  • EXPLORING the PATH to SUCCESS of FOUR BLACK CANADIAN ATHLETES from the 1980S to 2017
    EXPLORING THE PATH TO SUCCESS OF FOUR BLACK CANADIAN ATHLETES FROM THE 1980s to 2017 GREGORY MAPP SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF EDUCATION NIPISSING UNIVERSITY SCHULICH SCHOOL OF EDUCATION NORTH BAY, ONTARIO © December 2018 iii Abstract The purpose of this study was to understand what has led to the success at the highest levels for some Black Canadian athletes. Specifically, what are the similarities and/or differences between and among these athletes that has led some to the pinnacle of success and others to not so fortunate circumstances? Through an investigation of 4 Black Canadian athletes, qualities, characteristics, factors, circumstances, and/or conditions were grouped, examined and the findings subsequently supported by my own personal experiences as a Black Canadian athlete in an attempt to understand what has contributed to the success at the highest levels for some Black Canadian athletes and not for others. My qualitative study revealed many similar and dissimilar qualities, characteristics, and factors that contributed to the successes of the 4 Black Canadian Athletes studied. The interpretation and analysis of the data collected divulged the following emergent themes: introduction to their particular sport, motivation, determination, challenges the athletes faced, the “IT factor”, and, a strong belief in themselves. The study concludes with some considerations for future study and suggestions to increase awareness, initiate discussion, and educate and encourage coaches, young

    USC TRACK & FIELD Times and marks for USC Track Athletes 1894 to 2018 INTRODUCTION This supplement booklet to the media guide is my effort to document every athlete who competed for the University of Southern California Track Team. Needless to say, I know everyone is not listed, but I did try. This booklet is a free download, but if you really like what you see here, I/we (Trojan Force) would be more than happy to accept any donation you’d like to send. That info will be at the end of this introduction. WHERE TO START? I wrestled with how to organize all this data knowing that the next person would have chosen a different format. But here it is, such as it is. With a men AND a women’s program we’re looking at some 6,000+ names who can be accounted for that competed for USC. This number doesn’t take into account all the relays as there are names on some of the relay teams that did not show up in any other results that I was able to find. Every effort was made to find a mark or time for every track athlete, but this just wasn’t possible. Athletes listed with no marks or times were the 2nd and 3rd place finishers in posted meet results. This booklet covers the years 1894 to 2018 for the men; the women’s supplement is still being “written” and I hope to have it done by the end of summer 2018. The early marks were gathered from posted results in the newspaper and the El Rodeo yearbook.
