************************************************************** Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround ************************************************************** From: "David P. Dillard" <jwne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sat, 29 Mar 2003 07:10:26 -0500 (EST) I am reposting the message below that was a response to a professor in Australia regarding archival and other sources of video and audio materials about sports, in particular interviews with athletes and coaches. I think that some of the sources cited below may be of interest to any seeking archived sports or news content in general that is in video or audio formats. Some may also be interested in the annual Economics of Sports conference at Temple which appears to be a continuing annual event. ------------------------- Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2003 05:00:36 -0500 From: David P. Dillard <jwne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: Exercise and Sports Psychology <SPORTPSY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: SPORTPSY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: finding data - athletes talking There are a number of places that one may turn to for video and sound recordings of news and sports content recordings. National online catalogs like Research Library Group Bibliographic File (RLG) and the OCLC First Search Worldcat database can be limited to sound and to video materials simultaneously in the case of Worldcat, RLG can be limited to VIM or visual materials. Neither of these databases are available at your school (I checked), but you may be able to get access through professional courtesy at another university in Australia. You may not be able to get exactly what you are looking for in archived media at libraries and instructional materials centers but it is certainly worth trying. Searches in these and any other databases that you try should combine a method of limiting to video and/or sound media and combine keywords for athletes and coaches combined with the and boolean operator. You may also want to try the combination of those words in a newer Google service, promiss not to laugh, Froogle Google, which is a shopping product Google database. Here you may locate commercial videos and sound recordings, please notice the use of the word may in that sentence. Froogle Google http://froogle.google.com -------------------------- Another resource to consider that may produce content for you to the extent that coaches and athletes get interviewed on television is the Vanderbilt Television News Archive.

Speaking of Michael Sachs, our list moderator, his contribution at this event Temple University Fox School of Business and Management and School of Tourism and Hospitality Management Sports: Risking Danger for Dollars The Fourth Annual Economics of Sports Conference Wednesday, March 26, 2003 <http://www.sbm.temple.edu/eos2003/> <http://listmail.temple.edu/scripts/wa.exe? A2=ind0303d&L=sportpsy&T=0&F=&S=&P=244> was excellent. In particular he made valuable observations about youth sports in connection with the danger of sports and about the motivation of athletes that prompts them to take the risks and dangers of such competition. The comments of the Pennsylvania State Boxing commissioner and of the Philadelphia Flyers hockey club broadcaster were very informative and to say that this pair had personality would be the understatement of the year. Two interesting points made by conference presenters: Professional unionized team sports in some states of the United States have mandatory workers compensation for injuries. College football players are the most "dangerous athletes" because they are completely uncovered by accident and injury insurance and one reason that some jump to professional sports before their senior year is so that they will thereafter be covered by injury insurance protection. Those who hate boxing, if there are any of those out there, will find little support from the highly opinionated Pennsylvania Boxing Commissioner, who pointed out when questioned by a recreation professor from Temple in the audience, that boxing teaches discipline and has been very useful in cities like Philadelphia for getting youths off of the steet and away from crime. It is also a sport that eliminates excuses for poor performance, because one cannot point to someone else as the cause of ones failures such as he threw the pass too high to catch it or he did not block the player that tackled me. In boxing it is just you and the opponent. Well that just about raps up this message, have a great weekend all.
