In week one, I would cover the creation of the NFL and the financial impact it had on the economy during the time period. I would discuss the cost to attend a game in the 1920s, the startup costs to run a team, and the media marketability of each team. Then, I would move into the second week of the course, but in the second week we would analyze

    Ever wonder what gives top athletes that extra edge that makes them the best? Through my passion for soccer I have been drawn to reading countless articles and books on soccer, and athletics in general, in an effort to answer this question.

Similar books such as Faster, Higher, Stronger by Mark McClusky and Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell have also always peaked my interest to answer my question that seemingly has no answer.…
