Throughout history, there have been numerous heroes who have been celebrated and decorated because of their accomplishments. On the other hand, there are also numerous heroes who would have been decorated, but experience a downfall that tarnishes their status. This concept, the tragic hero, is a theory first pondered by Aristotle. In order to fully understand the tragic hero, it is important to first define it. According to Aristotle, the tragic hero is a character of noble stature, aligned with greatness but also flawed, experiences a downfall as a result of free choice, and does not wholly deserve their misfortune. In addition, the tragic hero’s fall is not a pure loss, and the downfall of the tragic hero does not leave the audience in a state of depression. Given the components of a tragic hero, a great example of a modern-day athlete that embodies the definition of a tragic hero is professional golfer Tiger Woods. As a professional athlete, Tiger Woods was as premier of a name as it gets. However, he would suffer a downfall that perfectly fits Aristotle’s theory. Tiger Woods, once considered to be the best golfer of all time, suffered a tragic downfall from glory which ultimately would lead him to become the tragic hero of professional sports.

Even though Spieth is chasing history, headlines generally refer to the unsuccessfulness of Woods. Despite his atrocious play, Woods is still the most popular golfer on any course. His magnetism hasn’t diminished because we all remember his hole-in-one at the 1997 Phoenix Open, or his finger-point at the 2000 PGA Championship when he followed the ball into the hole, or his gutsy performance on an injured knee to defeat Rocco Mediate at the 2008 U.S. Open.
One thing that Tiger Woods has managed to do his whole career is being able to mentally keep a level head through all the ups and downs during a tournament. That’s why he has had such an incredible career. Things like pressure seems to excite him, and even when he struggles he has the mental ability to overcome that and find something to help him push on in the tournament. When I play in a tournament I try to do the same. I am trying my best to become very similar to Tiger
Billie Jean King announced to the United States, “ I have often been asked whether I am a woman or an athlete. The question is absurd. Men are not asked that. I am an athlete. I am a woman.” She spoke those words in 1982 when women were continuing to challenge traditional gender roles. Billie Jean King, an American female tennis player, has never been one to back away from controversy. She is a powerful voice for the advancement of women’s rights, equal pay, and the acceptance of sexual orientation.

Many people would consider golf to be a game rather than a sport. Golfers do not have to be great athletes or in terrific physical condition. Golf is accessible to most people and it does not require a team (most times), so it seems to be a game. Golf does require skill, practice, and athleticism, the same as other sports. Pro golfers practice often, are in great physical condition and make a living from golfing. Golf draws many spectators per year. Golf meets the definition of a sport because it takes skill and practice to be a great golfer, and meets the large majority of definitions.
Some people say golf is just a game and you don’t need to be athletic to participate in it. However, there are many facts supporting the idea that if you play golf, you are considered an athlete. A game is considered an activity that is played for self pleasure and enjoyment only. On the other hand, a sport is a competitive activity in which precise skill and athleticism is needed to achieve success.

On July 16th, 1996 The New York Mets roughed up the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 7 to 5. One player who contributed to this win was a rookie by the name of Paul Wilson, who just came off six weeks of rest for his right shoulder. Although it was the return of Paul Wilson, there was another Met that over shadowed Wilson, and this guy was Jerry DiPolo. Mr. DiPolo came into the game during the fifth inning with runners on second and third and no outs. Outstandingly enough, he walked off that mound not conceding one run to the Phillies, which gave the crowd something to cheer about and he picked up the win, in just one inning that he pitched. Especially with the weather being as bad as it was with rain, which is a baseball player’s worst nightmare while playing. He needed to take other precautions while pitching. New York moved only 6 games back of the Wild Card leader and DiPolo’s E.R.A was reduced to a 4.06. With this win it gave the Mets players a positive look for winning the series after what they had accomplished in this game and taking a 1-0 series lead even though it is just the regular season.
