In my field study of the subculture athletes, I know that some factors may affect my view of things about the culture. These factors include my gender, my class schedule, and also personal experiences of being an athlete myself. The fact that I am a female could change the experience and influence of a male athlete. Another factor would be my class schedule. With my schedule I will need to dedicate myself to some athletic observation and maybe a little less time on class study so that my field of study comes out accurate. The last factor is that of me being an athlete myself and having my own personal experiences with being one and letting it influence my writing.
