Do athletes really
get better, faster, stronger? In my opinion athletes do not get better,
stronger, or faster because of technology. Back in the day they didn’t have what all
athletes have nowadays. We all have better clothes and shoes so that we are
able to run smoother and faster. Also, we have better areas for the sport, like
better fields, courts, and better tracks. All of these things contribute to
athletes performing at a higher level than before. So I don’t think athletes
are really getting better, stronger, or faster.
Back
in the day athletes would perform in clothes and shoes that weren’t well fitted
for the sport. For example sometimes they wore baggy shorts to swim or run, or
maybe even wore chuck taylors on a basketball court, or flat cleats on a soccer
field. All of these little things slowed down athletes and didn’t allow them to
perform how they would in todays sports if they had all the newer, better
things. This is one of the reasons why I think athletes now aren’t really
getting better than the ones before us. Second
of all, we now have better areas for athletes to perform at a higher level than
before. For example, we have better tracks that allow runners to get a good
grip and have better agility while running. Also we have better fields that
allow them to run up and down without getting as tired because of the nice,
flat, smooth surface that is provided. This is a big help to all the athletes
of this generation because it benefits them in so many ways and they don’t
notice it. So really when you think about it, you never beat someones record,
you just have technology by your side. athletes do not get better, faster, or stronger. It’s all thanks to
technology helping us out and letting us perform better. I would’ve never
thought that technology was what caused athletes to better themselves. I always
thought if you trained certain ways you’d become a better athlete but no matter
what you say or do, it’s still all technology. This is why I think athletes do
not get better, faster, stronger and they should all know that
