Abstract
This paper analyzes the leadership style of Vince Lombardi. It seeks to explain how his early upbringing and the events of his youth influenced him and eventually led him, almost by chance, to his true calling as a football coach. Lombardi is presented as a transformational leader who imposed his own vision of excellence in performance upon team members, while respecting each member as an individual and winning their loyalty and admiration. The paper asserts that his approach to competition and winning is defended against claims of some latter-day critics that Lombardi placed winning above sportsmanship and love of the game. In conclusion, the paper argues instead that the will to achieve peak performance and winning was, to Lombardi, inseparable from sportsmanship, and a natural consequence of love of the game.

From the Paper
"From the very outset, Vince Lombardi acquired and displayed one leadership characteristic with which he would always be associated---a strong belief in the importance of winning against all odds. Regarding the circumstances of his early upbringing as the first-born son of an upwardly mobile Italian-American butcher, David Maraniss observes: "[His parents] worshiped their first son more year by Year. . . . .His family stressed to him that being average was not enough, that he was better than the rest. They played to win, from Grandma Izzo at cards to Father Harry at Scrabble.... No one wanted Vince to spend his life cutting meat" (1999, 22-23)."

Abstract
The paper relates that Vince Lombardi may be the most famous football coach in history. The paper explains that the Lombardi mystique is not simply that he had winning teams, but that he was well-respected as a leader by the members of those teams. There are several factors that helped contributed to Lombardi's abilities as a leader; his personal religious commitment, his experience as both an amateur and professional athlete and his experience coaching for the United States Military Academy. The paper reveals that Lombardi never asked his players for more than he was willing to give as a coach and thus Lombardi became, not only one of the most successful NFL coaches in the history of the sport, but also one of the most respected and inspirational leaders in society.
From the Paper
"Lombardi was born to an Italian immigrant-father and first generation American mother in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. Lombardi was raised in a traditional Italian household and sought relief and guidance from his Catholic upbringing. In fact, at the age of 15, Lombardi "entered a preparatory seminary, a six year secondary program to become a Catholic priest." (Wikipedia). Although he eventually decided not to enter the priesthood, this experience stayed with Lombardi throughout his entire life. Not only did Lombardi remain a devout Catholic, but he used some of the leadership skills learned in the seminary to guide his leadership as a football coach."

From the Paper
"This study will examine the career of Vince Lombardi, Super Bowl-winning coach of the professional football team the Green Bay Packers, focusing on his success as a coach and a motivator. The study will concentrate on the techniques practiced and principles espoused by Lombardi which prepared his players to give all they had, both physically and mentally, for the sake of the team and victory.
Green Bay Packer quarterback Bart Starr, writing in Super Bowl: The Game of Their Lives, writes of the pride for the National Football League which Lombardi instilled in his players as they prepared for the first NFL-AFL Championship Game in 1967. This was not an idle build-up based on pride as individuals, but was instead a part of Lombardi's overall approach which stressed the giving of the individual's all for.."

From the Paper
"Vince Lombardi, the famous football coach, was born in 1913 and died in 1970. His blind fanaticism to the game of football made his athletes play for him as no teams had ever played before. He inspired great admiration and great anger in his men. For example, in his first days with the Green Bay Packers, Coach Lombardi found veteran player Max McGee breaking a training rule--and he smashed McGee's head against a dormitory wall. McGee responded to this with, "I'm not going to play for that...He's a Madman.".
Lombardi agreed with McGee's assessment of him. Lombardi viewed football as a special madness and he was proud to be the most committed leader in the game. The men on his team, halfback Paul Hornung, quarterback Bart Starr, guard Jerry Kramer, and fullback Jim Taylor, responded to Lombardi and put.."

