FREE ESSAY ON STUDENTS AND ATHLETICS

STUDENTS AND ATHLETICS

Students should be encouraged to play sports whether it be for school or just in their
spare time, but I recommend it more for a team. This gives them so much and the lessons
learned are unforgettable. It teaches teamwork, hard work, dedication, health concern,
responsibility, good sportsmanship and so much more. They get confidence and are much
better students in general. Players must keep their grades up and are much less likely to
do drugs and have sex as proven by numerous studies. Even in the off season, they realize
how bad health practices can affect their performance. 
It gives them something to do and keeps them out of trouble. I think athletes are more
well rounded people. The only exceptions are the images of other athletes on TV such as
Dennis Rodman, that some let the time spent at practice prevent them from doing their
full potential in school, injuries, and doing their homework. Teach them all the strong
points that sports can benefit them and watch them strive! It can improve their and
others' lives by making them healthier, hard working, and determined. There are so many
benefits if the sport is taken seriously. So let them play sports or began to play one
yourself and become a stronger person. All of this from playing a game of fun and
challenge!!!!
