Activity 1: Volleyball
Responsible behaviour 1: Compliance with instructions
Responsible behaviour 2: Managing self In this activity, some of the hazards involved were the ball, teammates, sticks and rubbish. The risks caused by these hazards are bruises, cuts, sprains, broken bones, broken equipment, embarrassment and concussion.
One way I demonstrated compliance with instructions was when we were told to check the courts for rubbish or dangerous objects in the sand I made sure to check thoroughly including under the first layer of sand. The reason that I did this was to protect my peers from getting objects in their skin which could cause a lot of pain. It also made sure that people didn't feel embarrassed because of falling over a stick.

Possible risks that could occur because of these hazards are kicked, pushed under, drowning, bruises, cuts, sprains and rope burn.
The first way I showed compliance with instructions was when my class and I split the class into builders and swimmers. This showed this responsible behaviour because it showed our understanding of the rules as we were only allowed up to ten people on the water. We followed this rule to avoid being disqualified which would have made people upset and annoyed which could have caused fights and emotional trauma between friends and our class. It also meant we didn’t have a lot of people on the water which would increase the chances of people being injured. This would have happened because it would mean there would be a larger number of people in the same amount of space giving people less space to move causing them to trip or accidentally kick somebody. The outcome of our class doing this was overall positive. This was because nobody got injured and everybody had fun while building the raft and during the racing of

We did this by adding another tyre tube to a rope trailing behind the raft for people to grab onto if they let go and got stranded. This meant that nobody got embarrassed or annoyed by people letting go because the consequence was disqualification if the person got more than five metres away. It also ensured nobody drowned because they always had something to hold onto. This showed compliance with instructions because we listened to how we could get disqualified, absorbed that information and used it in the design of the raft. This was effective because even though nobody needed to use it people were assured that if they did let go they wouldn’t let the team down. I think this meant people worked harder because they weren’t worried about what would happen if they got too
I have learned a lot with all the legal laws and doing the correct things to protect myself from being sued, but with my morals, that’s not enough. As a person, I want to make sure I am protecting my players as much as possible. In this case when Brooks injured her ankle in a water run-off trench on the way bay from the concession stand. Knowing this environment a scene was created and the players we distracted from the game. I am taking this to the next level by trying to prevent distractions for my players and the well-being of my players.
They'd gotten lunch from the local takeaway, a burger and chips each, and had headed to their usual spot, the top of the Jumping Rock, at Dead Man's Pool. The Lagoon had received its infamous naming due to to many deaths that had occurred there over the years, where many teens, usually high or drunk, dared each other to jump from the cliff face to the icy water between the large, jagged stones. After the deaths of over 10 teens over the span of two decades, the cliff had been fenced off by the Sheriff, with large WARNING and DO NOT ENTER signs plastered everywhere. The teens, however, just like they always had done, ignored the signs and crawled through the large gap in the corner of the fence and walked the familiar path up to the top of the Jumping
Since American football star Michael Webster’s death, Nigerian-American physician, Bennet Omalu performed an autopsy that surprisingly showed his cause of death was from sever damage of the frontal lobe of Webster’s brain. What happened to Webster’s brain is now called chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE, which is a degenerative disease. This “sickness” is due to the repeated impact of football related concussions. Since the discovery the NFL and all the players have taken serious repercussions in the attempt of lowering the amount of potential concussions. The sport of football might appear dangerous but now the safety measures have been and are still improving.
In 2016, there are a plethora of challenges facing professional, college, and high school athletic departments. According to Howard and Crompton (2014) the recession of 2007-2009 had a substantial impact on the sports industry across all levels. Professional sports are challenged with providing affordable tickets to games as “total attendance dropped for three of the four major leagues from 2007 to 2011” (p. 9). The “overall financial state of intercollegiate athletics is grim” as collegiate athletic departments struggle to control soaring cost (p. 55). High school sports are also struggling financially as they attempt to maintain deteriorating facilities, remain observant to Title IX spending requirements, and provide the needed resources,
Hannah Hawker AP Language and Composition Mr.Leland 23 December 2015 What are the effects of a concussion? Contact sports have become one of the most popular entertainment facets in United States culture. One of the most popular is football, which may be more dangerous than perceived by fans. There are various physical health risks associated with playing football; however, many people fail to realize that football carries mental health risks as well.
For example, at a military-training camp that was located by a body of water, it was mandated that recruits swim (romanempire.net). The recruits
Football, although fun and exciting, plays an immense role in many long term health issues especially for people who start at a young age. The sport’s injuries include long term health issues such as chronic encephalopathy, ALS, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia; it also can be a reason for domestic violence, and on some occasions, unnecessary death. There are many factors that can persuade parents to believe that football is a safer sport than it was before, but the long term effects of a simple injury from the sport outweighs it all. In Ed Riley’s article, High School football’s benefits outweigh risks, Riley talks about the concerns that any parent would have when it comes to their child playing football.
offering the reward to the board, another way to delay the task at hand. While we never find out if the dive occurred the mere challenges faced and overcome to reach the diving board are a great accomplishment in
The inconceivable is the thought of one participating in a physical activity in which they know is extremely harmful to his or her body and health. As Americans, we subconsciously support these activities both emotionally and financially. Admit it or not, sports that children play starting at age three can be rough and intense. Whether the sport may be baseball, football, soccer, cheerleading, basketball, track, volleyball, tennis, or softball does not matter, they are all activities that require strong physicality. Among these physical sports, football requires the most physical contact.
Then I remembered that I was no longer that little girl who couldn 't swim. I was the adult in charge of saving people 's lives. I quickly dove down to rescue the helpless body. We resurfaced and she was coughing, but still alive and breathing. Until that moment, I never fully understood how much pressure lifeguards are under.

It lays out the expectations of all children in the setting and the consequences of their actions if they are not in line with the expectations. It should also have reference to any health and safety aspects as well as safeguarding.
Three hundred and fifty children under the age of five drown in pools each year nationwide. Two thousand and six hundred children are treated in hospital emergency rooms for near-drowning incidents. These statistics can bring chills down one’s spine. With drowning being such a threat, it is surprising how many guardians of young children dismiss the importance of their child learning how to swim. Survival swim lessons gives infants and toddlers the skills they need to move through the water independently while incorporating being able to breath when needed.
As soon as I got in the water, I put my skis on tight enough so they wouldn’t fall off, but loose enough that they could come off if need be. I swam out behind the boat far enough away that I wouldn’t be near the engine when it started. I was instructed to “make like I was sitting in a chair,” with my knees bent and my toes out of the water, making the skis stand up straight. I put the rope that was
Abstract The process of risk management can be implemented as part of a best practice management system within the sport organization and sport sector. The process enables risk factors that might lead to injuries to be identified and the levels of risk associated with activities to be estimated and evaluated. This information can be utilized proactively by sports governing bodies and participants to identify preventive and therapeutic interventions in order to reduce the frequency of occurrence and/or severity of injuries within their sports. The acceptability of risk within specific sports, however, is dependent on the perceptions of the participants involved to sport activities.
