The Influence Of Christine Sinclair's Soccer In Canada

In the poem “Canadian angels” by Lorna Crosier we can see that in the poem the players of the Canadian woman’s hockey team of the 2002 Olympic games team was a team to start young girls on a dream. The Canadian women’s hockey team was the team of Canada showing that the woman could show they themselves had just as much skill as the men’s team. The woman’s team was the team to show younger girls of the world that they two can be the best at what they do with showing their home country that they can win it all. Looking at the poem we can see the “Canadian Angels” were more then a team to win gold but a team to win the hearts of the people back in Canada. It’s clear that the Woman’s team of 2002 could make an impact on the country and the game they loved.

The latter conquest generated an unseen excitement about Women's sport in the general public. These events moved soccer from the back pages of a few big city newspapers to the covers of Newsweek, Time, People, and front of cereal boxes. Forty million people tuned in to Women's soccer team win the World Cup. This expansion of the U.S. soccer audience benefited not just the women, but the men's national team and Major League Soccer, too. These women showed great skill and determination even when they had not given obsession like Men's Team. The reward for their efforts was a gold medal victory with the winning goal.

Winners Never Quit! / Mia Hamm (Book) says “The world’s top goal scorer and three-time Olympian offers a soccer tale, putatively autobiographical, about a little girl whose tendency to stomp off the field when frustrated prompts her teammates to teach her a lesson. The text perfectly reflects a competitive child’s rage when things don’t go as desired.” The book could be an influence to kids to show them the importance of having good sportsmanship and not being too hard on yourself when you don’t win. Next, it says “Mia learns quickly that there will be times when she will score a goal and those when she will not, but playing the game is the most fun of all.”

The United States women’s national soccer team is the most successful female sports team in history. They also are the most winning team in women’s national soccer organization. The team has won three Women’s World Cup titles (including the first ever Women’s World Cup in 1991), four Olympic Women’s Gold Medals, seven CONCACAF Gold Cup wins, and ten Algarve Cups. Some of the awards they won off the field are receiving U.S Olympic Committee’s Team of the Year award in 1997 and 1999, and Sports Illustrated chose the 1999 team as the Sportswomen of the Year for its usual Sportsman of the Year honor. It is not that society does not remember all their success, but that media fails to help make their success famous and important. If media covers

Many young females in Canada grow up with the dream of playing professional hockey just like their heroes, but who are those heroes? All men, because women have not been given the same opportunities as men when it comes to professional sports opportunities in hockey. This essay examines how race, religion, and sexual orientation impact the knowledge of women's hockey in Canada, the problem of gendered and racist sports practices in Canadian women's hockey, and how there is a relationship between patriarchy, capitalism, and white heteronormative masculinity. Includes information on the new PWHL league and specific players. It also explains why certain mindsets are so deep-rooted and have endured the test of time.

Mia Hamm is the most talented women’s soccer player in the United States of America to date. She is one of the most recognizable soccer figures for both genders. She has dominated the soccer world since the late 1980’s, inspiring athletes across the United States and as well as the world. During her years on the U.S Women’s National Soccer team, she received numerous awards most notably the title for best all-around female soccer player.

Mia Hamm serves as a model for all collegiate and professional athletes combining her celebrity and passion for the

Hope Solo, a goalie for the United States Women’s National Team, as well as the Seattle Reign FC in the National Women’s Soccer League, is widely regarded as the best goalkeeper the women’s game has ever seen. With over 100 career shutouts on the international level, and numerous individual and team awards including two FIFA Golden Glove awards and a World Cup, it’s hard to deny her prowess. Solo has been on the national stage for over a decade now, and while heralded as a world class player, her career has been fraught with controversy. Solo: A Memoir of Hope was published in August 2012 and provides a unique look into the major events in Hope Solo’s life through her own eyes.

