Statement of Intent

1.) One of the main goals I would like to accomplish in my capstone is to minimize the frequent episodes of sports injuries mainly in adolescents and children.  I would also like to bring awareness to this epidemic especially to parents, coaches, and even the youth. I think this will be a major benefactor in overcoming this dreaded problem.

2.) This issue is important because sports is a big part of youth's lives in today's societies. It is something they look to for recreation and even relieving stress. If these youth are being prevented from playing the sport they love because of nagging injuries, they are truly missing out on a special opportunity for them. This is why I am here to propose a solution in this multimedia capstone class.

3.) My future career is to be physician or even a surgeon in the field of Orthopedics, which is the study of the musculoskeletal system. Sports injuries are probably going to be one of the major issues I am going to face in my profession. I would like to start helping early with this epidemic and work mainly towards children and help them keep playing the sports they love.

4.) My project gives back to society by helping youth's continue to play the sports and physical activities that are dear to them. I am also helping preventing injuries so that they are able to do basic daily activities like walking or picking up things.

5.) The Richland triple bottom line is people, economics, and environment. The people I am mainly directing to is the youth who are in elementary, middle, and high schools, who participate in athletics. Economic wise, I think this is something that will undermine the economy because of all the money put into surgery and rehabilitation. Last but not least, the environment I am aiming towards is helping is more of a school environment because of the vast number of people and sports there.
