USA - economic system

Day 27 Face February Fighting

USA

Economic system?

CAPITALISM!!!!
(making money!)



How does it influence sport?

Win at all costs mentality - Lombardianism

Sport is a media product - so needs to be exciting/High scoring.

If capitalism is about making money so sport must be profit making, players have chance for American Dream of rags to riches.

Teams are run as businesses as franchises.

Traditional Amateur Approach to sport in UK

Day 23 Face February Fighting

Traditional Apporach - amateur (l'amour)

Taking part more important than winning - for the love of the game.

Old system was disorganised and lack of communication.  Also ineffective

SO........it had to change into a more modern approach!!!

Modern Approach - winning/competitive/professional

Results driven basis!!!

NGB's need to modernise to get results and therefore keep their funding from UK sport.

Got to raise standards and compete on the world stage

WAT - none today, foot hurts from hockey ball yesterday in the defeat #watsonisawimp

Background of the modern Olympics

Day 13 of Face February Fighting

Modern Olympics over 100 years old......

Baron Pierre de Coubertain was the founder of the modern Olympic movement.

He wanted to promote friendship and unity through sport.




He visited the Public Schools of England (Rugby school) and was impressed with what he saw.

He also visited the Cotswold Games and the Dover Games.

Also the Much Wenlock Olympics with Dr Penny Brookes.


First Olympics in Athens 1896 and were strictly amateur

Sportsmanship/Gamesmanship/

Day 8 of “Face February Fighting”

Lets use the KISS principle.
Keep It Simple Sausage

Sportsmanship
Fair play - playing to the written and unwritten rules.

(todays hockey match - putting your hand up when it hits your foot)

Gamesmanship
Bending the rules to gain an unfair advantage

(todays hockey match - me running in a way that meant some poor soul bounced off me!!)

WAT - 70mins. Lost 3-1 gutted!!!

He explained the potential of outdoor rec as “The following journeys providing you take any of them to the outer limits of your capabilities in a self-reliant manner, can take you along the road to truth and beauty, freedom and happiness

Drugs in Sport


Reasons???

To build muscle
To mask injury
To train harder
To control arousal
Pressure to win from coaches
Retaining sponsorship?
Lombardian ethic
Everyone else is doing it?
Low chance of being caught

Consequences!!!    
(Michael Johnson talking about the issue of drugs in sport)

Lose medals/titles and prize money
Lifetime Olympic bans
Stricter punishments
Damaging to health
Lowers the status of the sport
Unfair advanatge


Solutions?????
Better testing - more testing - more random tests
Educate athletes and coaches about drugs and consequences.
Focus on the positive role models and name and shame those who take drugs.
Legalise drugs in sport?



Cricket to up drug testing procedures!
