Dear Dr. Yee,

As stated in the report in August, the Founder’s Athletic Center is now facing serious problem of black ants. The ants have already invaded the men’s locker room next to the pool. In order to solve this problem before it gets worse, my staff suggested four options.
After careful analysis, I think that the solution of cancel the planned re-furbishing of the weight rooms is the best. Firstly, we had planned to purchase new machines and to install full mirrors as well as to get new sets of weights. However, with spot repairs the old weight machines and benches could last another year and the equipment would pose no hazards.
Although the option may lead the Fitness Director to wait for another year, it will not influence much on the current external users. The current users don’t know about our plan of re-furbishing. So even if the plan were to be delayed, the users would not complain much on it. Also this option would not be impactful on specific groups compare to other options. The options of cancel Saturday and Sunday morning hours as well as close the entire building at 6 pm on Fridays would influence faculty, staff, graduate students, first and second year students as well as international students. Also, postpone the re-furbishing doesn’t take away any service that the current users have. They won’t experience some change under this option.
The re-furbishing plan is not immediately necessary, and the old machines and equipment would not put users under risk. So I strongly suggest taking this plan.

Sincerely,

Yuanni

    The article “High school Basketball Coach” James R. in gig, 2001 describes how much the coach loves instructing basketball at a Catholic high school in Pennsylvania. He says that his recruiting efforts have to be extremely discreet and that the school’s athletic director told him to never get caught recruiting players. The coach brags that he has never been caught and does not expect to be caught. Moreover, he never sends letters, leaving no paper trail and is never too obvious about recruiting, but openly admits that he is extremely aggressive. In addition, the other coaches despise him and his recruiting practices, but never launch formal complaints. In fact, according to Coach James R., he lost his lifelong friend because of a kid from an opposing school came to him after a game, to ask him about the Catholic school in which he coached. Furthermore, his basic strategy is to scout players at basketball camps, summer leagues, and other high schools and at the same time, he approaches a player’s parent and asks them if they ever considered Catholic school. Coach James R. states that he even flipped out at a parent when he discovered that his recruiting efforts had failed to attract a talented eighth grader. To summarize, Coach James R. is so focused on winning that in the summers he coaches his team for free and works at camps for very little pay. He does this in hopes of finding new players to recruit and he even said he is so dedicated he doesn’t even have time for a girlfriend. He attributes his winning career to his unwavering dedication and sees no point to coaching if one is not going to be fully dedicated to winning.…

    As stated in my career timeline, my goal is to become an athletic director for a high school. I believe this job will provide myself with personal fulfillment that I would not achieve anywhere else. For this interview I reached out to a family friend that personally knows the interim athletic director at Gordon State College, Gary Sharpe. Before holding his current position, Mr. Sharpe spent ten years as an assistant baseball coach for Gordon State College. Prior to his collegiate career he served as the head baseball coach for Upson-Lee and coordinator for the Georgia Dugout All-Star Games. Needless to say that Mr. Sharpe has crucial sport management experience from working at the collegiate and high school levels.…

    An athletic administrator there are many student-athlete issues that will arise that athletic directors will need to be prepared for. The first issues I think that an athletic director would need to prepare to face are issues regarding the code of conduct. In conjunction with the school’s code of conduct, the athletics department code of conduct should be familiarized by all student-athletes and parents. All student-athletes should be accountable for his/her actions and should be enforced by the school principal and the athletic director. An athletics orientation will be held before the start of each academic school year stressing the importance of the school and athletics code of conduct. Athletic orientation should include the student-athlete and parents that will cover expectations, rules, regulations, and eligibility requirements, which lead me to my next issue that athletic directors may face.…

    Although Title IX states than, "no person in the United States, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to any discrimination..." it does not guarantee that people will carry this out. After the issuing of Title IX, many women in sports wished to step forward and be recognized. Part of the recognition they wanted was to be included in National Sports Associations like the men's National Basketball Association. Eventually their cries were heard, and sports associations like the NBA agreed to merge and include women. Becoming included was an eye opening experience to many of these women and they have faced (and still do) doubts and discrimination from the public, but along the way they have also reaped benefits they would not have if the merger had never taken place.…
