10 page essay

The first section of the research project that you will hand in for a grade will be at least five pages, and use at least five sources. Most if not all of your sources should be scholarly articles (also known as peer-reviewed sources or journal articles). Your paper should use MLA style formatting and documentation (both in-text citation and Work Cited page). Your sources should be appropriately integrated into your discussion using signal phrases and source synthesis. Source usage should comprise an appropriate mix of summary and direct quotation. The sources and draft should be clearly organized around your central research question. You should clearly show what each source you choose can contribute to answering the research question. You should also weigh in on the research question yourself-what do you think is the best answer to your research question, and how does your opinion line up with that of your sources?

you will have several weeks to expand your first draft in length, scope, depth, and source material. The final draft should be at least ten pages and make use of at least ten sources. Again, most if not all of your sources should be scholarly articles (also known as peer-reviewed sources or journal articles). Your paper should use MLA style formatting and documentation. Your sources should be appropriately integrated into your discussion using signal phrases and source synthesis. Source usage should comprise an appropriate mix of summary and direct quotation.

put this in my intro somewhere: I originally set out to write a paper about how peds affect the mental health of professional athletes. But as I researched I realized the question should be put differently. (social pressures, and teams use together, and the social environment is so high stress that athletes feel they dont have a choice but to take these drugs that so profoundly affect their physical health). So the question became: How does the mental health of professional athletes who are under so much mental pressure actually drive them to turn to PEDs as a mental health solution?

Ideas for intro

-PED usage is not merely a medical issue that attends to the bodies of the users and the havoc wreaked by the drugs. Additionally, it is not an issue that can be summed up by league rules, compliance, and the number of wins. Rather, it needs to be understood in a social, cultural, and (political). (the social environment of the team, league, players and coaches setting up so much pressure and any other social problems you read about) and a sports culture that still sees the player as a body who should be willing to go to any extreme for a win for our entertainment and fails to see his full human complexity

-main idea A-how athletes develop poor mental health in their athletic environments

-main idea B-the cause and effect relationship between poor mental health and use of PEDs
