MVP Journal

Dr. Joseph Spears, Jr.

Welcome to My Journal

I founded MVP with the belief that Sport is major and active in the lives of so many around the world no matter what sport one prefers. Sport is a social institution and represents culture, that particular culture depends upon who, where, when and what; “who” represents parties participating, and “where” represents location, and “when” means the timing, and “what” lends to cause or purpose of the event. Nelson Mandela said, “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It can awaken hope where there was once despair.”

Please visit my blog weekly.  I will be discussing various topics and research relating to Sport economically and socially as well as its impact on the entire being of man (body, soul and spirit).
