A person that falls in love with a sport at a young age will eventually grow up to be an athlete in the future. For example playing baseball as a child has less pressure than it does compared to playing in the major leagues. There is nothing but winning or losing and having fun. In the major leagues, a player is bounded to a contract. The money a player makes is solely dependent on the plays they pull off during the game. In baseball, power is a necessity a baseball player must possess. If the players do not meet these requirements, they result in using drugs like steroids to improve their strength. As drugs produce drastic side effects, the players risk harming their body. What goes on in their mind is simple, money. The contract that binds them gives them the wrong reasons for playing the game. Based on Joan Ryan’s “Little girl’s in Pretty Boxes” and Bill Paschke’s “For U.S. Women? Call this Title III”, there was nothing important enough than winning the champion title no matter what it took. The sports world had been corrupted by endless greed and harmful sacrifices.
Greed is known as one of the seven deadly sins. It rapidly increases a person’s desire and pursuit of power, status, and wealth. Greed can cause oneself to lie, to manipulate the situation or to betray for their personal gain. The coaches in “Little Girls in Pretty Boxes” by Ryan had a way with words. They would always twist their words “you’re trying to create a princess of the ice” (Ryan 582) knowing that it’s natural for girls to desire to become princesses. The coaches may want to create a perfect exterior visual of a skater, but what they truly wanted was a first place medal for their victories. The coaches’ mottos were if the skaters fit the requirement of being thin, then they had what it took to take home the gold. The coaches kept their eye on the prize where as their puppets of ice skaters started to rot and decay from the inside out.
im not sure if i should be switching the tenses when i'm referring to the book or not er im so confused
