Figueroa's Framework
f you've ever sat there like a stunned mullet, mouth gaping open in awe of another piece of Gary Ablett magic, you're not alone.
Even his own team-mates can't believe half the stuff their no.1 player conjures.
As a student who enjoys playing and watching AFL, it is truly impossible to comprehend some of the skills the professionals acquire and perform under pressure, game in, game out.
In this week's edition, equity and access to exercise, sport and physical activity in Australian society will be discussed.
A sociologist, Peter Figueroa, created a framework to analyse racism within society, particularly to look at how equity and access to society’s resources are affected by a person’s race (sport and physical activity in Australia, p.g 299).
There are five (5) levels to Figueroa's Framework, some have positive effects on sportsman whereas others have negative effects. The five (5) levels include Cultural, Structural, Institutional, Interpersonal and Individual.
The level that had the most significant impact on my attitudes, behaviours' and participation in Australian Rules Football since starting school is the Interpersonal level.
This consists of peers, family, teachers, coaches, role models. This relates to me as I'm the youngest of three boys and these two people both play vital roles in what I choose to play.
The interpersonal level is how communication and interaction with other people affect's one's access to sport and physical activity (Step Forward, 313). This interaction is also known as socialisation.
Socialisation is the process by which people acquire the values, beliefs, attitudes and behavioural norms of their culture (Step Forward, p.g 338). For me, I'm a fairly social person therefore this is another reason to why I enjoy playing sports and in particular team sport's. Mixing with kids your own age whilst playing sport's is extremely vital as it gives you social skills.
Living under a very sporty roof, I have many role models
