Introduction: The athlete that is being tested is 18 years old and he has been training for 4 years, currently playing at the NCAA Division 1 American football. This athlete has got 179.2cm height and a body mass of 82.4kg, which makes his physical attributes relatively good as a wide receiver, as they need to be lighter and are normally lighter than the rest of the athletes in an American football team, The wide receiver is charged with the responsibility to receive passes from other athletes, this will in turn make him an athlete that needs to be light in order to outrun the other athletes, Robbins (2011) indicates that based on sprinting tests done in his research wide receivers due to their lighter weight are able to perform better at 9.1m, 18.3m, 36.6m sprints having the best performance out of every athlete measured in the team, for the exception of the cornerback. This happens because cornerbacks are responsible for preventing receptions therefor making them a better athlete in order to block the wide receivers. According to Robbins and Young (2012)
One of Bernie Sander’s many plans to institute true equality in the United States is to eliminate institutional discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, or race. This includes sexual orientation discrimination in schools, something that has become real issue for some of the United States’ children as even elementary age children can be kicked out of school based on their parent’s sexualities (Prachi.) and many states have no laws against such actions.

Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, the founders of Apple, shared many of their traits, but they differed in many others as well. Steve Wozniak started getting interested in electronics at an early age and thereby became a pure breed engineer. He always loved engineering and creating and his goal was never to make a big profit, but rather to amaze people by his designs. Ethics also played a huge role in Steve Wozniak’s life and his strong views on the topic were always apparent during his time at Apple. For example, when early apple employees were, in his opinion, treated unjust with regards to Stocks, he sold his own stocks for a below market price to them in order to make things right.
A leader to me is someone who can create something no one would normally make. Anyone can say they can build a house, but many few can actually build a house as tall as the tallest structure New York Leaders are made in many forms and industries. They can be small or big as a skyscraper and create something from scratch like Bill Gates, whom was a predetermined destiny to be a lawyer like his father or be in an organization like food banks, and volunteer ships. Some people follow their parents or someone else’s destiny or be the lone wolf that did what the others didn’t for example if your mom was in the army, you’d try to not join the army and do something else like being a doctor or helping people in need. I don’t know about you but with having the same name but different roman numerals it could be different to distinguish but

But when it all got famous he decided to make it bigger and better by making the iPad that runs more apps than a iPhone. Now the apple company is up to their sixth iPhone and Steve Wozniak had good and bad comments about it. When Steve Jobs made his first apple computer he made it with Steve Wozniak after dropping out of college they met when Steve Wozniak was working at ATARI and then since Wozniak knew how to build electronics he and Steve Jobs made the apple computer which still wasn’t that famous until Steve Jobs kept making the rest of the computers
