	Careers in Sport Psychology
		Sport psychology professionals are interested in how participation in sport, exercise, and physical activity may enhance personal development and well-being throughout the life span.
		Sport psychologists are also involved in assisting coaches in working with athletes as well as helping improve athletes' motivation.
		As an academic discipline, sport and exercise psychology is the scientific study of people and their behavior in sport and exercise contexts and involves such topics as personality, motivation, attributions, arousal, leadership, and goal-setting.

	Sam Barry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Barry led the Hawkeye basketball team to Big 10 co-championships in 1923 and 1926 – the first two conference titles in team history – and helped Jones guide the football squad to an undefeated 7-0 season in 1922, winning a share of the Big 10 title – the last for Hawkeyes football until 1956.
		Tragically, it was while scouting a USC opponent that he died; attending a University of California football game on September 23, 1950, he suffered a heart attack while climbing the hill to Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, and died before reaching the hospital.
		Barry was also nationally renowned as an innovator – he was the person most responsible for the elimination of the center jump after every free throw and basket in basketball, a move which resulted in a much faster-paced game; and he was also behind the move to create the center line and 10-second rule.

	Sports and African Americans
		And in sports the contradictions between democratic principles and racial discrimination have been particularly glaring because athletics have been considered a sanctum of sportsmanship and fair play.
		Despite those ideals, in every avenue of sport, African Americans faced restrictions or were barred outright from participation because of the color of their skin.
		Despite its many barriers, sports stood as one of the early venues where fls gained a foothold, and it remains one of the best-publicized routes to success for African Americans.
