletes," (Kansas). At most colleges, college athletes are a key source of income, and they attract students to their institutions. Universities depend on their athletes to produce and maintain the popularity of their school's name. College athletes are supposed to be the best of the best on that level, so why do college athletes not get paid? The National Collegiate Athletic Association, NCAA, says that it is trying to protect the athletes from "exploitation by professional and commercial enterprises" (United). Many argue that student athletes should not be paid because they are receiving an essentially free education through a scholarship. These people feel that the promise of their education being paid for is enough for the college athletes. They reason that with free tuition, room, board, books, and fees, there are no other factorable costs that could significantly harm ones packets. However, on the opposite side of the issue, some...

...Dr. Leroy T. Walker A Man of Many Firsts Good morning colleagues and friends. It is with pride, pleasure, and gratefulness that I have this opportunity to share the accolades of a great educator, coach, administrator, author, and humanitarian: Dr. Leroy T. Walker. It is particularly an honor because the first time I heard Dr. Walker speak was at the first Leroy T. Walker breakfast in ____ in 19__. The theme of his talk was “Excellence without Excuse,” a simple, but powerful three words that I will never forget. The grandson of slaves and the youngest of 13 children, LeRoy Walker was born on June 14, 1918, in Atlanta, Georgia where he resided until the death of his father when he was nine. He then moved to Harlem with his older brother Joe until his senior year in high school when he returned to Georgia. While living with Joe, Leroy worked in the family's barbeque restaurant and window cleaning businesses during the Great Depression. Big brother Joe instilled a strong work ethic and an attitude of perseverance; never permitting him to rationalize in spite of hard times and prejudice. The first in his family to go to college, Dr. Walker enrolled at Benedict College, an historically black church-related college in Columbia, South Carolina in 1936 where he majored in science and romance languages and graduated with honors in 31/2 years. He lettered in basketball, track and field, and football, earning 11 letters. Walker, who did not play football in high school, tried out...

...our case may hire independent contractors or startup companies to provide some services that the company did not do inhouse (Caroselli, 113). The following essay will speak about the NIKE company and its outsourcing business practices that although proved to be very profitable for Nike at some point of time would attract international attention with respect to the ethics involved in the corporate management, working conditions and compensation. According to corporate website (www.nike.com) Nike, Inc. is principally engaged in the personal design, development and worldwide marketing of stylish fashionable footwear, apparel, equipment and accessory products. The Company is a seller of athletic footwear and athletic apparel worldwide. Nike sells its products to approximately 18,000 retail accounts in the United States alone and through a mix of numerous independent distributors, licensees and subsidiaries in approximately 140 countries worldwide. Virtually all of its products are manufactured by independent contractors located in the third world countries like Indonesia, China and Thailand, and virtually all footwear products are produced outside the United States, while apparel products are produced both in the United States and abroad. The Company’s athletic footwear products are designed primarily for specific athletic use (basketball, golf, baseball), although a large...

...Live-High Train-Low ("LHTL") is a new altitude training method. It is the most popular hypoxic training method used by athletes in order to improve endurance performance (Wilber 2007). It allows hypoxic acclimatisation without the detraining that may occur when training at high altitude (Álveres- Herms et al 2015). This essay will look to explore the main mechanisms behind which LHTL brings about an improvement and discuss whether this leads to an increase in sea level athletic performance. The main ways LHTL brings about improvements are accelerated erythropoiesis, improved exercise economy, increases in skeletal muscle buffering capacity, and increased skeletal muscle NA, K, ATPase activity. Furthermore, the fact that sea level training...

...What would you think of a government that inspected your baby boys to see if you got to keep them, and then took them away from you at age seven? I know I wouldn’t like it. But that was just how it went in Sparta, whether you liked it or not. That is the question I have to answer in this essay: Education in Sparta: Did the Strengths Outweigh the Weaknesses? I will explain the age that boys went to school, how important physical fitness was, and other interesting, and sometimes odd, facts. In the end though, I am surprised that Sparta made it as a city since they had such different laws. According to Document A, “A [Spartan’s] son was nurtured by his parents only until he was seven years old.” Then he was taken to state-controlled education,...
