Regulate Use of Performance Enhancing Drugs in Sports

The Use of performance enhancing substances can be dated back to ancient Greece. In 776 BC, athletes would ingest sheep testicles as it was known to be a great source of testosterone. This may seem extreme now, but back then it was a tiny price to pay for the prizes of the time. These athletes didn't compete for medals, or for love of the game. They didn't put grueling amounts of time for national pride, or to get the championship wreath atop their head. Much like athletes today, they competed for two things, money and prestige. Even athletes today turn to performance enhancing drugs for quick results in physical strength, weight loss, and increase in muscle size. When someone takes performance enhancing substances they are only worried about the affect it will have on their body, and not even the fact that they are illegal stops them from wanting that extra boost to give them the upper edge on the field. Although the athlete may gain strength and increase testosterone, in return may have many health problems and could face penalties of the law. This still doesn't stop athletes from taking the drugs. Performance enhancing substances are dangerous to a person's health and are illegal; therefore, stronger regulations and punishments are needed in order to improve the safety and integrity of athletes on and off the field. Finding the words to say when delivering a message is only part of the process. Body language is key in that it captures the audience's attention so that they can take in and analyze the point you are trying to get across to them. There are several separate aspects of body language to help support rhetoric in a speech.

Eye Contact

Maintain eye contact with an individual or audience. This helps establish credibility when communicating. Establishing good eye contact, which displays concern or interest in your subject, allows the audience to have a greater degree of respect for the speaker and subject matter. Bad eye contact, which includes staring or failing to make eye contact, shows a lack of interest in the subject.
