School should be your top priority. You go to school to learn and get grades. Athletes are considered role models for their school. Young kids and other athlete might even look up to them. Many people in the school look up to them, therefore they should get good grades in school. Athletes represent their school. But this is what a student athlete is. If you are able to manage both, it proves why you should go to a certain college. Not everyone can get accepted into a great college, this is why when they picked what athlete they want, you always want to have a better chance. It shows how responsible you are. Grades shows colleges how much responsibilities you can handle. So students need to do their job at school and put in the work they do just like on the field like the sport. I understand that it's a pain to do homework after practice, but if you stay focused and organized anyone can handle it. Participating in sports can sometimes help with discipline and self-control and maybe help keep them out of trouble. Grades show your characters and help you look well rounded if you have them good. Most athletes will not play after high school, so grades are the most important things in your school experiences. You will need a job after high school, so once your playing ceer is over, no matter how well you did in your sport, the grade in the classroom will help you the best of your …show more content…
I currently cheer for my school and I have to handle my own grades. My coach always stresses about how our athletes represent the school. People look up to many athletes. For example little girls or others from different teams cheer for us and ask us for hugs and pictures after we perform. Your grades are super important to my coach and not just her but other coaches as well. Your are responsible for them! Before each tryout for a sport at my school, you have to get your grades signed by every teacher. After filling out that sheet, you then have to get it sign by your parents so they'll end up seeing your grades. Then you turn it into your coach and you're able to try out. My teacher looks at our grades to see what kind of effort we have in us. Grades do matter for sports. Coaches at my school try and keep up with your grades and make sure you turn in each assignments. I watched many people become ineligible to play their sport and had to sit out because they weren't passing 5 classes. This can be a bad thing because a teammate can let others down by not participated before a big game or like a competions. Since cheer is a team sport, when we are down a person the whole team is effective. A stunt group, which is a group of athletes that life someone up in cheer, cannot lift the girl up in the air if they do not have the whole group. So end of story, turn your work
“Maintaining good academic standing is part of the student athlete culture,” according to women’s head soccer coach Jack Hyde, “It’s part of their responsibility...they embrace it,” he said (Stricklen). “I love football and I wouldn’t want to mess it up by not getting good grades in all my classes,” said Narayan, a student athlete (Given and Tribou). However, more and more student athletes are not finding studying and keeping their grades up a priority. Most student athletes dream of one day becoming a professional athlete, but without good grades, they won’t be able to go to a good college to play for. Being an athlete with good grades also benefits them when trying to get scholarships. Becoming a professional
What could you do to prepare your kids for success in the future? Sports are one of the best ways to prepare kids for success in the future for many reasons. According to University of Missouri Health Care, “Sports require memorization, repetition, and learning - skill sets that are directly relevant to class work.”(muhealth). Not only do sports help them become better students, but they also prepare them both mentally and physically and teach them multiple life lessons that will better them in the long run. The great thing about sports is that anyone can participate as long as they have the passion for it.
Finally I’m in middle school and I am ready to play school sports. But I can’t. I have to wait until next year. Sixth graders should be able to play middle school sports. Players can ride the bus to games, sixth graders will get better because they are practicing with older kids, and players will get better grades because they can’t be failing a class. Sixth graders should be included in middle school sports.
As Americans, we must take action against(or for) the issue of maintaining good grades while wanting to pursue an athletic career in high school. The reason being is because of untapped potential, bad time management skills, and peer pressure. There are many people who are affected by this issue such as students athletes, their parents/ guardian and the school itself. Lets not forget the hard working coaches that are counting on your presence you don’t wont to let them down.
High school football is very risky! There are so many ups and downs about this sport in particular. Many people would say it is dangerous for these young boys to play football though others will have a different outlook on it. Football is truly not that dangerous and it can be very helpful for some boys in various ways including, scholarships, personality and a learning experience.
When I go to a gymnastics meet and do really good, so I get that 1st place medal or trophy. It feels amazing, I mean the sport gymnastics is competitive and I sure do love competitive sports. The competitiveness gets you that rush of excitement. You feel nervous, but excited to get in there and try your hardest. Kids make better choices and have committed when they have the drawbacks of participating in competitive youth sports.
“Maybe I´m stupid or whatever, but to me if I got a concussion, if I could see straight and carry a football, then I´m not telling anybody”, Ricky Williams, NFL Football player. The argument about whether kids should play football or not is an important topic to argue. People need to understand that the concussions and other injuries are more serious with young kids. The problem is that many people think that it could be stopped by not allowing kids to play at all. Although parents can reduce risk of injury by not allowing their kids to play football, parents should let their children play football because it lets kids follow their dreams, it helps kids become more mature and independant, and if kids use proper technique they can reduce injuries.
