    USA TEAM: 2017 WORLD UNIVERSITY GAMES August 19-30, 2017, Taipei City, Taiwan INTRODUCTION The World University Games is the American term for “Universiade,” an international multi-sport event organized for university athletes by the International University Sports Federation (FISU). The Universiade is an international sporting and cultural festival, staged every two years in a different city around the world, representing both winter and summer competitions. It is second only in importance to the Olympic Games. THE USA TEAM (see: www.wugusa.com) The 2017 Summer Games in Taipei City, Taiwan will have U.S. representation in up to 22 sports. By contrast, the 2015 American team had 600 athletes and staff in Gwangju, South Korea. The following 22 sports competitions are open for U.S. representation in Taiwan: Athletics/Track and Field Football (Soccer) Table Tennis Archery Golf Taekwondo Badminton Gymnastics (Artistic) Tennis Baseball Gymnastics (Rhythmic) Volleyball Basketball Judo Water Polo Cue Sports (Billiards) Roller Sports Weightlifting Diving Swimming Wushu Fencing AMERICAN SUCCESS AT THE WORLD UNIVERSITY GAMES: The U.S.A. won a total of 54 medals at the 2015 Summer Games, finishing 5th in the world. Many now-famous athletes have represented the U.S.A. in previous WUG competitions prior to gaining stardom in the Olympics and professional sports. These include such elite athletes as Michael Johnson (Track), Charles Barkley and Larry Bird (Men’s Basketball), Matt Biondi and Michael Phelps (Swimming), and Lisa Leslie (Women’s Basketball). It will be exciting to see who the next future American star will be from this current pool of U.S.

    Corporate Social Responsibility in Professional Sports: an Analysis of the NBA, NFL, and MLB

    Corporate Social Responsibility in Professional Sports: An Analysis of the NBA, NFL, and MLB Richard A. McGowan, S.J. John F. Mahon Boston College University of Maine Chestnut Hill, MA, USA Orono, Maine, USA [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an area of organizational study with the potential to dramatically change lives and improve communities across the globe. CSR is a topic with extensive research in regards to traditional corporations; yet, little has been conducted in relation to the professional sports industry. Although most researchers and professionals have accepted CSR has a necessary component in evaluating a firm‟s performance, there is a great deal of variation in how it should be applied and by whom. Professional sports franchises are particularly interesting, because unlike most corporations, their financial success depends almost entirely on community support for the team. This paper employs a mixed-methods approach for examining CSR through the lens of the professional sports industry. The study explores how three professional sports leagues, the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Football Association (NFL), and Major League Baseball (MLB), engage in CSR activities and evaluates the factors that influence their involvement. Quantitative statistical analysis will include and qualitative interviews, polls, and surveys are the basis for the conclusions drawn. Some of the hypotheses that will be tested include: Main Research Question/Focus: How do sports franchises

    Mark Spitz Mark Spitz Won 11 Olympic Medals in 1968 and 1972. After

    Mark Spitz Mark Spitz won 11 Olympic medals in 1968 and 1972. After winning two Gold Medals in the 1968 Olympics in relay events and a silver and bronze in his individual events, Mark knew he had to do more to prove he was the greatest swimmer in the world. He returned in 1972 to win seven Gold Medals at the 1972 Munich Olympics, setting a world record of the most medals won in a single Olympic games. Mark held his record for 36 years before it was broken by Michael Phelps in 2008. Mark is also one of the most decorated Olympians outside the Olympics. He was voted “Athlete of the Century” in water sports and one of the six greatest Olympians ever by Sports Illustrated. Recently, the International Olympic Committee selected Mark as one of its five athletes of the Century. From 1965-1972, Mark set 33 World Records and was named “World Swimmer of the Year” three times. Spitz retired following his astounding success at the 1972 Olympics and went on to a career as a financial advisor and motivational speaker. He attempted a much heralded comeback in 1992 and despite besting his times from 1972, he failed to qualify for the Olympics. Although he is no longer sporting his famous mustache, Mark remains one of the most recognizable athletes in the world.

