“Sports keep kids off the street.”
It does not in fact keep kids off the streets; it also instills lessons that are essential in life of a student athlete. They have given us an escape from the hectic life we live and a place of childhood fun. Sports play a pivotal role in the makeup of a young athlete, especially in the middle school to high school years where student athletes are much more mature and mentally developed.
Where else can a young, impressionable youth learn values like self confidence, sacrifice, and accountability? Television, which may be the most influential tool in the lives of young adults, does not show enough of these qualities, nor is it on the Internet, or radio. Rather it is up to the parents, teachers, sports teams, clubs, and after school programs to help mold, develop, and instill these qualities into the lives of student athletes. Without them, there will be no great athletes made.
In order to produce great and professional athletics, one important thing is finding a good core of coaches. Persons to help, lead these student athletes to success.
Another important thing is the support that comes from the community, and administration. This is very important because they need to know they are appreciated. In order to accomplish this it’s going to take investment and the most valuable investments are money and time. The more invested, the better the results.
When these things are in place, I believe student athletes will benefit and the results will be evident not only on the field, but long after they step off of it.
Sports influence people’s lives more than you’d think. Great athletics play a huge part in molding the individuals.
