This image is correlated to the health aspect of sports. Mental health is something that is often brushed over when discussing the health of athletes #EM203Robert
Six-time Pro-Bowl WR Davante Adams is signing a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams, per source.
Adams arrives at a time the Rams are preparing to move on from standout WR Cooper Kupp.
https://t.co/TbVw5fqo5M provides a study on the lack of mental health support for athletes who play at an elite level and how these individuals are impacted psychologically. Great article that provides insight into this phenomenon #EM203Research.
Hey! I see that a major issue in professional sports is the lack of mental health support for athletes. Overtraining and burnout are common, yet mental well-being is often overlooked. How can sports organizations do better? @ECarabettaEM203#EM203problems
@EM203rsaltzman An issue I brought up in my mind map was long term physical damage to the body after retirement. There have been a plethora of professional athletes who have had health issues post retirement.
@EM203JBanks An issue I uncovered in my mind map is the level of potential for brain injuries within professional contact sports. We've seen a number of professional athletes develop severe brain injuries, and regularly see players lash out.
@EM203DJuarez a problem that I identified on my mind map was the over paying of professional athletes in certain sports. For example, the immense inflation within the NBA market where players like Ben Simmons are getting payed $40 million a year.
@EM203rsaltzman I agree. This course has been great thus far, and I also particularly enjoyed learning about learning theories. Looking forward to the future of this course.
I've really enjoyed my first few weeks #EM203Robin's course. I've gained insight into the world of education and also was able to learn a new skill. I look forward to the future weeks of this class, and learning more... about learning.
