Soccer Star Brandi Chastain
summary
This article talks about the woman whom wanted to donate her brain. In my opinion i think that this is crazy because why would she donate her brain and how?. There is too many questions for this article.Well one reason why athletes want to donate their brain to science is because their brain acts different and its more mature.
Athlete
The qualities that set a great athlete apart from the rest of us lie not just in the muscles and the lungs but also between the ears. That’s because athletes need to make complicated decisions in a flash. Shortstop Derek Jeter managed to grab an errant throw coming in from right field and then gently tossed the ball to catcher Jorge Posada, who tagged the base runner at home plate.
Brain
As Jeter’s example shows, an athlete’s actions are much more than a set of automatic responses; they are part of a dynamic strategy to deal with an ever-changing mix of intricate challenges.Since the shooter doesn’t have perfect control over his body, a slight wobble in one part of the arm may require many quick adjustments in other parts. Each time he raises his gun, he has to make a new calculation of what movements are required for an accurate shot, combining previous experience with whatever variations he is experiencing at the moment.
Athlete
One of the most spectacular examples of the athletic brain operating at top speed came in 2001, when the Yankees were in an American League playoff game with the Oakland Athletics.
In conclusion
Athletes have a different way to use their brain and they think faster. Because they have to take quick decisions and that allows their brain to get used to think fast and to make awesome ideas.So this is why athletes want to donate their brains because science can study even more and that way come up with more things.
