Speech outline 3

Purpose statement of this speech is to convince listeners to become Atlanta Falcon Fans by educating them on the history and achievements of this football franchise.
Thesis statement of this speech ; the Atlanta falcons are the premiere football team in the NFL but have recently been shown little respect. Why should you respect the Atlanta falcons a legitimate superbowl contenders.
Since 2008 the Atlanta falcons have a record of 43-21 and 26-6 record at home during the same time period . four straight winning seasons and 3 playoff berths. With these type of numbers you would expect the team to be a super bowl contender in everyone’s eyes unfortunately this is not true. The majority of NFL fans do not consider the falcons to be one of the elite teams this is basically because of their lack of playoff wins 0-4 this has led to the falcons having a reputation of being good but not great when they need to be. All of this is true up until this year where the Falcons had a record of 13-3 and a divisional round playoff win against a highly favored Seattle Seahawks team. The falcons eventually lost in the NFC championship against the 49ers. I feel like the falcons are headed in the right direction with their first playoff win and will only continue to getbetter as their young core of players mature and gain experience.
In conclusion I feel the Falcons should start getting the respect they deserve or its time for them to take their respect. With a young star quarterback in Matt Ryan the Falcons have a chance to build a dynasty and silence all their critics. With a few upgrade to the defense they defiantly have the potential to become super bowl

    Ray Lewis Leadership

    A leader is a person who has the ability to lead or command an entire group of people, a leader is someone who is followed by other people. Being a leader is a wonderful privilege, it is something that is not necessarily handed to an individual nor is it something that can be bought, leadership is something that is earned. This entire course we have been learning about and discussing various characteristics of effective leaders. Some of those characteristics included confidence, charisma, courage, heart, perseverance, and among many others. This paper will focus primarily on one individual who exemplifies these traits and many other characteristics which contributes greatly to his success as a leader. The person that has been selected for the basis of this paper is Ray Lewis, a twelve year pro-bowl selection linebacker from the Baltimore Ravens. The reason I have chosen Lewis for this paper is because of the qualities he has as a leader not only on the playing field, but off of it as well. He is what I believe to be the best and most motivational and inspirational player in the National Football League today, maybe even all sports. The object of this paper is to elaborate on Lewis' characteristics and provide an explanation of his leadership style and why they are effective. This paper will begin by giving an in depth analysis of Ray. After the analysis it will then move into discussing Ray's styles of leadership. After talking about Lewis' styles it will then begin going through all his characteristics as a leader and what makes him stand out as a leader, in other words, I will explain why Ray Lewis is such a powerful and effective leader and the reason he stands out to people other than his organization.…

    When the Newark Panthers were in the locker room Luke Williams gave a speech saying “that we came here to defy all odds to show that we are worthy to win the super bowl and that we are no ordinary team but we are an extraordinary team that has the potential to win it all people will remember this year because of our comeback to win it all, starts now!” The whole entire team went insane and it didn’t even feel like they were losing.…

    The book I chose was Quiet Strength: The Principles, Practices, & Priorities of a Winning Life, by Tony Dungy. This is more than an autobiography of the life of Tony Dungy, the coach of the 2006 Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts. Woven throughout his life story are the principles, practices, and priorities of a life that is able to lead others towards positive change, not by focusing on success, but by focusing on building up men by focusing on character, respect and integrity.…

    In figuring out who I wanted to write this paper on, many different leaders popped into my mind. I knew I wanted to choose a “sports figure” because playing sports has always been a huge part of my life. Every coach I have had, regardless of the sport, has always been a leader in my eyes so I thought it would be fitting to choose a coach. Coach Tony Dungy is said to be one of the greatest to ever coach the game of football. I would have to agree with that statement. I have been a fan of Tony Dungy ever since he became the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts in 2002. I look up to, and respect him as a coach and as a person. I wanted to write this paper about him in hopes of learning more about his leadership style and what he thinks it takes to be a leader. Since I aspire to be like him as a coach, I want to leave a lasting positive impression upon the young individuals that I teach. I believe that that is exactly what Tony Dungy did for all of the players he has coached. He used his abilities, skills, values, and ethics to inspire, motivate and coach his teams on to victory.…

    The Bucs were one of the most disappointing teams last season after a solid offseason and plenty of hype (some of it by yours truly). Dirk Koetter got to keep his job even though his team took a gigantic step back in 2017 on both offense and defense. Tampa Bay desperately needed pass rush help and got it in Vita Vea and Jason Pierre-Paul. But the offense had no reason to struggle like it did in Jameis Winston’s third season.…

    They have won 5 of the 9 Superbowl, last year the Patriots won, defeating the Atlanta Falcons, 34-28. Otto said, “I really want the Patriots to lose, I feel like the Patriots have won way to many Super Bowls the last few years and it’s not fair, it’s also getting boring, I don’t even have to watch the game to know that some how the Patriots are going to win.” The Patriots have won 5 Super Bowl in the last 15 years, which is not very common in football. Most football teams have not even won that many in theirs teams history.…

    There has been much debate over which sports team is the most successful in the United States. Many teams have had their moment in the spotlight. They rise in popularity only to plummet the following year. Right now the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants are the talk of the entire sports world, but give it a few months and everyone outside of the New York Metropolitan area will forget who even won the game. That is how it is with most champions in professional sports. Fewer than 20 percent of Americans know that the Mavericks are the reigning professional basketball champions or that the Cardinals won the most recent World Series. Though these teams have had great success their fan base is mostly local. They have not established a national following. Over the past 50 years the Dallas Cowboys have used a great winning tradition, slick marketing, and modern merchandising techniques to establish themselves as “America’s Team.”…

    Sports are an intimate part of many people’s lives. Without it, many of us would not share certain relationships or bonds with people who like it as much as we do. Football is indeed my favorite sport to watch. From the touchdown dances to seeing a favorite player break a record, football is intense, exciting, and amusing to watch. Football teams can define the character of certain regions and places (Sports and Recreation, 2004). In good old Minnesota, we “bleed purple” and love our Minnesota Vikings. Although the Vikings have never won the Super Bowl, we still love them regardless because of their hard work and dedication to the sport and to the fans. The whole organization behaves in a manner that keeps the fans coming back for more, as do other National Football League teams around the United States. The National Football League and its teams need to have spot-on organizational skills. If there is not proper organizational…

    Marvel harvard case

    • 633 Words

    I would not call Marvel’s success a fluke. I believe they struck gold and didn’t know it and then they took off from there. Most of what they did was licensing of characters they have had for decades. They weren’t spending major capital hoping to have a success. Instead they charged for their character’s and would make more if that company was successful. They had very little to lose as a bad movie or product would most likely not have a major negative effect on their comics sales, which is what they were most focused in, in the beginning. I believe this success can be sustainable as they created a huge market in many different categories so if they keep satisfying the markets needs and wants, there will be profit to be made.…
