These young athletes acquire these skills and friends through the very specific club team they decided to join, with year-round practices. Because of the parents’ persistence with the child being a part of that sport the child is subject to year-round practices (include extra paid training), sports camps, and summer leagues; giving up vacations, weekends, evening, and holidays. But this intense way of training, with no breaks or rest periods in between, can prove to be detrimental physically, mentally, and emotionally. As a result of the long term training, there are consequences of kids specializing in one sport
The Boys and Girls Club of America The Boys and Girls Club has been around for more than one hundred and fifty years to help kids reach their full potential. The Boys and Girls Clubs of America had its beginnings in 1860 with three women in Hartford, Conneticut : Mary Goodwin, Alice Goodwin and Elizabeth Hammersley. These three women have started such a great thing in America and the organization has blown up over the last fifteen decades. The boys and girls club main purpose is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The four thousand clubs that are set up around America, which serve over four million kids are there to help them reach this mission.

I will give an overview of methods that have been used throughout the past few decades, and I will report on how improvisation is currently being taught in three local Philadelphia suburban schools. Before I discuss teaching techniques of improvisation in middle school band, I believe it is important to address a few concerns I have with regard to the field of music education. These concerns are due to the fact that many teachers enter their careers in music education unfamiliar with how to teach improvisation and jazz (West 6). For example, long time music educator Julie Scott writes, “Part of the hesitation to teach (improvisation) is because many music educators were never taught how to improvise in their own formal music training (Scott 6).” According to Chad West, some of this is due to the dense music education curriculums that students face in college.
The summer is replaces with shorter and frequent break. Year round school has been a controversy for many decades. Many parents do not agree to year round school because they find it difficult finding child care. One side argues that year round school is absurd. The other side claims that year round school is essential for some, since student often forget a lot during the summer break.
College sports gives students an advantages in education due to GPA restrictions, study table times, and mandatory grade checks to continue with their sport and continue receiving scholarships. 2. In high school I participated in sports all for years. It took more time and effort than you’d think, and college your seasons are longer and more intense, so it makes it even harder to deal with everything else. But being part of a team makes you feel part of something more and gets you closer to people you wouldn’t normally be around.
As a volleyball player, I was constantly working on getting stronger. Sometimes it would take days or even weeks to strengthen the skills I felt needed to be worked on in order make myself and my team better. Even though I may not have been able to ace a ball or spike it in the beginning or had a hard time assisting my teammates, I knew that if I didn’t give up, I would eventually achieve my goal. As I continued to play during my high school years, I ended up having to quit playing my senior year since I had become very sick and was not physically able to play. There were many games and practices that I tried to play, and I was constantly going against my body and making myself worse rather than better.
Rayshelle Wright English 102 Cheerleading IS a Sport Despite what the many critics believe, mainly football players and other athletes, cheerleading is a sport that requires hard work and dedication. Cheerleaders, just like participants in every other sport, attend camps, practice multiple times, risk injury, and face competition. It is time for cheerleaders to get the respect and recognition they deserve, instead of the stereotyping and ridicule they receive. During those last weeks of summer when all the sports teams are off at camp, one might assume that cheerleaders are just working on their tan. However, this could not be further from the truth.
Recently, however, Laura has not been feeling too well. She has noticed that it is much harder to gather the energy for class every day. She has a hard time "getting up" to start new things. At first, she noticed it only once a month, while she was menstruating, but now she feels tired and weak more often. She gets particularly tired after running sprints.
My experiences as a junior changed my entire outlook on my role as a student athlete and caused me to reevaluate my perspective on the things that were important to me. When school started on August 26, and all my teachers began to give daily quizzes based on the summer readings, I knew I was in trouble. I started to fall behind due to the amount of time required to complete each assignment, and I had to complete it for all four of my classes. I knew I wasn’t off to a good start of the school year. I was told that when you become a junior that’s when everything starts to get harder and you have to buckle down meaning no time for friends and really no weekend because it was going to require a lot of work, but I was sure that if I got through middle school, 9th and 10th grade that it would be no different than any other grade level class that I had taken already and passed.
