There are loads of professional sports in the world today and everyone’s either playing them or teaching them, and going to other country and introducing the sports that we play around the world so that they can play it in there community.
For footballers they make a hell of a lot more money than the rest of the professional sports played in the world today. Each player at an elite level would get played in the premier league the average salary is 1.1 million a season. Cristiano Ronaldo, however, makes 14 million a season.

There are many different sports in the UK and out of the UK. Also some countries have changed some of the sport rules and playing of this into there sport which makes them unique, such as we play cricket and America play base ball.

Sports person I chose: Lewis Hamilton.
Lewis Hamilton is a (GBR) diver; his car he drives is the McLaren. He gets sponsors from Ron Dennis, Mercedes-Benz, Vodafone, Bridgestone and many more.
Hamilton began karting in 1993 at the age of eight, at the Rye House Kart Circuit and quickly began winning races and Cadet class championships. At the age of ten he approached McLaren F1 team boss Ron Dennis for an autograph, and told him, "Hi. I'm Lewis Hamilton. I won the British Championship and one day I want to be racing your cars." Dennis wrote in his autograph book, "Phone me in nine years, we'll sort something out then." From the Cadet ranks, he progressed through to Junior Yamaha (1997) and Ron Dennis actually called him in 1998 after Hamilton won an additional Super One series and his second British championship. Dennis delivered on his promise and signed Hamilton to the McLaren driver development program. This contract included an option of a future F1 seat, which would eventually make Hamilton the youngest ever driver to secure a contract which later resulted in an F1 drive.

Sports Medicine.
The branch of medicine that deals with injuries or illnesses resulting from participation in sports and athletic.
A sports medicine specialist is a team of individuals, which specialized in all the sporty health care education and training who focuses on the medical and therapeutic aspects of sports participation and physical activity. If you were to have an injury you can go to someone who can either give you a personal massage if you have tight muscles or pulled a muscle then they will tell you what you need to do to make sure you don’t cause proper damage and make sure they sort it out for you without going to the hospital.
Physiotherapy provided by the National Health Service is free of charge to British citizens. Private physiotherapists may be costly; commonly a half hour appointment will cost between £30 and £60 depending on the nature of a patient’s condition and subsequent treatment. Some private healthcare insurance plans cover private physiotherapy; you should check the details of your policy before opting to use a private service.
In any physical activities club they have always got to have there own sports medicine people so if any of there players gets hurt and they want to come back and make a full recovery instead of going through the hospital rout which will take longer to get better so they will have people that know what they are talking about and knows how to make people with a injury heal quicker.
Sports Broadcasting.
Sports broadcasting can be anything like watching the news and listening to the highlights or going on to the BBC website and watching the game or the best bits back after the matches like goals decisions that were made and tackles that happened, they will show all of this. Also looking into the news paper will give you some of the in site to what happened in the match.
The BBC and Sky have joined forces to secure live rights to Formula One motor racing in a seven-year deal from 2012 until 2018 – but only half of the races will be broadcast on the BBC (from the website) http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jul/29/bbc-sky-share-f1-broadcast-rights
There has been something in the news where a lady wanted to play a Greek sports broadcasting in her pub which would cost her £100 a month instead of the £800 that the sky sports wants her to pay but she’s appealing to the EU saying its not fair that other people are doing it and she’s being told she cant and the EU have granted her permission for doing so but the law is going to change. (web link) http://news.sky.com/home/article/16082250
Target groups for sports broad castings are people who wanted to hear about the game instead of watching it or if they have missed it or if they have to go to work then they can listen to the game on the air and still know what the score was or who got and gave penalties away. Some of the sports broadcasters aim at certain groups some of the more unheard about sports like gymnastics and darts don’t get broadcasted.
If someone who was a big bath rugby or football fan and they cant make it to there games because of work or what ever then they can listen to the highlights on the radio. Now a days sky can allow you to record something you miss or what ever you didn’t get time to what and then you can watch it when you’re done even though it will already been over you can still know what the out come was.
Sports tourism
Sports tourism is where people go around the world to watch there home team play in a sporting event. Like watching sporting events then they can go around the world and watch them play. The Olympics is the best one for people going around the world and watching them play in the individual sporting events that are being played in the Olympics.

ReplyDeleteWell done on completing most of the sports components descriptions but you are still missing health and fitness.
To improve your work you need to re-read your work to check for basic grammar errors. At times you need to use commars to break up your sentences. Often if someone else reads your work they can pick up mistakes you forget. Also look to ensure that every section of each component is filled out with maximum detail as it is easy to tell which components you wrote first.
