The Final Mile

 Previously, I interviewed soccer player Gabriel Ortiz, with the information he shared I decided to include it in my fourth paragraph because I felt like it would strengthen the point I'm trying to get across. After a while of fixing up the paragraph and making sure that it transitions smoothly, I was finally able to get it done.


And now the only thing that is missing is my conclusion. For this paragraph, I felt like I needed to share a message to those that are currently struggling with their mental health because that was the purpose of me doing this research article in the first place. One way I did this is by sharing a message that coach Ochoa shared with me on how athletes can attack these negative comments in social media. 


And to finish the paragraph I decided to add my own message and what I learned from this research. The point of this paragraph is to spread awareness to the audience the importance of mental health. And I’ll state the quote coach Ochoa said, “There's going to be times where you might not do well and that is completely okay because we are all humans at the end of the day. Building your mental state is just as important as physical state.”

Things are About to Get Deep

  To continue with my article, I wanted to give the reader an understanding of how mental health outside of sports is crucial since many people struggle with it, even people that I know personally. I decided to do more research on mental health by first finding the general definition, the different types that exist, and the amount of people around the world that deal with mental health. The paragraph serves as the base to what I’ll be going into at a deeper level. I believe including this is important to enlighten the readers on the importance of mental health and how it correlates to my topic. I wanted to show an example of how social media can have a huge impact on people’s lives and I decided to use WNBA player Breanna Stewart's story. She had to deal with threats and homophobic emails that were being sent to her wife Marta Xargat during the WNBA finals. This was due to her missing one of the two free layups with 0.8 seconds left for the game, this caused her team to lose Game 2...

Intro

  My name is Jonathan Romero, and I’m more than happy to show my project on exploring the importance of athletes' mental health and how social media can play a huge role in it. So enjoy as I demonstrate my thought process in this blog. What made me want to write my magazine about the effects of  social media in athletes' lives is how much I relate to them. In the introduction, I share my life experience as a fútbol player, I didn't have the best teammates which made me leave the team. However our social media team was all about friendship and determination. Seeing this made me realize just how misleading posts can be to the audience.  This made me think, if this something so small can be badly represented, how do the professional athletes handle all the criticisms and post about them. They are well known that they’re life is pretty much documented. I started looking at stories from famous athletes such as Gymnast Simeone Biles how they are heavily criticized simply becaus...

More Than Just an Interview

  Hey guys, today I interviewed Hialeah Miami Lakes coach Ochoa. We talked through a zoom meeting that lasted around 30 minutes. At first I was nervous but luckily I had some questions prepared so when I started the interview I was well prepared. In the interview we covered a lot in the topic, it is something that she has seen as a major issue in current athletes. I recorded the interview to highlight the most important parts of the interview into my article and documentary. “Athletes tend to find self evaluation through social media by checking the comments made about them. It tends to be a source of ego boost for them, but what happens when they realize people are criticizing them? Will they let people’s comments persuade them into performing better or worse?” said coach Ochoa. Having that interview helped not only me in my research but self reflect. People are always going to have something to say but they don’t understand what it is like to be an athlete. And we shouldn’t let t...
