Deaf Sports
Who really knows where to begin, about information on
the deaf? ... Deaf people are just like you and me, the
only difference is they have to over come all of our
obstacles with out hearing. There are so many stories that
jumped out at me, so many people that made a difference in
the deaf community. ... I was going to
research how coaches and deaf kids or teens communicate
with each other. I also wanted to see if once a deaf
person made it to a division one school did they receive a
full ride like the hearing student’s. And the last of my
questions is to see if there are deaf athletes playing in
division one schools, do the student’s and coaches treat
them the same.
I like success stories and one that I liked was a deaf
college student that played basketball. ... He ended up pulling through but not before going
deaf. ... It’s very sad but some cases aren’t as fortunate as
Jamel’s so I wanted to see what the favorite sports were
for the deaf and how the coaches handled it.
I was surprised to see that deaf people play the same
sports as we do. ... Coached by hearing
and deaf coaches. ... These
are the six most basic miscommunication factors between the
coaches and deaf players. ... They have
the most competitive sports teams in the nation. The
offensive coordinator for the Michigan football team said,
“many coaches believe that deaf kids can succeed in a
Division I level” (Moffett 3).
