Sports: Bonding Agent Between Father And Son
[ send me this paper ]
16 pages in length. Fathers and sons share many experiences that help to fortify their relationship; however, there is perhaps no better bonding agent than the shared experience of sports. Indeed, fathers dream of the day they can teach their sons how to play catch, hit a softball or go long for a pass, which clearly illustrates the bonding powers inherent to sporting activities. For boys who may have tenuous associations with their fathers, the very act of engaging in some type of sports often has a cathartic effect upon the issue that stands between them, ultimately affording the father and son to bridge whatever gaps might exist between them. Sports is also an excellent way for boys to work off the growing trend towards childhood stress, while at the same time have fun and further solidify the bond with their fathers. As well, father/son sports activities are a great way to draw out an individual with an otherwise low self-image and help bolster a strong and healthy dose of self-esteem.

Strategic Plan for an Intercollegiate Athletic Program
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper outlining a plan to promote the "other" collegiate sports. The "big three" - football, basketball and baseball - gain most of the attention given collegiate sports, with baseball trailing at a significant distance. There are nearly two dozen other intercollegiate sports recognized and regulated by the NCAA, however, and most receive far less attention from local fans and media. Increasing budgetary constraints result in increased financial pressures on these other sports, and the five-year plan presented here addresses ways to increase community awareness of and support for these sports. The primary approach is a "grass roots" effort in which players and coaches visit local public and private schools, inviting students to attend their games. Tickets are required but will be freely given for two years, becoming more scarce in subsequent years so that competitions will be generating gate receipts and the teams will be contributing to their own financial support. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
