Directions: Choose an athlete/coach that you admire or find interesting. Read at least two articles about this athlete that reveals his/her background and the ways in which he/she handles success (you MAY NOT use articles without authors such as Wikipedia, Bleacher Report or a biography website as one of your two main sources). Write a multiple paragraph essay in which you examine how the athlete’s background and/or personality qualities have influenced the type of athlete he/she has become, as well as the ways in which he/she handles fame and fortune.
As you work, if you need any help accessing an article, creating a citation, or finding more content on a particular person, visit the library or send an email to Mrs. Brannan.
