Preconceptions Due to my participation on the girl’s tennis team, I had heard a lot about the boys’ team throughout my years on varsity. However, I had not gone to a match to see or experience the boys’ team in action or to feel the different atmosphere. As a result, I had a lot of preconceived notions about the boys’ tennis team and how they operate. The team has so much hype for being Shakopee’s best chance to get a tennis team to state and I think they can do it. The first assumption I made about

I have always been an active person, never being able to just sit inside and watch television for hours. Every since I was a child, my father always had me involved in a sport such as soccer, lacrosse, or field hockey. I never pursued soccer and lacrosse in high school, but I thoroughly enjoyed field hockey. I played from eighth grade to sophomore year. When junior year of high school came, I realized how out of shape I was and underqualified for the team. I loved playing, but I knew I wasn’t going

debate about youth sports leagues. Many say youth sports teach valuable lessons of leadership and teamwork. However some of those people say the lessons learned by playing youth sports are being replaced by a win at all costs attitude. However, it is important to realize the multiple huge benefits of youth sports way outweigh the downsides. Youth sports not only promote a healthy lifestyle, but teach valuable lessons and incredibly important values. To start off, youth sports support are vital to

Some people think that competitive sports are good for children and teens everywhere, but I highly disagree. I think kids shouldn’t be allowed to play competitive sports. Kids self esteem lowers every time someone tells them they are bad at something, and a lot of kids trash talk, or even brag. Competitive sports are very precarious to kids that are still growing. Have you ever stopped to think about how much money parents spend on competitive sports per year? What if that parent has more than one

One reason why the sports budget should not be increased is because of health issues. One of the largest concerns for parents of teen athletes is injuries. One of the leading sports injuries are concussions. Concussions are caused by one large hit to the head which causes symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and light sensitivity. If not treated, it can lead to brain damage. While studies do show that concussions have risen from “7,000 to 22,000” (Notebook) reported cases a year. With the budget increase

I do not like this idea about cutting sports from the school program. Our school has a big deal about sports. We live it to be honest, most of the kids are in football, baseball, and basketball. One big reason is cheerleaders will be cut out also, because they have nothing to cheer for. Another reason is our school will not be able to get sport scholarships for playing these sports because, we don’t have them at all to get the scholarships. The last reason is the school will be very less outgoing

increases their stress levels by 22%. Even though competitive sports build confidence and physical strength, teens that play competitive sports at the high school level are drained because too much practice weakens physical and mental health and can cause more injuries at a young age. Because of this, CIF rules now state that high school teams cannot practice for more than 18 hours a week, games counting as 3 hours. Competitive sports at the high school level drain athletes because of the long hours

generated from division 1 sports there is room to pay the athletes something to help them get through college. College football and college basketball generate more money than the NBA in any given year. That amounts to nearly 6 Billion

Children who participate in sports have stronger peer relationships, but is this true? It is known that children who participate in sports are more likely to go out of their way and be more productive. There are no limit to the reason why sports help with children’s peer relationships. Communication, is one of the most important things that young children develop through group sports such as baseball. Sports have a positive affect on a child’s peer relationship by improving communication skills

Sport Unlimited A recent study shows that more than 7.6 million students in 2010-2011 played high school sports during the school year. US News estimates about 55.5% of high school students participate in a sport. With this in mind, one would think that there are no problems involving high school sports. When in fact, the are many problems with high school sports that aren’t apparent to everyone. Some of these problems include; politics, money, and consideration. Politics are always going to be a
