I chose this book because I play baseball, and am a pitcher, so it is something that could help me as a baseball player and also as a fan of the sport. I learned while reading this book that the surgery can actually be something that is very beneficial for a lot of players. Before I read the book, I thought that this surgery was something that is very bad and can possibly mean no return to baseball for the players that have the surgery. But, the book changed my thinking by showing how the surgery can resurrect the careers of the players that need it.]]> 2017-11-21 03:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nk1000037/72eupwqicige/wish/208954528 nk1000037 https://padlet.com/nk1000037/72eupwqicige/wish/208956788 This article from Sports Illustrated is about a study that showed a connection between NFL players and CTE. I chose to read this article because  concussions have been a controversial topic over the last couple years, with the number of concussions each year in the NFL rising.  I learned from this article that CTE is found in many current and former NFL players.  This article has changed my thinking because before I read it, I thought concussions weren't that big of a deal.  But after reading the article, I have now realized that concussions is something that needs to be prevented]]> 2017-11-21 04:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/nk1000037/72eupwqicige/wish/208956788 nk1000037 https://padlet.com/nk1000037/72eupwqicige/wish/208960635 Tommy and Frank is a documentary by ESPN about the first ever player to have Tommy John surgery and the surgeon who performed it.  I chose to watch this documentary because this surgery being performed was an iconic event in baseball history and how it has lead to the surgery being performed so often today.  I learned from the documentary that at the time the surgery was a very big risk because it had never been done before. This documentary has changed my thinking about this surgery because it has showed me how revolutionary this surgery was at the time, especially because it was successful.  ]]> 2017-11-21 04:54:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nk1000037/72eupwqicige/wish/208960635 nk1000037 https://padlet.com/nk1000037/72eupwqicige/wish/208962449 This article was from the New York Times and was about the the United Nations climate change talks in Germany. I chose this article because climate change is something that is very important to the future of the Earth. While reading this newspaper article, I learned that global warming is something that will have to be contained on a smaller scale with governments making changes to reduce climate change. This article made me change my thinking on climate change because now I know what the consequences of climate change continuing could be, and that they are things that have to be prevented. ]]> 2017-11-21 05:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nk1000037/72eupwqicige/wish/208962449 nk1000037 https://padlet.com/nk1000037/72eupwqicige/wish/208970775 This was an interview by the WorldWatch Institute with James Hansen regarding climate change and how it could effect the Earth. I chose to watch this interview because the interview talked about when people first became aware of climate change on the Earth. From watching this interview, I learned how James Hansen did all his research on climate change, leading up to his testimony on climate change in 1988. This interview changed my thinking on climate change because it showed me the importance of climate change needing to be stopped.]]> 2017-11-21 06:40:49 UTC https://padlet.com/nk1000037/72eupwqicige/wish/208970775
