Golf Safety
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing dangers on the golf course other than lightning, ones
generally not recognized or otherwise not sufficiently addressed. Cardiac arrest is the leading
cause of death on the golf course, and there are a growing number of reports of fairway robbery,
and even fire ants have become an increasing problem as they work their way northward and more
inland. The purpose here is to evaluate the relative risks and frequency of non-golf events on the
golf course to develop a safety checklist and to assess what levels of supervision can be viewed as
being adequate. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Improving the Serve
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing what parts of anatomy and what actions need to be addressed in achieving improved performance in the service of a volleyball, which is more straightforward than achieving improvement in other areas. Conditions always are consistent in terms of distance to send the ball, where to send the ball and the motions involved in accomplishing a successful serve. Improvements in the results of the serve therefore can focus on the server’s approach to the ball and the level of strength s/he includes in making contact with the ball to initiate its movement. The server soon will determine what level of force applied will result in placing the ball in the desired area of the opposing team’s court without traveling out of bounds. Once these principles are defined in action, ultimate improvement in performance rests on the repetition of practice. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

In Favor of Promoting Community Sport
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page campaign speech for an individual seeking a position from which s/he can develop community sport. The speaker reviews growing rates of obesity, diabetes and coronary artery disease as public health problems of the electronic age, and the problem of boredom and isolation that many teens and children deal with on a daily basis. Healthy people create healthy, vibrant, active and involved communities, which in turn positively affect the lives of all within them. While sport cannot be seen as a magic cure for all of the world’s ills, it certainly can provide a measure of health and happiness in the communities that value and support it. No source listed.
