Read the pages of the book provided in the attachments and answer all of the following study questions with 3-6 sentences.
What were the historical and intellectual roots of the Olympic Games and the World Cup? What were some of the most significant challenges faced by promoters of these two sporting spectacles?
Did the idealism and lofty goals of Olympism result in Olympic policies that promoted social justice? How did women, ethnic minorities, and members of the lower socio-economic classes fare in the early years of the Olympic movement?
Are statements of value and purpose, such as those contained in the philosophy of Olympism, useful or not?
Did amateurism preserve the purity of the Olympics, or was it used for less ethically defensible purposes?
Why did sport emerge as an important political tool? How is it still used for political purposes today?
Is the logic of business compatible with the logic of sport? Why or why not? How has the commercialization of sport both helped and harmed our games?
How does the notion of good stewardship relate to obligations carried by sport entrepreneurs? What kinds of actions would good stewards undertake?
Student Exercise:
1. Can separate ever be equal? Does the segregation of girls and women on separate teams from boys and men perpetuate the idea that they are inferior athletes?
2. Would creating teams without regard to gender-for example, having a single, coeducational basketball team at school-do more harm than good? Explain your reasoning.
3. If gender-specific teams are retained, should outstanding female athletes be allowed to join boys’ and men’s teams? Conversely, should unusually small men be allowed to join a female team?
4. Since popular sports such as American football, basketball, and soccer favor the male physique, should new sports be developed that are more gender neutral or even favor the female anatomy and physiology?

So we have a group project for one of my sports classes. I am going to attach a document with the directions, an example, and a copy of the paper we are working on. I am doing the personality and job satisfaction/design. You can find what’s needed for both of those in the directions. Our budget is listed at $189,400. We have around $70k left to spend on my two parts so plan those out accordingly. The directions should be a fine enough guide for what to do. The school our project is on is Penn State University. If you have any questions let me know.

The goal of this assignment is to help you become familiar with categorizing locus of control (Internal versus External), defining if the individual is being influenced by their perceptions of a powerful other, and analyze if there are motivational or external constraints present in each case study.
The format of the assignment will be:
150 to 200 words per case study answer
12 point, times new roman font
APA citation and referencing were appropriate
For this assignment you will label each case study related to locus of control in the following areas:
What locus of control is the client demonstrating (internal or external)?
Are powerful others available to influence behavior positively or negatively?
What internal and external constraints are these clients observing?

Case Study 2Jerry has been working out all summer for his big shot at college swimming. He focuses on his technique in the pool and his times have steadily been going down. Lately, he has noticed his body feeling strong and more ready for the challenge of each workout.

Mastering each phase of his swim has motivated Jerry to drive to the pool at 5:00 a.m. and begin workouts before all other swimmers are in the pool. His teammates think he is crazy, his significant other encourages his drive, and his parents are concerned that he might hurt himself.
