Observation of People Doing Exercises
I started attending the In-Shape gym a short time ago and since my topic is based largely on this area of health sport, I decided to make my observation at this gym, trying to observe as much details as possible, how people treat the sport for themselves and whether or not they like exercising. In addition to attending this academy, I also visited my school 's basketball gym, Northgate High School, to see how athletes treat basketball for their lives, and in doing so I decided to compare how a person treats the sport as a leisure and how a person treats the sport as a method of losing weight or staying healthy. At the In-Shape academy, I was able to observe people of many different ages, especially seniors and overweight adults.

The first is related to the benefits of practicing sports in an academy that has all the resources so that a young person or senior can practice every day and benefit over time from these activities when it becomes a daily routine in their priorities. As for basketball, I also find it very beneficial to be a part of the school curriculum, the assiduous practice of the sport, since the daily practices and the games related to the championships makes the sport very disputed and entertaining for the athletes and this is the great difference between the two types of people who does the sport just to stay healthy or lose weight, thinks of sport as an action of their day and for young basketball players they treat the sport as their work, as something that is part of their lives that without that they do not feel well in their day or in healty life. I finalize my observation considering the exercises fundamental of being
“Why can’t we get into our freaking offense!?” This is all I really remember from Coach McKendrick at halftime last year against Niles North in what was a tough night for our basketball team. Prior to this, we beat New Trier at home and then went on the road and beat the pre-season unanimous vote to win conference, Highland Park, in our first conference game. Before the New Trier game, our game plan was simple: we were smaller, but faster, so we were going to run the court and make this is a fast pace game. We executed our gameplan, and we won.

Have you ever been inspired by a beautiful piece of literature? Yusef Komunyakaa’s “Slam, Dunk, & Hook” changed people’s perspectives on the game of basketball forever. The work of literature was about all of the arts and finesse that occur in the game of basketball. Yusef Komunyakaa used several diverse poetic elements to express his love for the game of basketball in “Slam, Dunk, & Hook.” Komunyakaa gives off a joyful attitude through the feeling that you are out on that court with those basketball players when they make a shot.
This notion is supported by Dr. Daniel Gould, who believes that “Children who participate in sports have increased educational aspirations, closer ties to school and increased occupational aspirations in youth” (1). People against the funding of high school sports think that parents and society are placing more emphasis than ever before and, “[P]ressures athletic personnel to deviate on winning from the athlete- centered educational and personal development mission” (Gould 1). However, athletes strive to do better in class. Michael Lorenc, a high school basketball coach believes that “those who seem to have an overwhelming schedule where they’re playing maybe multiple sports, and high academic schedules, they tend to do better than those who don’t do anything extracurricularly” (Gray). Balancing sports and school makes athletes put more effort into keeping up grades while playing the sport they love.

Never in my life had I been an outgoing person, or some type of extrovert. At the age of seven I took up playing school sports. Why? Who really knows. But ever since then I've been participating in school sports and I've been grateful for them ever since.
I chose to analyze one of my favorite movies, The Basketball Diaries. In this paper, I will be explaining the crime and deviance in the film, the social disorganization theory, and Gottfredson and Hirschi’s self-control theory. There is plenty of crime and deviance in this film including prostitution, underage drinking, drug use, robbery, and murder. The basketball diaries is about a 13 year-old basketball star, Jim Carroll, who is raised in New York by a single-mother. Jim is raised in a neighborhood where crime and deviance is very active and lives in a lower-class home.
Dr. Frank L. Smoll states, “All children and youth need vigorous physical activity as part of their daily lives, and sports provide the benefits of exercise and the potential for acquiring a sense of accomplishment.” (Smoll 1/2).
It was game day today. My teammates and I had a game against our rivalry high school Alta and we were pumped because we have beaten them every year since 2014. This year felt like we would keep that streak up and in motion. They had 6 really tall players while we only had 2. It made us all nervous for a while until we seemed to get over it.

When I was a child, I did not necessarily have a favorite toy as if to say, but there one thing in particular that I always used to liked playing with. That one thing was Basketball, A child’s favorite toy is usually something a child would bring around with them all the time and would cherish. That's exactly what I would do with my basketball. That leathery-bumpy skin of the ball in hands while I would dribble diligently down the street, was one of the greatest feelings I had as a child. The squeaking of shoes on the court and the swish of the ball in the hoop was probably the second best thing about basketball.
