    Over the past decade, soccer has been becoming an even more popular sport than it once was. With this popularity though, comes a greater chance for injury. Most soccer-related injuries include ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tears or meniscus tears, but there is a much more dangerous injury making up “22% of the total injuries in football” (Al-Kashmiri 189). Note, that in this instance, and many more, “football” is referring to the non-American term for soccer. A concussion, defined by Monica E. Maher, is “a complex pathophysiological process, induced by traumatic biomechanical forces” (271). Since soccer is a growing popular sport, especially in young children, there are many ways for amateur players to get injured.…

    When “sports” is heard the first thing thought of, big athletes, open fields, and probably a lot of sweat. However, that is not the case these days. Within the last ten to twenty years a radical thing that probably would not have been thought to exist is coming into fruition, and boy is it blooming. Electronic Sports, eSports for short, is the act of playing video games competitively for not just proving who’s better, but also for a very large chunk of money. Does that make it a sport however? Is just being able to compete against others for money what makes something a sport? In some cases, but that would probably be more the definition of a “tournament.” Other things needed would be leagues for the division of the skills of each player, a rules basis so that there is no cheating, and definitely a player base as well as fan base. Eventually eSports will become one of the next big televised events all over the world. It’s already gaining stardom in other parts of the world than the United States, but eventually it’ll catch on here too.…

    Competitive Sports

    Competition is the act of competing, as for profit or a prize, rivalry. Throughout my life, I have competed in many different sports and excelled. Not only did sports help me to fit in and stay in top physical condition, but they gave me the values to succeed in life. Some of the most important values I took from my experiences were: working hard and putting in the effort to be the best I could at everything I did, the discipline and loyalty it took to work with others for one common purpose, and with determination and self-will I could accomplish anything I put my mind to. There are people that would disagree with this point of view because they believe competition can ruin these values when you lose. I was not always on winning teams and I believe I gained just as much from these teams. It was the actual act of competing I learned from, not the victory. I was always told in sports, “If you fall down, you get back up, dust yourself off, and try again.” That is how I decided to live my life.…
