My Contribution

When looking at sports values and sports psychology, it is easy to see that athletes take these ideals into their life. In almost all cases their lives are a function of these values and ideologies. But these ideals sometimes don't work in the real world. For minor leaguers, the values and characteristics that they were taught to be successful completely contrast the emotions generated by working for low wages. My original contribution will be to see how minor leaguers cope with the low wage life in respects to the sports mindset that has been ingrained in them.
