Outliers Blog 2

   In last week's blog, I discussed the first chapter of Outliers. I have now completed 2 more chapters since then. These 2 chapters talked about success in sports and how most of the professional athletes had birthdays in the first 3 months of the year ( January, February, and March). Somehow, there birthdays played a major role in their success. Their birthdays put them a year ahead of everyone giving them a physical and mental advantage when they were kids. Today I will be asking a variety of questions that have certain levels.
Level 2 questions-
1. What caused Roger Barnsley to research more into pro hockey players' birthdays.
2. Why do most pro hockey players have birthdays in the first 3 months of the year.
3. How are hockey players' birthdays an advantage to them?
4. How does the "Matthew Effect" apply to pro hockey?
5.How did Smith Wasden discover his love for hockey?
Level 3 questions-
1. How is your birthday an advantage to you?
2. Does your birthday affect you in sports?
