It will encourage students to do their best to get higher grades. It opens their eyes to a different perspective on behavior and stronger school peer relationships. It offers students activities that exclude school work, because adolescents generally focus their minds on unacceptable actions. Parents commonly show passion and appreciation when their children play a sport. They get to have a closer relationship and be processed with them more often than normal. Students often do not care about their reputations or recognize adults' opinions of themselves; but in my opinion, playing sports and being more involved in their schools presents better character throughout school and once they graduate. I was once told that “Sports don't build character. They reveal it." Also, self-esteem in high school is hard to achieve, sometimes sports help! Sport makes you interact with other people and pushes you to do better. It presents a sharper perspective on schoolwork, career, future, and life in general. In some cases, playing a sport can benefit you more. Scholarships can represent a great opportunity for valuable players with a good education behind them. Additionally, college recruiting can be another option. It's hard to come up with money for college, and if this seems like a struggle for a student, playing a sport can help tremendously. That
