...was first played in the campus gymnasium on a court roughly half the size of a regulated court today, between two teams of nine players. It was played with a soccer ball that was shot into closed-bottom peach baskets that were nailed to the gymnasium wall. In 1892 Senda Berenson, also a physical education instructor, adapted Naismith's game for her female students. The sport was modified for women to accommodate social conventions regarding their participation in sport, giving rise to women's basketball. Variations of women's basketball arose across the United States and in England. At a physical training college in England, the rules of women's basketball were modified over several years to form an entirely new sport namely netball. She divided the playing court into thirds, each containing three players per team that could not leave their assigned zone. Players could not hold the ball for more than three seconds, dribble it more than three times, or snatch the ball from another player. The first codified rules of netball were published at the start of the twentieth century, and from there, the new sport spread throughout the British Empire. By 1895, women's basketball had spread across the United States, with variations of the rules emerging in different areas. The published rules for women's basketball first appeared in 1895, written by Clara Gregory Baer, who was working as a physical education instructor at Sophie Newcomb College in New Orleans during the 1890s. Baer...

...Last weeks lecture presented the idea of politics in events, which personally I had never paid much attention too, however, over the course of a 1 and a half hour lecture, I discovered it is one of the most important factors within events. When hearing politics in events, I was under the assumption that it was the way in which the government responded to events in a religious and culturally sensitive manner, and the effects they have on the image of our nation. I was pleasantly surprised to find out there was much more to it then these basic assumptions. In particular, I was intrigued by the ideology of Nation Building and Image Enhancement, being the use of an event to upgrade a countries international image, (Schlenker 2015), something that is high on the radar in Australia after hosting the 2000 Olympic games and the upcoming 2018 Commonwealth Games being hosted in the Gold Coast. This idea sparked interest, which led me to research further into the upcoming Commonwealth Games being held in the Gold Coast, where I came across multiple articles surrounding the concerns of budgeting and benefits of these games. From these pieces I was able to gain a personal opinion on politics in events and relate it back to the theory being taught. Image Enhancement and/or Nation Building are one of the largest impacts and benefits from holding International and globally renowned events. In particular, sporting events. When I think back to the previous Olympic games, I think of London...

...12/11/13 Sports, Media, and the Fans: The Business of Selling Sports The relationship between sports and the media has evolved drastically thanks in part to the proliferation of electricity and its resulting technology. This relationship has now become the “defining commercial and cultural connection for both industries at the beginning of the 21st century. The media has transformed sports from an amateur pursuit into a hyper-commercialized industry, while sports have delivered massive audiences and advertising revenues to the media.”1 This symbiotic relationship has taken many shapes throughout the years, and each evolution in sports broadcasting has the intent of constructing larger audiences and markets to create higher revenues no matter the medium. In the long run, the only real loser in the sports broadcasting realm is the obsolete medium. As technology has evolved, the way in which sports have been presented has followed suit. “Over the course of the twentieth-century sport was transformed from a typically ad hoc unregulated amateur activity to one driven by professional standards and accountability at all levels.”2 This change came slowly at first, and has advanced rapidly over the past few decades. Now, due in part to advanced broadcasting techniques, watching live events and highlights of the day’s games can be brought to our fingertips with relative ease. Sports Coverage Before the Radio Before the broadcasting of sports on radio and television...

The objectives of Brand activation is to engage the customers emotionally and create trust among them. How Brand Activation of Red Bull is different from other brands? Most of brands generally focus on the advertising their media instead of their content. They spend 5 to 10 times on advertisements to try and promote that stuff which is of least importance to the people.
