I am commenting on Jenns Blog about athletic performance and supplementary drinks. I agree with her that using a protein drink is better for an athlete than messing around with steroids or other forms of illegal performance enhancing drugs. She brings a good point when she says that it is not only better for their health but their public image as well. As a PR practitioner in training I realize that the scandal that would come of a professional athlete being caught on steroids could seriously damage their career and public Image.

writes about athletes taking a survey in which they are asked questions such as who would you want to be the next head of the players association. It is entertaining to know that most players did not ever know such a position existed. It is even more entertaining that they did not know the associations to which they belong to exists. I supposed it shows the disconnect some athletes have between the business side of sports and the actual athletics. I agree with Jessicas commentary that perhaps the NHL should be more involved with the players in order for them to be aware of such things. Perhaps an interesting question to ask is which research methods they could use in order to find the disconnect between the players and their association.
