  • Austin Nettleton Texas Tech University MCOM 6050 Master’S Report
    The Continental Divide Examining the effects of the framing of snowboarding and its culture by major sports media organizations on audiences who do not follow snowboarding. Austin Nettleton Texas Tech University MCOM 6050 Master’s Report Acknowledgements This research paper is made possible through the help and support from everyone, including my peers, co-workers, friends and family. Especially, please allow me to dedicate my acknowledgement of gratitude towards the following significant advisors, contributors and persons of importance. First and foremost, I would like to thank my project adviser Ms. Jody Roginson, M.S. for her direct and unabridged guidance, support and assistance. She graciously read my paper, wrote in edits and gave suggestions for corrections and revisions, and kindly offered suggestions to areas of appropriate research, all while donating her valuable time into making sure that I was on the right track writing this paper. Second, I would like to thank Dr. Rebecca Ortiz for instructing me on how to write a research paper, as well as Dr. Glenn Cummins for taking time out of his very busy schedule to read my drafts and suggest edits and revisions. Third, I would like to thank my parents, grandparents and friends for their undying support and encouragement. This was my first ever research paper, and I had to take it on independently without funding, so their support, encouragement and words of wisdom gave me strength to push through and write the best paper I could possibly write. Finally, I would like to thank the many snowboarders and snowboarding organizations who contributed to this research with not only quotes and insights, but encouragement.

  • BOT Meeting Materials
    USSTF Board of Trustees' Meeting The Sonnenalp, Vail, Colorado December 3-7, 2014 Welcome Letter December 1, 2014 I would like to welcome you to the annual U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team Foundation Board of Trustees' meeting in Vail/Beaver Creek. We have an exciting few days ahead, including the Audi Birds of Prey race this week. After a very successful Olympic year, our athletes spent the summer training at camps around the world in preparation for the FIS Nordic World Championships in Falun, SWE, the FIS Freestyle and Snowboarding World Championships in Kreischberg, AUT and the FIS Alpine World Championships right here in Vail/Beaver Creek. The 2015 season started off on a high note with Mikaela Shiffrin’s GS win at the World Cup opener in Soelden. We had a great turn out at the Nature Valley First Tracks for the U.S. Alpine Ski Team naming at Copper Mountain. Our Foundation Officers, my staff and I are continuing to evolve the format of the board meeting to encourage further involvement, input and discussion from our board members. Similar to the summer meeting format, the chairs of each standing committee will be reporting on the work done in their areas of leadership. Additionally, the working groups created to address questions concerning "direct to athlete" as well as sport-specific giving have been meeting regularly and will report their conclusions. The meeting will also include an executive session designed to allow you to ask me questions in a confidential and privileged setting. I hope you will take this opportunity to engage with us.

And when was the last time you went to a student music performance, an arts opening, or a dance company showcase? At LC, peer support for the arts and music students is considerably dwin- dling as compared with the growing spirited support for the athletics. I want to tell you before anything else that I’m a violinist in the school orches- tra and a varsity fi eld hockey player in the fall. And that means I’m fair. By no means am I telling you to quit going to the games and instead to go watch a con- cert. Instead, I’m asking you for a heck lot more: consider going to both. Remember when our girls volleyball team played in the New England Final this past fall? Remember the Nothing but Nets charity game held by the boys varsity soccer team, the Play for the Cure held by the fi eld-hockey team? Th e school-wide peer support for these events was incredible, inspiring, and well-deserved. School spirit came to life in the sweat earned over hours of train- ing of the athletes, in the unifi ed cheers of the spectators and the fans.

  • Famous Snowboarder Pulls out of Slopestyle at Sochi Olympics by Los Angeles Times, Adapted by Newsela Staff on 02.09.14 Word Count 747
    Famous snowboarder pulls out of slopestyle at Sochi Olympics By Los Angeles Times, adapted by Newsela staff on 02.09.14 Word Count 747 Sage Kotsenburg of the United States makes his first run of the semifinals on his way to gold in the Men's Slopestyle in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Nhat V. Meyer/Bay Area News Group/MCT SOCHI, Russia – Slopestyle is the newest Olympic event. The form of snowboarding was always going to be a flashy addition to the Games. The sport is an acrobatic attack on a snowy course of rails and jumps. Danger wouldn’t just be part of the event. People would watch because of the danger. But did the 2014 Winter Olympic Games go too far? On Wednesday, Shaun White abruptly withdrew from slopestyle. White is the most famous snowboarder in the world. Is The Course Too Risky? White is still scheduled to compete in another event. He will compete in the halfpipe, where snowboarders do tricks on a ramp shaped like a half-circle. That’s no small matter. Many people think White will get a gold metal for his halfpipe tricks. He could become the first American man to win an event at three straight Winter Olympics. This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. 1 But White’s high-profile campaign to capture a medal in two events will not happen this year. This is another troubling development for the Winter Games. These games cost roughly $51 billion to put on. But concerns over safety, overspending, human rights and construction woes have become a big story.
