Girls on Guys sports team

Should girls be allowed to play on a boys sports team?
There’s
also a significant difference in what boys play and what girls play. Look in
most high schools today and you’ll find most males playing football,
basketball, and various contact sports. Girls tend to opt for non-contact
sports, such as volleyball, or they only participate in sports as cheerleaders
or managers. Again, there’s no appetite for this change from either side.
Take into
account the differences biologically. The average male marathon runner will
always run faster than the average female marathon runner. A professional
female weightlifter will never lift more than a professional male weightlifter.
It makes males biologically faster and stronger. Women couldn’t compete on a
team with men. Matches in any sport wouldn’t come down to who had the most
skill. It would come down to who has the most men and women on their teams.
We also
have to take into account the economic considerations. At the highest levels,
female sport has little publicity and smaller crowds. The paying public has
little to no desire to watch female sport. This isn’t about equality. It’s
about what people want and they want to see all-male teams.
Teams could
struggle to deal with women in the organization. For one, they would need to
invest in separate changing and shower areas. Smaller clubs and sports clubs
couldn’t accommodate this. And at the professional level where players earn
millions every year, females might have to leave the sport to tend to a
new-born. Unless professional sports placed a ban on women taking time away for
the purposes of maternity leave, this could have grave economic problems for a
club. It could even perpetuate a major salary gap between the genders.
Lucid Dreaming
7 Step to Start Lucide Dreaming
Lucid Dreaming is consciously being aware within your dream. When you are dreaming and you become conscious that you are dreaming you can start to control your dreams and the direction they go in. Lucid dreaming can help with recurring nightmares, solving creative problems, speaking with loved ones who have passed on, anxiety, and problem solving. It can be an exhilarating experience and the feeling of euphoria after your first few lucid dreams can last for days.
1) Remembering
your ordinary dream
Some people
say that they don’t dream, but everyone dreams. A lot of people say whilst you
may not remember them still dream, to start remembering your dreams try this simple
technique. Every night before drifting tell yourself that you will remember your
dream the minute you wake up.
2)Dream
journal
Writing a
few short sentences about your dream is also a good; you’ll get in the habit of
remembering your ordinary dream, also start looking forward to sleeping because
you’ll be to remember it after. It could be also called analyzing your thought
processes.
3)Pick a signs
A lot of
your dreams will have an object or people that could act as a cue to you waking
up in your dream. For example if you talk to someone regularly they will appear
in your dreams.
4)Notice your waking world
This might
sound crazy but to be conscious in your “dream world” means you have to be
conscious in your walking world. For example you are consciously focused when
learning a new task, or when you are thinking about every action and step you
are taking to get there.
Being
consciously focused means looking around you and saying what you see, feel,
hear, smell and touch and voicing it. This has the added benefit of being
in the moment and can help you to inner calmness, it’s almost zen like. If you start to consciously focus on
the world around you, you will carry this over into the dream world.
5) Ask yourself: ' Am I dreaming'
Ask
yourself just now ‘Am I dreaming?’. Your obvious answer is to say no, of
course you are not dreaming. How do you know? Don’t just say; because I
know, try and think about why you are not dreaming. For example you could
say if I was dreaming I would be able to fly. When you are dreaming you
cannot read text for longer than a few seconds, so try reading text to prove to
yourself you are not dreaming.
This again will carry over into your
dreaming world and you will start asking the same questions in your dreams
which can turn into a lucid dream
6) Your first lucid dream
Many people
have their first lucid dream simply by reading about it. You might find
that you become over-excited and lose the lucid dream however, you first lucid
dream will be remembered for years to come
7)Staying lucid
I have used
different techniques to stay within a dream however by far the best one is
calming me down with self-talk and dream spinning. If you find that you
are losing your lucidity you can talk to yourself to calm yourself down and
just start noticing the things around you in your dream.
Dream spinning is when you feel you
are losing control of your dream you mentally spin like a tornado to stay
within your dream. This is focusing the mind on staying lucid.
Have you ever had a lucid
dream? If you have why not tell us about it by leaving a comment
