Sports has an enormous impact on global society and brings about so much enthusiasm and passion for both athletes and fans. Sports teams allow people from a certain region to group together to support their team, and allows a city, state, or country to feel a sense of pride in the accomplishments of their home-town athletes. This begs the question; "Does creativity exist in Sports"?
Since different sports and athletic competitions have certain rules and regulations that must be followed, it can be considered a domain. Sports is a domain because it provides jobs, involves knowledge of the game, and is constantly being evaluated and changed. The field for professional sports is the scouts, coaches, and sports writers, for they examine the athletic talent and accomplishments and filter out the less talented. Since athletics involves primarily physical activity, the "flow" state where an athlete reaches his/her peak can easily be predicted by the age when the body is in the best physical shape. Like other creative endeavours, success in sports requires knowledge of the domain (the particular sport), motivation, hard work and practice, group collaboration, and finally improvisation. Therefore, I believe that Dr. C would agree with me on the argument that sports can be a domain for creative achievement.
