The Graduation Project Proposal

Title: David Conner’s’ Graduation Proposal, 2013

Introduction:
My graduation project is about football and track. Both sports require exquisite athletic abilities to perform well. This proposal should give you a good idea of what I plan to do going forward into my project, and how the audience benefits from it.

Essential Question:
How does running track improve your athleticism in football?

Problem or Task (How you plan to answer your E.Q:
The problem is that not enough football players are in shape enough for football. Many great professional football players all ran track in high school. Such as; Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Adrian Peterson, Ed Reed, Devin Hester, Chris Johnson, and the list goes on. The earlier you start to run track you will develop a running habit, which consist of you running all the time. Therefore you should never be out of shape. I plan to answer my E.Q. by comparing football players that run track, to those who do not.

Goals:
My goal for my project is to increase the athletic ability in many football players, so that they can be like the great professional players. I also plan to raise their endurance since many football teams started the season already. My mentor will help me train members of Southeast Raleigh Football team, and I will compare them to those who don’t run track. You should be able to see a drastic difference.

Methods:
I plan to start logging in my service hours August 26th, 2013. Then I will be committing myself to train varsity football players for Southeast Raleigh, and work with them through a series of track workouts as much as possible. This experiment is very important because it will improve the performance of the athletes and the team will be more successful for the season. Coach Elizabeth Gary is my mentor, who is the track coach of Southeast Raleigh. She will guide me through the course. Even though I run track, I’m not as experienced at coaching as

    Athletics is ingrained in the human experience and is an integral part of American culture. Because of that, many of my weekends and after school hours have been dedicated to either watching a game or starting one with the kids in the neighborhood. Athletics runs deep in my family. My great uncle was a professional baseball player and my family, including my father, three brothers and a sister, are all very involved with the various team sports. It’s this immersion into various sporting activities that has led me to the understanding that engaging in athletics has a very positive impact in our lives. Additionally, sports are extremely important in building one’s character through hard work, learning to work with others on a team and by learning how to cope with the joy of winning and the inevitability of losing.…

    Virginia State University’s Athletic Director, Mrs. Peggy Davis, came to visit and speak in our Organization and Administration of Athletics course on Monday, October 19, 2015. She was very inspiring and motivational in her talk with us. She touched down on a few key points as to how she got to her position in athletics as well how to stay there. She started off by stating that we must learn everyday from successful people. When she mentioned this, the 1-Minute Manager was brought to my mind because the young man in the book was looking for a successful coach to model after.

    Football is not too dangerous to be played in high school. Football is a popular sport with half a million injuries nationally. 4 out of every 1000 high school football exposures resulted in an injury and 8 of out of every 1000 collegiate football exposures resulted in injuries so that means that even if it’s played in high school or college levels there is still a risk of injuries.

    Did you ever realize that in most of the cases numerous of athletes never graduate? It is sad to see young student athletes setting for much less education than they deserve. Neil H.Petrie in his essay is expressing himself against the attitude toward student athletes, and collegiate system. Petrie said "the system uses and then discards after the final buzzer." I found it true because there is so much pressure on athletes that it compromises their potential and academic careers. Petrie addresses his essay to several audiences. The primary aim of Petrie's audiences, which mainly are: teachers, counselors, and coaches is to provide a professional help for students so they could get a good education.…
