Although it is clearly evident that participating in sports is much different than observing sports, they are both often put together and talked about on the same spectrum. It sometimes can get confusing on what one may be saying about a sport because you can not distinguish whether it is from a spectator or a participant point of view. They are strongly connected still however. Many participants of a sport however got introduced and taught there very sport through the spectator point of view. For me, this will be one of the points i will use this very strongly in the first paper i write.
When i started playing baseball at 4 years, i already had my mind made up that baseball was my favorite sport and the one i wanted to play. This is strongly connected to the point the textbook made on how participant connection through a sport often begins with a spectator connection. For me, every time i sat down to watch television with my dad, a baseball game was on. He would always tell me stories and give me information on the game daily. Without this I don't think I would have the same love or even be interested in sports in the first place.
