Tom, really interesting topic. I, myself, have wondered how one becomes a general manager because that has always been a dream job for me. I would be very interested to read your final research paper to find out how I can get into player scouting and team managing. Your paper might really give me an edge into getting in to that field one day, and if it does, I would be eternally grateful.

Tom, really cool topic and I think that it is something that can be applied to much of the world of high respect – high class positions. With many of the Presidents, CEO’s and corporate leaders of the world today, many fall into these positions in a very random manner. Some (like the NFL or other national sports agencies) work their way through the corporate ladder, but many fall into these positions with no prior affiliation to the organization. I think this is a really cool project and I am excited to see the results and the end product of your research.

Anna, The way you began this paper with research was great. I personally agree with you in the fact that as teenagers we do function a lot better if we have a full nights sleep. Even though transportation would change we could find a way around it, if that would be getting a ride from a friend or other ways around the transportation change. In the…[Read more]

I have worn a uniform to school since first grade and I know they can get annoying and you want to demonstrate your individuality, which is a good thing, being able not to worry about what to wear is a bonus. I do feel that we should get some freedom like forgetting a belt no one should care about that, but other than these little irritations the…[Read more]

I would like to agree that Donald Trump is going back on a view policies that he believed in and he might have just said some of those things to win the election. But I need to agree that playing into the population is a part of the campaign but he should stick by his statements and this goes to show you what kind of man he is.

Lillian,
I agree with this our next president should provide help to all immigrants and not turn their back to them or go to war. We should provide help to those who desperately need it and should give many immigrants the opportunity they deserve. Who are we to decide that people shouldn’t better their lives. -

Dear Angel, I agree with your post that black lives matter and this is getting out of hand. Everyone should be treated equal and especially agree with your statement “when you are president, don’t encourage racism.” This is something we definitely need from our commander and chief and they need to show everyone that everyone is equal no matter the…[Read more]

Tom,
I think this is an interesting topic. I’ve played and watched sports my whole life and wondered a lot about careers in sports. I think that like any job, your network that you build is a huge part of finding jobs and being hired. For high-level athletes, the networks they build are crucial for their present athletic career as well as future job prospects. Many people also see those who play sports in college and professionally as more qualified because they have more experience with the game and coaching/managing styles that they can bring to the table if pursuing a career in athletics. I found this article for you about professional athletes’ careers after sports: https://theconversation.com/game-over-how-professional-athletes-can-have-a-career-after-sport-71555