From a young age, children are conditioned to always think about what they want to be when they grow up. Many of them dream to be a ballerina, firefighter, or an astronaut. With age comes maturity, and those aspirations pass, but simultaneously new, more realistic ones arise. To reach these new goals, these children work toward their dream through dedication, which can be seen in the studying or training they do. In today’s society females have more opportunity to do what they dream. There are young women who are assiduously working to get a college degree and a steady job. Then, there are also women who are training to become a professional athlete, with the aspiration of becoming a member of the United States Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT). In today’s society, women can pursue their goals, however, if compared to men’s sports, there can be differences seen that keep women from reaching full potential, equality, and their dreams.

Not only does the U.S. Woman’s National Team have more success in recent years, but they are also better soccer players than the men. This does not refer to a head-to-head match between the USWNT and the USMNT, but the women play the game of soccer better and smarter (Reiher). In men’s soccer, the strategy of flopping has taken over the sport, which is when a player

The sports world has been a new area where women are recognized. In previous times women’s sports were almost non-existent. In schools many girl teams did not receive adequate funds for uniforms and equipment. Boys sports were much more popular, such as football or basketball. If a girl wanted to play a guy sport she would be labeled as a

In every country, soccer stars are celebrated, they are young children’s’ heroes, and they inspire nations. Soccer is played in small villages in Africa, suburbs in America, and the arctic tundra of Russia, it can be played anytime, anywhere. It is the only sport that serves as a universal language, citizens in every country know the basics of soccer. Anyone, of any age, can play. It serves as a common connection for humanity and the players set examples for most of the world. If women are not being paid equally on the only platform that has the ability to reach the entire planet, it is no wonder that so many countries do not believe in women’s rights. However, if they were paid the same as men, they would be setting an example for the entire world. Many countries would begin to better understand that women are equal. After all, so many of life’s lessons are taught to children through games, especially games like soccer. This sport is a very rare, if not the only, opportunity to teach the entire world that women are just as equal as men, and not just on the soccer field. Women’s soccer could serve as the messenger to the world, and “kickoff” a new attitude for the equal treatment of women and really get the ball rolling on equal pay for women. This sport has the unique opportunity to use its influence to change attitudes that will seep

The Margaret Eaton School (MES) played an important role in Canadian physical education during a period of time known as the “golden age” for women’s sport in Canada. This essay will discuss how Margaret Eaton School came to be and why it is considered one of the leading schools in the development of women’s physical education in Canada in 1901, with the help of Emma Scott Raff and Margaret Eaton. The school started out as “The School of Expression” focusing on theatre and physical culture, and later (1925) shifted its views to focus solely on physical education. I plan to argue that from 1901 to 1942, the Margaret Eaton School played an innovative role in Canada in the development of physical education by offering women a comprehensive

Yet, for all of this success the treatment of the women's game within FIFA is appalling. They are treated almost as if they don't exist within the organization, and it's not as if they don't try to get FIFA’s attention. In 2015, the Women's World Cup was due to be played, but before then an important issue had arisen: it was going to be played on artificial turf. Several of the World Cup-bound players complained, but neither FIFA nor the Canadian Soccer Association would have any of it. The CSA argued that the turf was FIFA-approved and therefore suitable for playing the game, and FIFA was silent on the matter. Furthermore, the CSA argued that the lawsuit is not valid because the majority of their playing fields are turf. Kate Fagan, a writer

The adverse topic of women in sports stems from society's disregard to viewing women as persons. Women were, and in other parts of the world continue to be viewed as property of men and have no significant role in society. Being allowed into the Olympics was a step in the right direction for women across the world, but it was meager attempt equality. Women were still restricted by what events they were allowed to compete in, how they were trained and coached and even limited as to what they could wear. A woman’s femininity played a large role in the way they were perceived by society; weak. Women were seen as incommensurate to men and it was something that has taken us centuries to reverse. Today, women are given the rights we should have

In the last one hundred years women have made tremendous inroads in many facets of life. Of that there can be little doubt. Women may now hold jobs, own property and participate in professional sports. Today women can compete in sports, once a vestige of male domination; there is now room for women in that arena. But even today women in sports are not portrayed in the same light as their male counterparts. To a large degree this is because of today's cultural ideal of women.
