Many studies have proved that sport have enormous positive effects on players that play academic sport.

According to “The Value of Sports,” athletes are able to set better long time goals and strive for them, vs non-athletes, (2). Athletes who play sports are more focused in school, they are more motivated, and they learn skills that may improve their life in the future. There is a rule called No Pass No Play, which means if you don’t pass a class in school, you can’t play a sport (No Pass, no play law affects many students throughout Texas) (1). This rule is effective in states like Texas. Americans should be for students without passing grades being able to play sports, because students in clubs are not affected, and the youth of America needs the teachings and values that sports are able to bring. Athletes in school tend to do better in school…
Richard L. Worsnop offers multiple different points about high school sports and athletes. Concerns about the oppression of young athletes and debating if high school athletics “builds character”, are some of the main issues pointed out. Some coaches believe interscholastic sports competitions teach everything about character and teamwork, while others believe overemphasizing a win can teach the growth of negative character traits. Meanwhile, there are no doubts that certain drugs can enhance an athlete’s performance, but this can lead to injury and other harmful effects. High school athletes are sometimes considered, “dumb jocks”, which leads to the question if student athletes should maintain a certain grade-point average. Some players think…
or many years, athletics have improved junior’s well-beings and their schooling, but some academies have been thinking of getting rid of these programs all together. The two articles mentioned that school should keep or get rid of sports. One is written by Amanda Ripley while the other Tim O’Shei. Both have good arguments yet Tim’s article provides more positive undertones and uses of sports. Therefore physical education should stay in schools because It helps improve children’s grades and health, equal opportunities are given to students that didn’t exercise before, AND athletic careers can open for people who play competitive games early in their lives.…
“People spend long hours practicing, and that commitment extends to the rest of the school, which means that students are practicing for the game instead of doing their school work” (Ripley 10). When one school banned sports for good, they had a 30% increase in the school’s average grade level. Student’s grades are suffering from sports, schools should no longer have after school athletics. It is clear that all after school sports should no longer be so that all students can learn with their full attention on school…
For decades schools have had sports been around but most of those sports are the cause of most failing grades.This is proven when the author states that the science class was deteriorating due to ill funds towards the classroom and more funds the sports instead.Another example of this is that the grades of the students that participate in these schools sports drop and are expensive to the student's family itself.I agree with this because it makes sense to first use the money on the school's classrooms instead of using it on the sports teams.My conclusion is that we should not have too much school sports so that the science lab is rotting in mold.…
As a student in High School, there are many things that influence my learning and my ability to learn. Sports have the highest amount of influence on how I do in school. How much homework I am able to get done and whether or not I finish assignments on time is dependent on sports games and practice times. That would be the downside of sports influential power on school. The positive influence sports have on my high school grades and learning process include keeping my grades up in order to be able to play those sports. Music can influence your mood and how you feel about a situation. For example, in horror movies they will play creepy music that makes you feel the need to be scared and go through suspense. The makers of those horror movies would not choose music that makes you happy. Also, music can have a huge influence on everything in life in…
Nearly 65% of children say they participate in sports to be with their friends (Statistic Brain). Sports were established so that the individual could not only exercise, but also to compete against a rival. Just as there are individual sports, there are team sports in high school. The idea of a team sport is that every single person on the field or court must work in unison to have the greatest opportunity to win. In addition to the increasing popularity of sports, the average child’s age when they join a team is decreasing. For example, the age that a child joins a basketball team has shifted from fourth grade to first grade or even kindergarten in the past decade. School is the primary factor when you review the participation in athletics,…
When in high school, one of the most memorable things to do is go to the games, attend homecoming, or the pep rallies every semester. One thing they all have in common is that they are tied to sports. High school sports are an important part of children's lives whether they are the ones attending the game or the one playing in it. A few years ago, Solano County tried to cut sports programs because there was no room in the budget for it. The community reacted by spending their whole summer raising money in any way they could by selling things to standing outside of the mall collecting donations with the fire department. High school sports programs are important and should not be on the list of school cuts.…
Oppents support their reason by referencing to Source 2 which states,” as more kids play on traveling teams outside of school, and as the globalized economy demands that children learn higher-order skills so they can compete down the line, its worth re-evaluating the American sporting tradtion.” However, students can manage the two and can actually get higher wages in their jobs and income that are due to the part of their participation in a sport. In fact, according to source 3,” Recent years, economists have found that sports participation is associated with higher part wages and income.”…

While it might be hard to argue that sports participation could guarantee higher incomes, promotions, and better jobs, the leadership skills and development of teamwork, hard work, and determination might help prepare students to be leaders at work and in their communities later in life.…
Involving oneself in sports is far more than just an engaging and healthy hobby. As research shows, active participation in sports has a positive influence on a teenager’s social life, self-esteem and even academic performance (Sitkowski, 2008). There is no doubt that sports are beneficial for boys and girls, women and men. However, it is perplexing that some 40 years ago, women and girls were close to being virtually deprived of the opportunity to play sports in universities, colleges, high schools and junior high schools. It was not until 1972, when Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendment Act was passed, that women received equal rights to participate in sports at all educational institutions.…