Despite not being a football student athlete, but as a student athlete in general we live up to high standards. Meeting the University academic expectations on a daily basis is not the easiest thing to do. In terms of waking up in the morning to lift, go to class, and then go to practice in the afternoon you are done for the day mentally wise. But your day does not stop, you have that needs to be done for your classes, and that’s where the University holds you to a standard over students who are not student athletes. I am the first to admit that my freshman year as a student athlete was not the easiest. I thought many of times that I was going to fail, but the resources that were provided I used that to the fullest to be successful. Being a student athlete comes with time management, sacrifice, and it test your character when you are bombarded with
Some schools force students to participate in organized school sports. However, I believe that schools should not make this a requirement. Some students may have medical conditions, family situations that don't allow them to participate in organized school sports, or they simply may not have the time.
A benefit to playing a sport, like softball, is that one can learn to balance their grades and a sport. While playing a sport, it will get difficult to set aside time to do homework and work on projects. However, when one is involved in a school sport they have to maintain good grades to play on the team. This allows players to work their hardest in school and do their best in everything they do. In addition, “Sports require many aspects such as memorization, learning and repetition. These characteristics are used both on the field, and in the classroom. When playing a sport, a team works towards a goal; this is the same attribute as striving to get a good grade on a test” (“Benefits of Sports”). In summary, a huge benefit of playing a high school, or college level sport is that students learn how to manage their time with having good grades and also being successful on the
n Addition to this with sports in high school student athletes need to keep up their grades in order to play the sport. Some people may say that when you participate in a sport, it takes away from your studying time and then makes you not as academically inclined as others. I believe that that statement is further from the truth in a recent article written by Daniel H. Bowen and Colin Hitt “High-School Sports Aren 't Killing Academics” from The Atlantic Bowen and Hitt state that “We would expect to see a negative relationship between the commitment to athletics and academic achievement. However, the University of Arkansas’s Daniel H. Bowen and Jay P. Greene actually find the opposite. They examine this relationship by analyzing schools’ sports winning percentages as well as
It 's been outrageous , how many kids get injured per year playing youth sports for school and organizations. The youth who play sports receive plenty medical attention throughout the year due to injuries cause from actions made occuring in games. Health plays a big part in sports because if your are are not healthy many things can go wrong with the body including dehydration, heart problems , and muscle spasm. Playing a sport can be very hard to juggle with school and also getting talked down by coaches and parents. Dehydration is a high possibility because of outside sports that happen in the spring/summer and playing and practicing in humid conditions that you are not well prepared for can be bad and there will be consequences. Parents and
So, considering that high school sports do give kids an opportunity to expand socially, keep them in shape, and healthy, an opportunity to make many friends, and a shot at getting a scholarship, and making it to the professional level in their sport. But long term, the negative effects are more in the sense it could damage a student permanently, from an academic level to a physiological level. Also, most of the positive things people would argue aren’t guaranteed to happen or isolate them from the negative effects. But when it comes to the negative side, a student would need to go through some of the stages, maybe not all, but for sure some. To sum it all up, high school sports are more negative on a student than positive, even though people tend to see only the positive things that can come from them.
A very controversial issue in college athletics today is whether student athlete's academic goals or athletic events should be placed in higher importance. In our society today, many people people tend to think of highly renowned college athletes as athletes that dedicate all their time to the sport that they play. What many people tend to forget is that these college athletes have as large a responsibility in the classroom as they do playing football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, track and field, or whatever sport it is that they play. These student athletes are required to practice for many hours each week in addition to having to complete hours of homework and research papers that they may have. Some people may think that being a collegiate athlete would be a fun and easy task but however, they are wrong. Regular college students receive enough homework and papers to do. Imagine having to complete all of the homework that all non- student athletes have to complete in addition to the time consuming dedication to a sports team. This is the stressful and challenging life of a collegiate student athlete.
He sprints up and down the court, as sweat pours down his face and on to the hardwood. The player’s legs are in severe pain, and he is out of breath, yet he continues to run, utilizing every last portion of energy that he maintains. He desires to better himself, not necessarily for his own benefit, but for the benefit of his team. He knows that every single member of the team, including himself, must work as hard as they possibly can on the court to reach their potential and achieve success. Organized sports teach athletes some of the most powerful moral values and life lessons that any individual can attain. Despite the opposing opinion that students who take part in organized sports suffer academically due to time deprivation and focus misdirected away from the classroom, involvement in sports teaches young men and women to maintain imperative values, such as hard work, selflessness, and commitment, which ultimately improves student-athletes’ academic performance.
