165 Words1 Page

Our names are Sue-Sue Murray and Harriet Townsend from Mr. Enns' Orange Science class. In Phillip's gym, there is a problem having to do with the safety of whomever athletically involved there.

    As time has gone by, there was a continuation of the experiment to see if there was any improvement from practicing outside of the gym. What happened was metaphorically a plot twist; those who practiced the 2-4ft did better on the 1-3 ft. It demonstrates that the ten thousand hour rule doesn’t imply to everyone as there are kids who learn more naturally/faster. On the other hand, the ones who did originally practice with the 1-3ft still didn't succeed despite the amount of practice they

  • Should Kids Be Allowed To Play Competitive Sports Essay

    756 Words  | 4 Pages

    To most kids and students, competitive sports are a gateway to blow off some steam or to have fun. To parents, the sports that their children play and the lessons that they teach are an important part of their development and life. Despite what many ‘experts’ would like you to believe, both of these statements are completely true. I believe that kids should be allowed to play competitive sports due to the health benefits, the lessons that they can teach, and as a result of the advanced equipment and rules that are focused on making sports safe, as well as the fact that sports can keep kids out of trouble. One extremely important reason that forces me to take the position that kids should be allowed to compete in competitive sports is the health benefits that children who play sports recieve.

    Most of the people in the gym had their headphones in and were inside of their own world, oblivious to what was going on in all of the surrounding areas. The majority of the conversations that were going on were most often strictly gym based questions. I heard a few questions that were not just gym based but for the most part I was hearing questions about the weight amounts people should use, or questions of people asking another person to put more weight onto their machines and such things. One specific conversation I heard was two guys talking about the pre-workout and post-workout they drink, the guys were discussing their favorites and why they were their favorites. My favorite part of the conversation was at the end when they both said they
