The practices take up much of their time and do not allow them to have a social life, but in the end they make them better athletes. It is difficult to make this adjustment for, especially for a college freshman who is used to having more free time, as high school athletes do. The final reason why an athlete’s feelings flip-flop is because of the emotional rollercoaster the games take you on. Your excited to play the game, are eager to win, and devastated when you lose. Coaches are really the brains behind the sport, while the athletes are the heart and soul of the game.
In the reviewers opinion, the article is meant to inform people about the tough lifestyles and important decisions that young athletes, especially in the Compton area, have to make. Whether it be to get by, or to succeed, athletes are pressured everyday to make decisions they aren’t ready or are unwilling to make. The article could be read by pretty much anyone, but the reviewer thinks
It can be very hard to get them involved in the community, but the results can change their lives forever. There are people who disagree with this and say that teens are bad influences to smaller kids and that having them around will cause corruption. This can be true, but is not true of every teen. Dealing with the opposition to my particular topic makes me feel a lot more intrigued about really going out into the world and doing something about it. All teens should have a chance to be involved with others in a positive way, and without community groups going out and searching for them, its not going to happen.
Parents could also not be very supportive of how well we are doing and only want us to be in a sport because of the chance of getting a full scholarship to college. When parents do these things it is putting extra pressure on the athlete. It also makes an athlete afraid to make a mistake for fear of letting down their parents. Sports contribute to a person’s wellbeing. By being physically active through a sport or other activity we are reducing the risk of developing high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, respiratory problems, and some cancers.
The underdog is someone who makes everyone stronger, by proving that hard work does pay off. A common archetype for the underdog trope would be, a disorganized team that is known as a joke with athletes that believe they are better then everyone else and don’t know how to work as a team, until a good coach comes in and teaches them respect and discipline. A couple movies that come to mind are Hoosiers and Coach Carter. In both of these movies the archetype is the same but the trope is being the underdog. I believe the trope in both of
Boxing can keep children away from bad influences and company. If they are busy training, they will have less time to go out with bad individuals from this it can also help them succeed in school as their attention will be fixed on a certain thing. This is not always the case with children as they may drift away from their school life and could lose concentration. This may conclude with poor grades by the end of the year. Parents should keep in mind that new learners are more likely to get injured whilst training because of less knowledge of fighting back.
So many young kids, even adults, around the world, look up to athletes. We don’t expect movie stars to be role models, because their brand stories are so complicated and fragmented by the roles they play, which are more naughty than nice these days. Entertainment celebrities consequently have an easier time recovering from scandal because we assume scandalous behavior is part of their on-screen and off-screen lives. Athletes, though, always “play” themselves, in the same scene, and we only want to watch them if they’re performing well; we assume that athletic excellence requires discipline and control off the field. While they build their name playing the game they love, their offseason is a lot of work too.
The responsibility to benefit children in sports falls on the shoulders of the coach and parents who volunteer their time to work with the young athletes. Pre-teens in sports can result in responsible adults in the future. It mostly depends on the parents of the child. If a parent becomes too strict about the sport and starts to force a child to participate, the relationship between the parent and child can be destroyed. Being athletic as a kid is healthy but over exercising or practicing for extensive periods of time can put stress on their muscles and affect their bodies in the long run.
The children we work with today in our early years settings are unlikely to have the same kind of memories like we have. The increased volume of traffic and media-fuelled fear of abduction have understandably made many parents afraid of allowing their children to play away from close adult supervision. Television, video games and computer games also have a much bigger role in children’s lives than was the case for previous generations. Even though many may disagree, sports does benefit children. Coaches have become the leading moral instructors in America today.
“Generally involvement in any extracurricular activity is a good thing, but sports are no better than band or chorus. The danger is the ‘win at any cost’ attitude becomes so significant that the potential positive benefits are overwhelmed.” Not every person who participates in a sport is a bad person. There are good role-models, the guys that can control there anger and stay out of bad situations. Players have that ‘win at any cost’, but stay out of trouble and are great role models. I don’t think you can change they way these adults act.