Abstract
Examines how athletics help to develop leadership qualities. Importance of issue. Social context. Focus on team sports as illustrating relationship between leader & those he leads. Vital role of the coach. Importance of rules. Gives examples of specific coaches (Phil Jackson, Vince Lombardi) & players (Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal) with leadership qualities.
From the Paper
"This study will examine how athletics helps to develop leadership qualities. This issue is important because of the emphasis on sports in modern society, and, therefore, both young and older athletes learn many lessons about life and behavior from sports. It is also crucial to differentiate between the emphasis on winning that is so prevalent at every level of sports today, and the leadership which transcends victory or defeat. By "leadership," this study will refer to those qualities which drive an individual to excel himself or herself, but which also drives that individual to help and inspire others to reach their potential as well in a team-oriented, cooperative atmosphere. An excellent player will always want to excel, but an effective leader must practice and instill in others on the team the desire to excel as a team, not merely as a group of individuals. In..."

Abstract
This paper reviews the failure of the XFL, the sports league created by Vince McMahon. According to this paper, the reasons for the failure of the XFL are a lack of proper market research, relationships with press and media, over-saturation, poor sponsorship choices, inconsistent rules, and outright negativity and vulgarity emanating form the league.
From the Paper
"The XFL was planned primarily based on data from NFL viewers and ratings. However, since the XFL's vision was basically to eradicate the rigid rules and strictness of football today and allow a pure and truly rough football to emerge, the basis for this data is not very strong. The typical viewer of football was by the data not generally what the XFL was looking to attract, with an ever-aging average population of viewers. Not conducting the proper premarket research was one fatal error of the XFL.
Another major faux pas of the XFL was the owner Vince McMahon's approach with the press. From the very onset of the idea, he bashed the NFL, which through his own research, was proven to be the most successful sports league ever in terms of viewership and popularity. Many potential and loyal NFL viewers may have been negatively affected by this and would therefore never even give the XFL a chance. By insulting a grand viewer base at the introduction of the league, the owner's own press approach was self-crippling."

Abstract
The paper reviews the article, summarizing its main points, such as the fact that the said act would be ineffective to the California Justice System, would further worsen the juvenile youth?s condition, and benefit only California Governor Wilson and his backers on the said proposition. It then goes on to explore the flaws of the article, giving 3 main reasons why its arguments are not sound.
From the Paper
"The article ?Money + Politics = Jailed Kids,? written by Vince Beiser and Karla Solheim for Mother Jones Magazine is an article that talks about Proposition 21, or the Gang Violence and Juvenile Crime Prevention Act. This act was controversial because of the effects that the proposal might have on the California justice system once it is approved. Proposition 21, the authors, explain, ?would require kids as young as 14 to be tried on adult court for crimes such as murder or serious sex offense, give prosecutors expanded powers? and sentence anyone 16 or older convicted in adult court to adult prison.? Beiser and Solhem also gives a brief background on the Proposition?s origins, stating that former California governor Pete Wilson was the one who conceived the idea of the said proposed act, ?backed by? criminal justice and victims? rights groups,? as well as law-enforcement officials. The article then proceeded to the main issue--- that the said act would be ineffective to the California justice system, will further worsen the juvenile youth?s condition, and benefit only Wilson and his backers on the said proposition. All throughout the article, the authors gave their reasons for their denouncement of Proposal 21, which provided the readers several statements from organized youth activist groups, law enforcement officers, and the Catholic church."

Abstract
Prevailing political theories do not completely capture the opportunities and obstacles facing Hillary Rodham Clinton, for no woman in American politics has ever been a powerful and influential First Lady, a prominent senator from a major state, and an acknowledged front-runner for the Presidency. In addition to this unique combination of accomplishments, no woman in American politics has ever been demonized by political opponents like Mrs. Clinton has, for she has been relentlessly slandered by conservatives as a dangerous radical and has been accused of criminal conduct ranging from Whitewater fraud to the murder of Vince Foster. This paper presents a political profile of Hillary Rodham Clinton and examines what opportunities and obstacles lay ahead for her in her political life.
