Safety Practices in Sports
To first ensure a good and enticing game in sports, players must be properly dressed and prepared for competition. A majority of sport-related injuries are sprains, which are injuries to muscle fibers or tendons. Overstretching or over using a muscle can cause sprains. Fortunately, an injury so predominant can be prevented by a simple step: warming up before a practice. Warming up increases blood flow to your muscles and allows them to be more flexible, lessening the chances of a muscle sprain due to stretching them beyond their limit. Having said this, you should always sit down and take a break when you’re injured; it can lead to more severe injuries that can cause you to be put to the side. To further protect yourself, it is necessary to wear safety gear that is fit for your specific sport. These may include (but are not limited to) helmets, mouth guards, and knee pads. If you’re playing soccer, consider investing in soccer cleats; which have built in plastic spikes that prevent the risk of injury from falls and are worn for traction (the resistance against sliding). To invest in sport-related protective gear means preventing the investment for a taxing hospital bill. Another way to prevent a stay at the hospital is to properly hydrate. Hydration is an essential in terms of taking care of our well being. During competitions, we lose a lot of our water intake due to sweat. You should consume water before, during and after partaking in a sport. Even more so in hot climates, where your body heat can increase dramatically. Some symptoms of dehydration are dizziness, weakness and extreme thirst. Finally, always remember that one of the prime causes of sport-related injury is ignorance, always be aware of the proper safety precautions!
Answer:
"The Banana Tree" is a short story by Jamaican author James Berry. Gustus is a 13-year-old boy, the son of Mr. Bass. His father is a big man, not only physically speaking. Mr. Bass is seen as a reliable man of faith, who is friends with his community. However, Gustus' relationship with his father, at the beginning of the story, is filled with resentment. Gustus knows Mr. Bass is proud of him, of how big and strong he is. Yet, he feels unseen, misunderstood. Mr. Bass does not like what he likes, does not support his passion for cricket, and does not see his son's social needs - such as new shoes to go out with his friends.
Gustus has been taking care of a banana tree that was planted when he was born. Buried with the seed is Gustus' umbilical cord. In a way, Gustus and the tree are connected - his umbilical cord is nourishing the tree. He hopes to sell the fruit to buy himself the shoes he wants so much, but a hurricane hits his town. Gustus ends up leaving his family behind in the shelter to go prevent his precious bananas from being destroyed. However, the storm is vicious and hurts him badly.
At the end of the story, Mr. Bass and a searching party find Gustus. He asks his son what he did that for, and Gustus tells him the truth. Their relationship is immediately changed. Not only is Mr. Bass relieved to find his son alive, but he also begins to understand Gustus' needs. He even takes off his own boots to put them on his boy.
