High school athletes

The mindset that society thrusts upon most high school athletes can take away from academics and other opportunities they may have for their future. For many high school football athletes, they are primarily focused on one thing throughout their high school years: sports. Evidence 1: In towns such as Odessa in Friday Night Lights, players are swallowed up by the glamour of football and neglect most things not related to football, rather than balance sports with academics. “It was a phenomenon that

best in the world is a dream come true. The National Federation of State High School Association (NFHS), as reported a twenty-six year increase in the participation of high school athletics (NFHA, 2015). As the general popularity of athletics increases, so does the level of participation in high school athletics. The odds of making the professional ranks, however, are slim to none, as only 6% of high school student-athletes go on to play at the collegiate level (NCAA, 2015). Therefore, states,

Many high school athletes oppose to drug testing, because they feel that it is not right. High school athletes shouldn’t be drug tested because it is very costly, a violation of rights, and student athletes won’t be able to play high school sports. In fact to drug test one 400 athletes at an average 24 dollars per student athlete (Ingraham). One of the reasons why high school athlete should not be drug tested is the cost. It cost nearly 20,000 dollars a year to drug test high school athletes

High school sports make student athletes strive for better success in their education. Sure some Schools have a minimum G.P.A requirement of 2.0, and to get that all your classes have to be “C” or better. Well that’s better than letting them have a 1.0 and letting them play. It makes them have something worth studying for, For example my friend Bryan Garcia does not like school or work but he is always looking for ways to make his grades better so that he may play with the John F. Kennedy soccer

Should Athletes Make Millions? Most young athletes think that you are guaranteed a scholarship in high school for playing sports. This is not exactly true so don´t bet you´re money on it. Only about 2 percents of high school athletes win sports scholarships every year. I do not think that once you become a professional athlete you should be making millions annually. First and foremost, most professional athletes make millions of dollars a year for sports and I disagree with it. Sports such as football

at least one sport when they were in grade school (Datz). However, despite the fact that millions of people play sports, it has been predicted that by 2020, 27% of American high schools will no longer have athletics. Budget cuts are making it harder and harder to afford school sports, leaving the schools no choice but to take them away. The biggest issue is, though, that without sports, students are losing the many benefits that come with being an athlete. From the fact that students who play sports

Such as, Michael Jordan, Lebron James and Kobe Bryant which all of them had or are having a successful careers. 80% of high schoolers drafted early become millionaires by the age of 21(Shields). But there is also a slim chance that they might get drafted out of high school. High School Athletes have a 1.8% chance of getting

Question 1: Upon my enrollment in high school, I joined multiple student organizations. I have been a member of my High School’s marching band, the Sound of Pride (SOP), since the eighth grade and have continued to participate every season. I marched both trombone and euphonium before becoming the Assistant Drum Major as a sophomore in the 2016 season. This past season, I was named the band’s Drum Major, becoming the school’s first junior to ever hold the title. After the conclusion of the marching

esteem that I chose to finally do something about it. Setting out on a mission to better myself I scheduled a four month plan fully dedicated to making not only making my skills better, but also my body. Although below average muscle mass of a high school point guard, I played my heart out every second that I spent out on the court. The only problem I faced was being practically fragile when compared to the

chances of another concussion happening. At the end of the day athletes who receive a concussion need to take time to heal completely before going back out on the field or else it could cause permanent damage that would change their life forever. A concussion is not something to take lightly it has been proven that having one concussion during a season increases the chances of having a second one three fold. Being a high school athlete alone will increase the chances of a concussion due to a immature
