Week 7

This week brought up a very interesting topic..the concept of metis. I really enjoyed learning some philosophical viewpoints on such a thing because that is something that inspires me as an athlete. Being able to come up big when your team needs it the most...thats why people play sports and thats why people watch.

Week 6

First, I would like to say that all the Chicago Bears fans got exactly what they deserved yesterday. The Bears were exposed for the average to slightly above average team that they truly are. They were not worthy of a super bowl championship. Congrats Coach Dungy, Peyton Manning, and the entire Colts organization.
Second, I am now looking ahead as we start working on our analysis papers on the sport of our choice. It will be a difficult task because of all of the information about each sport, but it will be hard to structure all that material into a 5-6 page paper. It should be difficult but I am looking forward to the task as always. Have a great week.

Week 5

This week was my least favorite week in terms of readings and discussions. The topic was art vs. sports and how they compare. I do not think they do at all and i will continue to refure to listen to anyone who truly thinks they are very similar. I think that art can not be conpared with sports because there is nearly zero physical activity it art. There is art in sports but there is no sport in art ad that is the most obvious thing to me.

Week 4

This week was the reading and discussion that I had been waiting for because I can most easily relate to what was being said. The topic was is winning everything... of course i think it is because of all of the things that come with striving for excellence. When winning is a necessity in someones life they will be forced to push themselves to the limit every single day to become the athlete they want to be.
