How Athletes impact academics

High School athletes impact academics in a number of ways. Athletes face problems because many coaches want the students to play only one sport, even if other students have an interest in other sports. In addition, coaches at the high school level are discriminating against athletes that do not demonstrate an athletic level that is suitable for them. Coaches, athlete directors, and parents have moral obligation when it comes to protecting the high school athletes and promoting better academics and education for the students. In many cases, high school athletes are being pressured to meet the academic requirements by cheating to get the requirements they need. In most schools, there are rules regarding students grades to allow the students to play the sport. Students that want to play a sport will have to get certain grade to be able to play. Most schools have that rule for the students that want to play a sport. Coaches push students to get good grades in ways that are not right just so the coaches can help the students get a scholarship. A high school sport may require year-round training which can get the students feeling overwhelmed and unable to complete the duties that they have to do including school work. This often takes the fun out of the sport and replacing it with unnecessary pressures. 

High School athletes have effects on academics. High school athletes always has one common issue such as steroids when the athletes are highly pressured. High school athletes are pushed hard to do better and athletes feel like using steroids is the only way to get better. These effects are a slippery slope for many athletes in high school. There has been changes too that has taken place for high school athletes. One change is to allow schools to drug test students. This change is designed to punish the athletes who are using the drugs. Students that test positive are not allowed to play the sport and the student is kicked off the team or in some cases only has the student be removed from the team for a certain amount of time.
