On Friday, May 31, 2017, I observed a sports bar on my friends, Jacob’s, twenty-first birthday party. I decided to observe a bar for my observation because I like to go play pool and hang out with friends there in my free time on the weekends; however, this particular bar I have never went to before. I went to the sport’s bar located in Meriden, Kansas. It can be found on main street, a little bar in the middle of now where. This bar was incredibly small. It had two different rooms. The room located as soon as you walked in was the smaller one of the two and this room is where the bar was located with people sitting around it on barstools. The second room was bigger and more spacious; this is where tables and chairs were located. We could order
Setting: That was Then…This is Now, had multiple settings but it was mainly placed in either Charlie the bartenders Bar, or in Bryon’s house in Tusla, Oklahoma. In Charlie’s Bar, there is a set of pool tables, lounge chairs and booths, and a long bar. It’s centered near an alley and has a big neon “Charlie’s Bar” outside of the building. Bryon and Mark usually go there to relax for a while, get a couple free cokes from Charlie, and hustle people into playing pool. Though Bryon and Mark are still underage to be in the bar, Charlie keeps a safe guard watching over the two, just in case one or two police come in for a drink. Bryon has a growing I.O.U fund for Charlie since he’s been getting about two cokes every time they go to the bar, but Charlie lets it slide because they two are good friends. The other main setting of the story is Bryon’s house. It is a two-story house, which resides Bryon’s mother, brother, and Mark. Mark lives there because Bryon’s mother had adopted Mark. Bryon’s house is located in the low-income area, where the ruffians live. Though there are a lot of gang-related people there, Mark and Bryon are good friends with everyone, and nothing bad usually happens in there presence.

The three groups: the professional players, the blue-collar players, and the teenagers, have forever transformed the atmosphere of the pool hall. While many stereotypes exist concerning what a pool hall is, many are not true. It is not full of "motorcycle people," nor is it a drunken scene as depicted in movies. It is a place of social construct, such as everything in society.
Ten minutes after lining up, I went inside the nightclub. From the door, I could hear the song and the beat of the bass so loud that my heart could feel it. Inside the nightclub, I saw people were dancing everywhere, on dancing floor, on their own seats, everywhere. They would dance and take a big gulp of their beer. Even the bartenders were dancing too, following the rhythm of the loud funky music. The rainbow rays of light moved through the club to make the mood even more exciting and funky.

On September 12, 2014, I observed two people; Person A and Person B. The observation took place at Applebee’s, a local restaurant, beginning at 7:21 p.m. and ending observation at 8:06 p.m. I was serving their table for the evening, enabling myself to observe them closely. The restaurant had died down from the dinner rush, leaving them one of three tables in the smoking section, normally filled with eight. Along with the outside light fading, the lighting indoors was dim, making the dining experience feel more quiet and intimate. The background noise was filled with a light roar of other group’s conversations, and a jazz station played quietly from the speakers overhead.

Honestly, coming into this class, I had no idea what to expect. I have never been in a sports management class, and honestly don’t know much about sports with the exception of baseball. All I knew coming into this class is that it was online, which was a benefit to me as in I’m a better learner when I get to work at my own pace. However, when I read the syllabus and figured out that this class would be mainly writing proposals on different topics, it began to worry me. The last time I had written an essay was my senior year of high school, so I knew I’d have to bring out some of the old knowledge to be able to write a quality paper again. Even though writing papers is a dislike of mine, these proposals turned out to be a good experience
Participation of children in sporting activities relies on the content the media presents. The media gives prominence to sports but with a degree of bias. The most prevalent sport in America today, as portrayed by the media, is football. Television channels portray it as a super sport. While such portrayals are essential in motivating children into participating in the sport, it deters the development of other sports in society thereby denying children who lack talent in the sport effective opportunities to hone their skills in other types of sports. Children or youth participation in sports is fundamental for the growth of each child, which involves psychology in children in sports. By utilizing coaching and mentorship, along with personal growth or development in each child, children can use sports psychology to mature their sports skills.
Then, the grouping of more specific because I noticed the fathers grouped together and shared a beer on the patio. I overheard them discussing the sports news for over an hour, which I assumed the more they shared a common the higher level of interest the conversation is for the both of them then allowing their groupthink bond to form stronger and more likely to attempt to relate. As more parents with children arrived (primary small groups) , they divided by their age group and gender. I noticed the moms were all sitting on the table, some with their babies in their lap. The women were divided in sub groups, some that stayed to talk longer and the ones that slowly drifted in other areas of the party. More men begin grouping outside, and in my opinion I believe the alcohol brought the social likeness to interact, I noticed more social interaction occurred with the people near the bar. But consumption of alcohol at the party would be considered a norm, once the host brought out the cans allowing the drinking to occur. As the party continued, some of the guests norms were revealed as they said their goodbye’s early when I heard about their early morning shifts from those which were apart of the work-group. I learned they believed in maintaining a schedule, they valued their job title, and held standards for themselves- which meant leaving a party early. The people that conversed in the work group, many of them left around the same hour of time. Perhaps the groupthink was in effect when one left the
