Assignment Question
Overview The final project for this course is a case study analysis of a real-world athlete who is having issues with his or her athletic performance. The case study will have a sports psychology focus—the role of emotions, the role of stress, different coping techniques, and so forth—and will focus on individual or multiple areas that an athlete would want to address to improve his or her performance. The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure the quality of the final submission. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two and Five. The final submission will occur in Module Seven.
Outcomes This assessment will evaluate your mastery with respect to the following course outcomes: Evaluate common problems in athletic performance within the context of psychological issues related to athletic competition Relate key theories from multiple areas of psychology including personality, motivation, and biopsychology to major concepts in the field of sport psychology Analyze the relationship between athletic competition and the pursuit of excellence in other human endeavors Critically evaluate current research relevant to sport psychology and theories of athletic competition

Plan of Action What specific recommendations should be made to improve the athlete’s psychological well-being? Relate each recommendation to a concept or theory in sport psychology and substantiate each recommendation using a scholarly resource. What motivational theories could one utilize to help improve the athlete’s performance? Substantiate each recommendation using a scholarly resource. How would the recommended plan of action help the athlete regain his or her elite status? Discuss potential improvements related to each problem identified in the case introduction.
Implications To what extent is your plan of action applicable to an “average” athlete struggling with a similar problem? In what ways might the problem and plan of action relate to other human endeavors outside of athletic competition? Provide specific examples to illustrate your claims.

Use the information below to write the paper
1. I will not change much after the mid-term assignment. I will still choose JP Morgan as the highest target I want to enter. In addition, other financial companies are also my next choice. As I said above I want to fully understand the economic situation and how money is operated in large companies. 2. Too much knowledge for me to learn, because I want to learn quickly to graduate with 15 units per season. Also balance work and study. Strategies: I will always spend Sunday reviewing my work and assignments to plan for the next week. I will always do my homework and check my homework before I go to work because after coming home from work I am very tired and in no mood to do my homework. Luckily I was covered by fafsa so I didn’t have to pay tuition. However, I don’t work much because I spend my time focusing on studying Graduating with barchelor degee is something I am very proud of personally and for my family. Because I will be the first in my family to achieve. My parents put a lot of trust in me. They left Vietnam to come here to support me. Graduation is also a solid foundation for me to pursue my further dreams, such as owning and investing in business. Because before I thought I would never be able to graduate, it was also a spiritual fire for me to do greater things. Whenever I don’t understand a lesson, I always go to the teachers at office hours to clarify any questions. And I always participate in school activities to have the opportunity to meet people who share the same passion as me. It’s not like a career fair. There I met and understood a lot more about big companies and I also had the opportunity to apply for those companies. 3-5 year career plan: I will work full time for a financial company to earn some capital and experience, then I will retire to work part time and start a home and franchise business. I will invest in stocks or funds with high APR while I work so my savings can grow faster. Once I’m sure, I won’t let my parents go to work anymore. Here are the steps that I would take and keep track of 1. I plan to use my degree to work for a finance company or bank. My primary target company is JP Morgan. I choose this path because it will be a solid foundation for me to have the opportunity to deepen my understanding of the finance field 2. Real Estate: Engage in house flipping for short-term gains and long-term asset building. My father excels as a construction worker, yet due to language barriers, he remains employed by others. My objective is to create a small business for him, where I can take on the role of manager, overseeing house repairs and sales. Having previously worked in a prominent financial company, I gained a deep understanding of economic dynamics. This insight guides my decisions on when to engage in property flipping and when to acquire homes for personal investment. Recognizing the significant demand for rentals, this strategy also serves as a means to generate consistent monthly income 3. Finance: Facilitate loans, both personally and professionally, to support my financial endeavors. I’m eager to master the art of securing loans for myself, gaining insight into the types of loans suitable for my business ventures and real estate endeavors. Additionally, envisioning a company that not only specializes in selling and repairing homes but also offers lending services to customers, providing a comprehensive and convenient solution 4. Entrepreneurship: Establish and operate restaurants and bars, contributing to the business landscape. I will participate in other business areas such as restaurants and bars. I will franchise this area because I don’t have much time to build a restaurant’s reputation. I chose this direction because food and drink are essential for humans. And it doesn’t take much effort because once everything is completely set up it will work on its own 5. Investments: Pursue passive income through strategic investments, focusing on high-yield opportunities like stock dividends or lucrative funds. After BUAD 300 class, I was very confident and clear in my career, because I met many people with the same ambitions as me to share experiences. Additionally, the assignments I do in class help me plan my next steps toward graduation. For example, write down your goals and next steps. And after many presentations and discussions in class, I am now not the least bit timid when speaking in front of a crowd. In addition, I learned about the school’s scholarships, which I never thought I would do because I thought I would do them in vain. The teacher and other students shared their opinions and ways to be selected for scholoship, helping me accumulate a lot of good ideas. In addition to studying, I also learned how to live and very profound lessons about life through the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

Assignment Question
Research Question: How did the 1984 Sikh Genocide shape the discourse on minority rights and religious freedom in India?
Below is an outline of what you should answer or address in each section:
Introduction What is the research puzzle? For example, what about your country of expertise led you to this question? As an example: In class, we discussed the puzzle of when racial/ethnic conflict occurs and why it occurs when it does. We asked questions like, “Why did the Rwandan Genocide occur in 1994?” (both the question of why then versus another time and the question of why did this conflict happen at all) What is the research question? This is the question that would add to the political science literature on the topic. As an example: For the puzzle mentioned above, one might ask the larger question of “Under what conditions does racial/ethnic conflict occur?” Note that this question is not specifically asking about the Rwandan Genocide, but it may look at the Rwandan Genocide as a case study to answer this question. An easy way to think of what makes a good research question that seeks to explore a causal relationship is whether it can take the form mentioned above: “Under what conditions does Y occur?” OR “Under what conditions does X [lead to/increase/decrease/etc.] Y?” This is for the situation in which you are interested in the effect of a particular variable – for example, “Under what conditions does nationalist rhetoric lead to ethnic conflict?”
Background: Provide the historical background of the topic – Where and when does this issue arise? Who are some of the important actors that someone should know about if they are looking at a project on this topic?
Literature Review: What have scholars said about this question – or at least the general topic? Use sites like the library website and Google Scholar to find relevant articles If scholars haven’t asked this exact question already, then what related questions have they asked? If they have asked this question, then what would your project add to the scholarly conversation? Would you be looking at a case or cases that other scholars have not examined and seeing if existing theories apply? Would you be taking an argument from a related topic and seeing if it applies to your topic?
Works Cited: List OR Footnote Citations List, in full citation form, all of the resources that you have referenced for the research. You may choose whatever citation format you want, as long as it is consistent throughout the paper: for example, if you choose to use Chicago format with footnote citations, then you should use that throughout the paper. If you choose to use APA or another parenthetical citation format, then make sure to include the citations (author name, year, and page numbers where needed) within the body of the paper, with the full citation in the Works Cited list at the end.
