The Importance Of Sports In School

In conclusion, the benefits of sports cannot be denied. There is no doubt that interscholastic athletics in high schools are generally good for student’s mind and health. It is the mental and conceptual area that many use to support the importance of participation in competitive sports, something many can wholeheartedly agree with. It is also the same area that some point to when behavior exhibited by some athletes does not seem to support what is believed they should be learning. As with anything, however, one can only get out of something what one puts in. Athletics also provides social benefits and center on concepts such as cooperation, teamwork, and friendships. All of which can also benefit them in school and the workplace. Physical benefits

42 percent polled say it is appropriate for children to begin playing tackle football younger than age 14. Parents are starting to hold their kids out of football and other sports which is keeping them from learning the game and learning social skills early in life. Youth sports have been a part of many kids’ lives for as long as the sports have existed. Youth sports keep kids active and helps them get out of the house. Youth sports help kids develop social skills at a young age and they gain a better understanding of the game. As a result, youth sports are important parts in kids’ lives because they help kids develop social skills and they help them get a better understanding of the game, even though there are some safety issues.

Sports are a form of entertainment, whether it is playing them or watching them. Yet part of the entertainment is also the audience. The fans can have a large impact on the game itself as well as your experience.

“See you a practice!” is a phrase that most people will say to their friends throughout childhood. Thirty-six million children in the United States play a sport. That is over half the children in the United States. However, even with that statistic, some children are still inside all day watching television or playing video games. Many parents do not enroll their children in a sport because they believe it will result in injury, or the child is going to feel left out. Some even believe that their child will be looked down upon if they are not as good as everyone else. They believe that if the child has more time on schoolwork it will raise their grades. But most children love to play outside and learn new sports. It is a part of a child’s nature to run around and have fun. Only some parents realize that children who play a sport can have more discipline than those who don’t. Sports can also give children experience working with others as a team as well as confidence in themselves. Children and teens who play sports are more likely to have higher confidence, be more disciplined, and work better with others.

One of the people in the educational system I find useful are coaches. Coaches always talk about how, “Sports do not make character, they reveal it”. By knowing this I know that the way I overcome difficulties on the field, shows how I will deal with the ups and downs in life. Sports also improve team building skills, communication skills, dedication, hard work, consistency, etc. I find if I improve on those I will be a better person on and off the

Each and every year, millions of students will participate in high school sports. In the same year, there will be millions of people questioning whether or not sports will benefit the students education. “The number of participants in high school sports increased for the 25th consecutive year in 2013-2014 with a record total of almost 7.8 million, according to the annual High School Athletics Participation Survey conducted by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS)”. High school sports are a huge part of a student’s education, but many believe that they will take away from the student’s academic education. We all have to take in and understand the full affect of

I have gained many social skills as being a captain, and getting involved in many sports. My involvement in sports has helped me become a more open and outgoing person. I am not shy to speak in front of crowds anymore and I believe this will put me at a higher advantage than other young students trying to succeed in the same career. As a captain of the team I learned to manage how to make the team work together and making everything run proficient

As the students on the football field are working on passes and touchdowns, they are wearing tattered old jerseys. With their worndown helmets, the coach is complaining about the bad conditions the players are going through. Yet, the school would not recognize the remarks and decides to keep on going. The article, “Yes! It’s Time to Scale Back,” by Amanda Ripley, shares the idea that schools should not have sports teams. On the contrary, “No! Sports Are More Important Than Ever,” by Tim O'Shei explains that school sports should continue and even recommended to attend to. Even though school sports can be beneficial to students; genuinely, schools sports needs to take a step back for the better.

High schools in the US have had successful and popular sports programs that date back past the 19 century and have been a hit to this day. But in the US, high school sports are becoming too much of a necessity, students are more worried about how they will play their sport over how their grades are or if they are caught up in school. But has anyone ever considered, what might occur if these US high schools were to discontinue their sports teams? Would the schools benefit or become hinder? If high school sports were canceled in the US the schools would have much more money to spend on all of its students. Student-athletes would be much more focused in school and would achieve better grades and test scores. Also, teachers

And for those who were a bit down on themselves because their grades are not as a high as a friend or a sibling, their self-esteem can be boosted by a good perfornance on the field. Even kids crippled by severe shyness can emerge from their shell by spending hours in the dugout or on the sidelines with their peers. But above all, participating in sports can lead to hours and hours of

High School sports have an enormous impact on athletes lives. Many benefits are received both on and off the field. Such activities increase health, academic and social performances, along with teaching life lessons and skills, human interaction skills and much more. There is also a direct relationship between sports and academic participation and success. Through high school sports, the athlete also develops unbreakable bonds with teammates the would be impossible to acquire without all of the sacrifices teammates endure together.

I believe sports should stay in school because it pushes athletes to keep their academic grades up because if you are failing you don’t get to play. Pulse why take away sports from school if sports are all they got and you just took it away yes he would still his school work but just imagine if you were on a sports team and it was ur favorite sport that’s why you are taking another hour to study look over review notes because you want to pass that test or assignment.

“The idea that school sports should be about something more than just winning” Summary and Respond

Teamwork is a crucial aspect because a team wins together and loses together (Grown and Flown, 2016). “A number of studies provide support for the premise that physical activity, and sports in particular, can positively affect aspects of personal development among young people, such as self-esteem, goal-setting, and leadership” (Aspen Play Project, 2015). Playing sports allow students to make new friends; they realize other people also have the same interests as them. Through teamwork, athletes experience leadership, another aspect of teamwork. Captains must socialize with everyone consistently and usually need to be well-liked. Leadership can also affect how a team plays. It is hard to have a great team without superb leadership and teamwork, making it necessary to have both. Socialization also includes what people do in their free time. “Compared to non-athlete peers, females are more likely to disapprove of others using them (Geier, 2012). According to Grown and Flown (2016), Teens who have practices, games, team dinners and fitness sessions have less time for mischief, and in a study, students who participated in sports were found to be happier (Grown and Flown, 2016). Over the years I have definitely related to this. My parents say I am a much happier and more motivated person during baseball season, and I

Although some may believe that high school student athletes who do poorly in their academic courses should still be able to participate in athletic programs, I do not agree. It allows students who are capable of performing well in the classroom environment to feel as if it is not necessary to do so, for most athletes, high school sports will be as far as they will go, and furthermore the idea that sports are an extra-curricular rather than a privilege has been lost.
