In the articles “The Secret Life of Tiger Woods” by Wright Thompson and “Are parents ruining youth sports?” by Michael S. Rosenwald both concept the sacrifices one has to take to be an “elite athlete”.  I firmly believe that the sacrifices taken to become an “elite athlete” are not ultimately worth it in the long run because of the injuries and health management.   To support this, the author from “The Secret Life of Tiger Woods” proclaimed “...he fell down in his backyard without a cellphone and had to just lie there until his daughter happened to find him.”  This quote the type of pain Woods lived through because of all his intense golf training.  Furthermore, in the article “Are parents ruining youth sports?”

Sports and athletes play an important role in the lives of Americans today. In the HBO documentary “Sports in America” we see just that. Over generations the interest in sports has spread from young children to adults and elderly, experiences are shared and cherished. Within this documentary there were four areas of interest that were discussed (greatness, heroes, community and game change). This dissertation will briefly describe some of the defining moments in sports that have changed the lives of many individuals.

In the news article ‘’Tiger Woods Apologizes for Irresponsible and Selfish Behaviour’’, written by Mark Herrmann in 2010, explains Tiger Woods’ selfishness and the consequences of his behaviour. Tiger Woods apologized about his selfish behaviour in public in Florida. He stated that his behaviour changed who he really was and ruined his self-respect in society.

When someone would ask me about the sports that I play, I would tell them, “I play golf.” Now this does not occur much in high school, but when I was young, mentioning golf would bring upon remarks involving old people and for non-athletic kids. Hearing this was depressing as golf was the sport that I loved and enjoyed playing. Nonetheless, I kept playing golf and played on the golf team in ninth grade. That’s when I found out that, unlike Alice, competitive golf was not right for me.

As a child and an adult Tiger Woods had a close relationship with his father, who significantly influenced him as a person and golfer. “As a young boy, Woods learned to play golf. His father, Earl, served as his teacher and mentor” (Tiger). Tiger’s father shaped him as a person and an athlete, he was his greatest influence and inspiration. Without his father’s guidance all throughout his life Tiger would not be the person he is today.

Despite this contention, only 2.8% of these players individually consulted a sport psychologist, while only 29.6% perceived their own ability to be psychologically well prepared for competitions as very good. These results suggest a definite need for sport psychological services (67.5% of the players indicated a great need or need for psychological skills training sessions), as it could hold value for performance improvement within the sport. The introduction to sport psychological skills training at the junior and sub-elite levels of sport primarily falls within the responsibility of the coach (Gould et a]., 1999). Within the South African context, however, 84% of teachers who coach at the secondary school level have not received any training in sport psychology (Le Roux & Pienaar, 2001), resulting in players who do not possess sound foundational skills required for optimal performance.
