‘Since the age of 5 I have seen different “Types of Athletes” the sport I played at 5 was baseball and the types of athletes I seen was the overtop type, good type, and the so-so type. It was one boy on my team that was under the overtop type of player because every time he got up he would get a hit and by time the end of the season he hit 10 homeruns. The type of player I was under the good type of player because I just had started to play but I learn pretty fast so I would get a hit most of the time. We else had the so-so type of player they would try hard but they didn’t get as much hit as we need but what I like about the so-so players was that they would always try their best.
As I got a little older I started to play football and the some type of players that was in baseball was in football too. But when started to play football I wasn’t as good because it was hard to get used to the pads and stuff was hard to run in it at first because in baseball it was no weight on me. That whole was hard for because this teams that we were playing had more of the overtop athletes then we had we just had the good and the so-so players because most of the team it there first time playing just like me. So we take a lot blow outs and them blows can hurt the soul because as a kid getting beat like that doesn’t feel good that all.
When I went to my brother high school football games his I would the some type of athletes? The overtop athletes were the ones that never come off the field they would play the whole game so they had to be the best player on the teams. The good
come from within the individual and tends to ignore the athlete’s environment. However, this theory is useful when sport psychologists try to explain behaviour as it helps us to understand that not all behaviour is under the conscious control of athletes. Trait theories suggest that individuals have certain characteristics that will partly determine how they behave. Traits are relatively stable aspects of personality and early trait theorists like Eysenck and Cattell argued that traits were mainly…
An athlete assumes that if his or her diet has the right amount of calories to maintain an appropriate body composition, then the amount of fat they are consuming must be appropriate. In approximately 2-4 paragraphs discuss why this may be erroneous thinking. It would have to be explained to the athlete that not all foods and calories are created equal. Hitting a caloric requirement is not the same as hitting macronutrient requirement. For example, if the caloric requirement is 3000 calories…
Assignment 2 Coaching Unit Video Analysis Video analysis is a technique where the coaches will video the athlete and then play them back to see what things that they are doing wrong. This technique is very effective because you watch the footage back frame by frame. This is highly beneficial because both the coach and the athletes can see what their strengths and weaknesses are. It also has some weakness to it though. When looking at a video you can physically fix it, you can only visually see…

Australian academic named Dr Murray Phillips who conducted a significant report into the sexualisation of women in sport, once wrote: "It excludes many female athletes who do not fit into the appropriate body types, it glorifies certain female shapes and sends messages about what is appropriate and inappropriate for aspiring female athletes. These images fit neatly into stereotypes that have historically prevented women's sport from being accepted on par with men's sport." n that short period of…
training or weight training. As my athlete is a boxer and as we all know that boxing is basically an explosive sport that requires repeated bursts of energy over time. As per that reason I am going to plan a strength training program for my athlete. I am also going to set some goals for my athlete but my main goal is to build his strength and convert that strength to power, and then convert that power to power endurance. Power endurance is a common goal for the athletes who are looking to produce high…
What effects do performance-enhancing drugs have on athletes who take them? BSC101: Fundamental Concepts of Biology Fall, 2013 Performance Enhancing drugs are something that athletes have been using for years to gain an unfair edge over their opponent. "Athletes have always sought to outperform their competitors and regrettably some have resorted to misuse of drugs or doping to achieve this (Fitch 2012)”. This has been going on and will continue to go…

having a positive effect on an Athlete would be David Beckham when he scored a last minute Free-kick against Greece to book England’s place in the 2002 World cup. I feel that this situation brought the best out in Beckham and he flourished under the pressure of England’s world cup hopes being solely in his hands. In my opinion this theory can have a positive effect on Athletes as proven by David Beckham. The pressure of being the “only hope” can cause an athlete to excel in many ways and this…
can cause great pressure on men to obtain a certain body type, and that being a successful athlete relates to how “male” one is. In comparison to male athletes, the press focuses on how female athletes “do gender” instead of praising their athleticism. Through an examination of several articles it will become clear how female athletes are often trivialized through comments on their appearance, attitude, and sexual orientation. Female athletes who challenge the patriarchal ideology are underrepresented…
