Advantages: Synthesis Assignment


Some people many have an advantage of being natural athletic. You may be naturally build for a certain sport, someone may be tall and strong so they would be built to play basketball. Another advantage would be the support system that an individual or team has. If you’re supported strongly you will think positive about the direction you’re headed in and you’ll have people to push you to reaching your goal. It’s the opposite for a bad support system.

 

Gladwell’s opinion to the daily question would be yes, people have advantages to a sport or activity that is played. The advantages that is used in this type of situation would be the cut-off for the age differences. If you’re at the cut-off of being too young for one age group you have the advantage of being older for another age group, when your older you are stronger and will be better.

 

I agree with Gladwell, those people who make the cut-off are more fortunate because they will be playing against others who are younger then themselves. I am in the same situation for soccer and this odp team. I’m at the cutoff where I am younger than most girls, and it was harder for me to make the team because half the girls on my team and older for the odp team.
