Being the best at what you do!

Let me take a step back from just simply talking about athletes acquiring a degree, but look deeper into what an athlete really stands for. A professional athlete usually spends their whole entire life playing that particular sport. When I think of sports, I usually think of people our age playing them. After watching a baseball game last night it just hit me that these are grown men playing what some may say is a kid’s game. Obviously, I knew grown men played baseball but I thought it was amazing how good these guys really are. Each athlete eats, sleeps and breaths baseball, every day of their life. Some people dream of being an athlete, but most of them don’t understand how much work these guys put into their job. To these guys baseball is a job, not a game. It’s a business in the sense that they come to work every day seeking a paycheck. So instead of reading this blog and giving me your opinion on my blog, I’m going to ask all a question instead. As your fellow classmate, I’d like to know what you excel at the most in life. It doesn’t have to necessarily be a sport, but what you think you’re great at. Thank you all

Should college athletes get paid for playing sports ( college football)

As we all know college's all around the world gain millions and millions of dollars in revenue because of their sports programs. In the news today, a USC running back was lifting weights ( for football) and had an extremely rare accident. While working out his hand slipped and the weights fell on his throat. He had to go in for immediate surgery, which lasted 7 hours. He is a senior and had currently lead the team in rushing TD’s this season with 5. These college students have to do everything that the pros do when regarding obligations. They workout, train, study the game and play the game as well. So if they do indeed have all these extra obligations, shouldn’t they be paid at least some of the revenue that the University receives?

Does a 4 yr degree help with sportsmanship?

Hey guys, today I wanted to talk about 4 year degrees and how they reflect how a player might take a loss or a well deserved win. In sports lately, you might have heard of Blount, Serena Williams, Roger Federer and even Kanye West as people who have shown very ugly sides to themselves. Now I’ve done my research and none of these athletes have a 4 yr degree from a real academic university. Fed dropped out at 16, Serena went to a tennis college, Blount just punched himself out of college and Kanye as we all know is a high school drop out, suggested on his first album. So I’m asking you, Does a four year degree allow a person to become a better athlete when referring to being a sore loser? Or do you think it's to be blamed on how they were raised as a child? I personally think these people are pathetic for arguing about anything when it comes to winning or losing. They need to be role models and understand that they are getting paid millions of dollars to do something they love. Looking forward to your opinions!! thanks