    Michael Phelps

    Reading Comprehension/Biography/Michael Phelps MICHAEL PHELPS Most people think that Michael Phelps is the best swimmer of all time! At the Olympics, where the fastest swimmers in the world compete every four years, Phelps has been the most successful swimmer in Olympic history. Michael Phelps was born in Maryland on June 30, 1985. He was diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as a child. He started swimming when he was seven because he had so much energy. By age ten, he already had set a national record in his age group. When he was just 15, he qualified to swim in the Olympics! Phelps has the perfect body for swimming. His upper body is long and thin. His arms are long and his legs are short. He has large feet. Together with hard work, these qualities made him a champion. Winners of Olympic races are awarded gold medals. At the 2008 Olympic Games in China, Phelps set a record by winning gold medals at a single Olympic competition. That record has not been broken. Phelps also set a record for the most Olympic medals won by any athlete ever, in any sport. He has competed in five ©2012-16 abcteach.com Reading Comprehension/Biography/Michael Phelps Name______________________________________________________Date______ separate Olympic Games.

    Swimming and Diving DIVISION I MEN’S

    Swimming and Diving DIVISION I MEN’S Highlights Michigan wins fi rst championship since 1995, 12th overall: — When Michigan’s Bruno Ortiz pulled himself out of the water after swimming the anchor leg in the 400- yard freestyle relay at the 2013 Division I Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships, the singing started. “Hail to the Victors” echoed around the Indiana University Natatorium at IUPUI March 30, beginning with two Michigan spectator sections on one side of the building and carrying over to the Michigan bench area on the pool deck. The Wolverines did not win the 400 free relay; they fi nished second. But it didn’t matter. Michigan had wrapped up its fi rst national team title since 1995 long before that fi nal relay event. It was the 12th national title for Michigan, and meant it was no longer tied with Ohio State for the overall lead in Division I men’s titles. “This morning, we just kind of let our passion drive us. And that was it,” said Connor Jaeger, who began Michigan’s title drive on the fi nal night of the three-day meet with a victory in the 1,650-yard freestyle. He also won the 500 free in the meet’s fi rst individual race. Michigan’s victory halted a two-year title run by California, which fi nished second. “We started four years ago working on this,” said Michigan’s fi fth-year coach Mike Bottom. “You do it one day at a time; you do it one student-athlete at a time.

    Analysis of Stroke Rates in Freestyle Events at 2000 Olympics

    ANALYSIS OF STROKE RATES IN FREESTYLE EVENTS AT 2000 OLYMPICS By David Pyne & Cassie Trewin Department of Physiology, Australian Institute of Sport The aim of this article is to examine the patterns of stroke rates of successful swimmers during the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Stroke rates of swimmers in the Final (top 8 swimmers) of selected Freestyle events were taken from the Competition Analysis of the 2000 Olympic Games (courtesy of the Biomechanics Department, Australian Institute of Sport). The stroke rates for each 25, 50 or 100m race split and placing in the 50, 100, 200 and 400 m freestyle events were collated. The interesting questions are … Were there differences in stroke rates between the sprint (50 and 100m) and middle-distance (200 and 400m) events? Were there any differences in stroke rates between the Men’s and Women’s events? How much variation in stroke rate was evident between swimmers in the same event? And how much difference was observed between first and last lap stroke rates compared to the average for the event for each individual swimmer. The individual and mean stroke rates for each of the finalists in the 50, 100, 200 and 400 Freestyle events are presented in Table 1. Statistical analysis (data not shown) indicated that there were no significant correlations between average stroke rate on any lap and final placing. The only exception was the Women’s 400m Freestyle where the placegetters had a significantly higher average stroke rate over the race than those swimmers finishing outside the medals. This indicates that there is considerable variation in stroke rate between different swimmers at the Olympic level.

    NCMS Zooms to 8th place team finish at 2014 Spring Nationals By Don Gilchrist Seventeen members of NCMS shined at Spring Nationals, May 1-4, at the George F Hanes International Swim Center, Santa Clara, California. This is the pool where the Olympic legends competed and trained, and considered the epicenter of competitive swimming over the last 75 years. Enthusiasm and excitement was rampant and gave rise to great swims by NC swimmers and fellow master swimmers. More recent legends participated and provided much thrill. They included Olympians Matt Biondi, Anthony Ervin, Josh Davis and Nathan Adrian (18.78 50 free and 41.13 100 free). NCMS member and national legend E Ole Larson, age 93, proved age is no hindrance by sweeping six events. Taking gold in all and having to purchase another bag to carry home the loot. One incredible feat! Below: Ole finishes the 1000 yd Freestyle Below: Matt Biondi and Jenny Perrottet, our secretary.
