Also, it can be a wonderful source of entertainment and improve the mood—not only for athletes, but also for fans. There are a lot of sports: For halls and open air, team and single, and in which endurance or speed is necessary.

The 10 Best Coaches in Sports History
Coaching is an underrated aspect of any professional sport. While big-name players, for the most part, get most of the credit, and coaches tend to absorb much of the unwarranted blame, they still remain important figureheads, vital to their team's overall success.

Performance Enhancing Drugs in Sports
Modern science has brought along many wondrous advancements that help us along, but those advancements have also smuggled in with it some serious ethical conundrums. One of those problems is chemical enhancements. It is one thing if they are used to advance and prolong health, it is a totally different matter if they are used to boost strength, speed, and overall performance to give one a physical advantage in competitive sports. Society doesn’t care if a police officer, fireman, or Joe Carpenter uses physical enhancements. It might even be encouraged as there may be arguments in its favor. The difference in sports lies in the fact that there is open competition in these endeavors.

Bring Your Passion, Discover Your Purpose
The word “injury,” is the enemy of an athlete’s journey. Along my ongoing journey, I have already encountered various types of injuries as a runner. Whether it was on the track or off the track, I still dealt with injuries that ranged from days to even a year to heal. I had to take personal responsibility for how much rest I needed or if I was even taking care of my injury properly. From the food that I consumed, to all the things I did, each choice was either hurting me or healing me.

Grand Designs Podcast—Episode 7—Equality in Sports
Lately, the buzzword has been equality. The debate has ramifications well beyond just sports. For example, equal pay for women to that of what men make. In sports, it’s about equality of transgendered and biological people, and just equality with biological females competing with biological males, as well as equal pay. So, the question of the day is: Is equality in sports even possible?

A Speech For...
Good evening. First, on behalf of my teammates, I would like to say thank you to the coaches, trainers, athletic administration, and parents for all of your unwavering support. Let's remember why we ran: I remember in the seventh grade being told I could be one of the fastest girl's in distance. At the time, I never truly believed that because all I wanted to do was play basketball. Play ball everyday. That was my true passion. Because of that one person who told me that they believed I had true potential in running, I'm here standing in front of all you. That one person left an impact that made me become a runner. I am not here to tell you every part of my story as to why I started running. Rather, to tell all of you that you can be that one person to impact someone's life. It starts today, with what you have, your one voice, your one action. It's you.
