The Importance Of High School Sports

college athletes have jerseys, video games and tons of sports apparel with their faces and names on it and don't even have a choice (30 For 30).how are these students greedy? Then you also have the fact that colleges treat them as property. They throw their faces and names across merchandise, but if a student was to sell their jersey it would break NCAA rules (30 For 30). NCAA says their amateurs they don't need to get paid. These athletes are far from amateurs they can compete with world class athletes.

While other students are working part time, college athletes are working hard in court, in the field or in the rink, without earning even a single dollar. So getting paid, even a little extra, would go a long way to helping them pay for all their needs. This would also make a huge difference for students from families with low income.”(NYBorg) The payment of college football athletes is highly debated because it benefits certain people a lot more than others. Even a statement from a former athlete shows how he thinks athletes should be paid just due to the fact of the money being made off of the game itself, “You go to Chapel Hill and try to go to a Carolina-Duke game, good luck trying to find a ticket. It’s nationally televised.

There’s practices, games, off-season practices, charities, and other basketball commitments you have to participate in.. So instead of taking a freshman that has only played for one year or a high school player, take a proven senior that will wanna step into their pro team and have a better career from the years of experience in college. So because of the less quality time with family and friends, having that lack of comfort from being away from home, and having that kid mentality of getting whatever you want and without hardwork and determination. Is without a doubt a part on why high school athletes should not be drafted to the

Students should not have to tryout for school sports. Some tryouts are not far by any means, in which the coaches pick from not the skill but by the way they know the student. Also it brings down students self esteem. Research shows that 70% of kids drop out of sports for many reasons and not making the team is one. When a

Lastly, if you play sports all throughout your time in school without concentrating on your grades and it turns out you aren’t good enough to become a paid professional athlete, you are left with nothing to help you succeed in the real world. Even some of the best athletes ever careers get cut short. One example of this is Bo Jackson. He very well might have been the greatest athlete of all time, but his career was cut shorts because he got injured. So if you ever want to be like Bo Jackson and play with the professionals, just make sure you have a backup plan like an

Two, these student athletes put in lots of work and even sometimes have to miss class to go to the sports event. They have to put in work on and off the field of court. Three, the coaches and everybody else but the players are paid. These kids take time from their school work and personal things to get things done for their sports team and don’t get anything in return. “Nick Saban will make $11 million in the year of 2018 coaching the football team of Alabama University.” (www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/6778847/college-athletes-deserve-paid.)

Harrington wasn’t shocked by more subtle forms of racism away from the basketball court, but it had been a long time since he’d seen the overt version of it” (Lewis 85). Instead of getting angry and upset by malicious and rude comments, Michael ignored them. He knew that by retaliating he could be suspended from sports: he did not want that. Michael’s tolerance of harsh commentary represented his strong-will as a person, and it also showed that he was not going to let some snotty, racist, and rich white kids get in the way of his dreams to be a football player. By the end of the book, Michael had made a 180.

If I win this scholarship, I will know that the hard work of students who thrive for academic success isn’t looked over just because a student next to us thrives for success through their sport. In high school, we see an ample amount of our classmates get signed to different colleges and universities because of their abilities on the court or on the field. But, after being in classes with them for four or more years, we know that their grades aren’t of good quality all of the time. But, us students who work the hardest in the classrooms to pull off 4.0s and 5.0’s can barely get a decent scholarship because we don’t have a 25 or above ACT score. This can at times prevent students from going to their dream school because they don’t have the money to pay out of pocket for school.

The little kid is one of the only elementary kids on the team. All the older kids are a lot better than him. He is scared to do anything because he doesn’t want to make a fool of himself in front of the bigger kids. He spends the rest of the practice only doing minimal activities and not showing off his true potential. The kid’s father picks him up from the practice.

Getting an athletic scholarship takes many steps. However, if nobody knows about you, no matter how good you are,... you won't get recruited. College coaches are always looking for good athletes who can better their teams. If you are a high school player who is wanting a college scholarship, basketball camp is the perfect place for both the coach and the player to get to know each other. It is the job
