Before we started the brainstorming process, for our final project, I knew I wanted to do something specific to my career choice. Now that I’ve had the chance to talk through some ideas I had floating around, I have decided to focus my project on Sport Psychology and Athletes. I want to create career profiles for some key players who have dealt with some kind of emotional challenge during their career. I will add different pieces of information to highlight some similarities and differences between the players.
I also want to add a small section that displays the economic disparities between men and women in sports. I am thinking about implementing each player’s estimated salaries within their profiles. I am already pretty well-educated in the world of sports, so I think this will be a great way to combine my two loves: sports and psychology.
My goal is to get people to understand the not-so-great areas in sports. For example, the amount of pressures athletes deal with can lead to extremely tough long-term issues. I want people to see how much money is getting fueled into sports, but how little many players actually receive. There is still much work I need to do to get my idea started, but I am pretty satisfied with what I have now.
