E.Jones Journal Article Soccer

1. The article name is Hard Return and is an article from sports illustrated about Hope Solo and her problems with the U.S. National team and fight back to the team after disrespecting her coach and team mates. I found this article by using NC Live and researching articles that had to do with women's soccer then looking through all of the results. This article made me think of how precious your teammates thoughts are about you. Without respect for each other on the team it makes it very difficult for the team to properly function and understand each other. The author used personal quotes from all parties discussed in the article which very much so backed up the entire article. This article was very organized and easy to follow, because I was not aware of the issues on the team before the World Cup, the article explained the whole situation from he start so I could completely understand it then hear the news about it. The writing ability of this author I found to be pretty high because it did use all components of an essay we have discussed in class, like hook,purpose,body, transitions, introduction and conclusion. If I were using this article as the topic for my paper I would use some of the quotes by Solo's teammates and herself about the situation and how she was able to come up from this situation. If I were writing about this possible topics would be the difference between men's and women soccer, can a team function if there are some problems off the field and sports team conflicts. These topics would be easily talked about using this article.
