High School Sports

When we started sports most of us was coming off of the everyone plays rule coming from middle school. Once we got to high school everything started to change, the environment became more serious, the coaches became more meaner, and the game became more competitive. Everything was held to a certain standard putting in more time and effort for your teammates, coaches, as well as the school. On top of playing and having practice almost everyday of the week student-athletes have to juggle school work and having a social life with their friends.
Most high school teams goals are to be the best in the state and I would say winning that championship is what every team is starving for. That main goal isn't being made only by one team of each class that they have. so other teams or just getting back to work for next season.
So interscholastic sports in America basically keeps students into the sport by showing them how academics and their sport shape them as a player and as a person and how they should should what they learn in everyday life.
When its good that they want to do these things every person not the same so if a player is the star of their team and maybe they don't like school then their focus won't be on both the sport and school. they would be just focusing on their next game what can they do to help their team when or improve their stats.
If we can get our student-athletes to be as excited about school just as they are about their sport then we will soon be able to solve that problem.
