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. 

Does High School sports impact high school culture?

High school sports has positive and negative impact on young athletes. High school sports are popular and each sport gets a lot of students to play for their high school team. Some positive things that impact high school culture is students can improve their skills and get better with each practice. High school culture can impact high school sports because there academics would increase. Another positive thing for young athletes is that with the sport they are playing they eat healthy and have the ability to perform at their best on the day of the game. The athletes can influence physical health and warding off negative signs of obesity. Both boys and girls can will be able to reach high academic goals. Teenagers that participate in high school sports are happier, have increased self-esteem, and are less anxious, with a decreased risk of suicidal behavior. The coaches improved player satisfaction, motivation, self-esteem, compliance, and attraction rates through positive reinforcement and teaching. The coaches do effective training an enhanced sporting experience was reported by most athletes.

Negative impact on high school culture is athletes that get injured. Athletes in high school can suffer from rapid expansion of the bones while growing and slowly elongating muscles, tension develops across the growth plates, and the joints. During adolescent years, some athletes may experience a decrease in flexibility, coordination, and balance. It does not only increase injuries, but also impacts sports performance, placing more stress, anxiety and social pressure on the athlete. A hasty return to a sport with incomplete rehabilitation can result in chronic pain, dysfunction, increased time away from the sport and repeated injury to the same or different body parts. Children's bones are weaker than their ligaments or tendons, therefore they are at an increased risk for fractures throughout the bone and growth plate. At a basic level for physical activity and fun can be a financial hardship for some families. Basic costs include uniforms, equipment, league fees, travel expenses and footwear.

Story of the week

A football player on the St. Louis Rams quarterback gets a concussion during the game and he keeps playing. Case Keenum gets hit hard during the Rams' game against Baltimore Saturday night with 1:14 left in the game. Keenum hit the back of his head against the ground and bouncing. Keenum stayed down on the ground holding his head and he felt dizzy and was wobbling. Keenum was allowed to play the last two downs before the Rams lost the ball and the Ravens got a field goal and won the game. Keenum was not diagnosed with a concussion until 30 minutes after the game. The St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher had told reporters that he expected to put Keenum through "a good week of practice" for the next game. "The fact of the injury to St. Louis Rams Case Keenum and why he wasn't removed from the game for the necessary evaluation by the team physician or the unaffiliated neuro-trauma consultant as required by our concussion protocols," the NFL said in a statement.

I think that it is a big deal because when a player gets a concussion the coach or the team physician should be taken out of the game. Any player that gets a concussion or gets knock down hard should leave the game and get tested for a concussion. The coach for the St. Louis Rams should have took the quarterback out of the game to get look at by the team physician. The quarterback should not have continued to play and the team physician needed to take him out of the game. The quarterback should have left the field with a teammate to get examined by the physician. It is a big deal because concussions are dangerous and they need a lot of time to heal and the player that got a concussion should not play until the concussion is completely gone.

Coaches and Parents:Specialization (Youth Sports)

Kids and teenagers both females and males parents have their kid play one sport instead of a variety of sports. Parents want their kids to play one sport because the parent will only have to deal with one sport that their kid plays. Parents feels pressure and only allows their kid to play one sport because it will be easier on their kid. The parents are being unfair and should allow their kid to play more than one sport if they want to. Kids and teenagers are probably going to feel upset if their parents only allows them to play one sport. The kids and teenagers want to play more than one sport because it will help with their athletic skills.

With kids and teenagers wanting to play more than one sport will help them stay in shape which is always good to help your body stay fit. Playing sports helps kids and teenagers meet new people and make friends. Also, it is good to join sports because it will help them with social skills in the future. Playing more than one sport is going to help the kids and teenagers a lot more than only playing one sport which parents want their kids to only play one sport. The kids find it unfair and they should play more than one sport if they want to and some kids do play more than one sport. Although some kids only want to play one sport because they listen to their parents and they let their parents tell them want to do. I think it is better for kids and teenagers to play more than one sport because it can help them in the future when they meet new people when they get a job. Being social is always good for kids and teenagers because they will develop their skills in the future as well. There are a lot of good things for joining more than one sport like I said before it will help them meet new people, develop social skills, and it will prepare them for a job in the future with those skills.

Current Event-Patrick Kane

This past summer the NHL had to deal with a star NHL player that got in a lot of trouble. The NHL banned Patrick Kane from going on the annual preseason media tour which is the top 40 NHL stars which Kane is one of them, but he couldn't go on the tour due to his actions that he did in the summer. Kane was also lost a major endorsement with a popular video game and the manufactures changed there plans to put Kane's picture to appear on the game box. The NHL was in a tough position and had to decide if Patrick Kane was allowed to play this season for the Chicago Blackhawks.


Patrick Kane found himself under investigation in the summer for what he did to a girl when he invited her into his home. Kane had to get an attorney and this attorney represented Kane in two investigations, both involving conduct that was alleged to have occurred after Kane went to Buffalo bars in late hours. Following a three month investigation Sedita dropped the charges against Patrick Kane. The Hamburg police supported and agreed with the DA's decision, Hamburg Police Capt. Christopher Monaco said. Cambria said that bothered Kane the most was the pain that the rape investigation caused his family. Cambria said that Kane realizes that he made poor judgement by inviting a women in his home he had just met to his house in the early hours of the morning. Cambria says, "I know he's going to learn from this. I know that he is going to make some changes." The NHL has warned young players to be careful about their conduct in bars, and about the damage they can do to their images and careers by their conduct with women. Kane is really close with his two sisters and parents and will never do anything like this again. Kane's attorney said that Kane has learned his lessons from the rape investigation.

Youth Violence and Bad Parenting

The parents will get out of control if a referee makes a bad call. Parents fight with the referee or fight and argue with other parents. In youth sports like football and baseball parents fight on the field if the referee makes a bad call and the parents fight with each other and punch parents or the referee. With the kids that play the sport could get hurt when parents fight and it gets out of control. The violence with youth sports whenever a referee makes a bad call is really bad because the parents can throw punches and hurt someone. Fighting with other adults is a bad influence for your kid if the kids sees their parents fight over a referee call. In hockey, there is not a lot of fighting and violence but sometimes players will fight and gather on the ice if the referee makes a bad call.

I feel like the adults should control their anger at youth sports and it will be a good example for the kids if parents don't fight at the game or after the game. The kids probably don't like it when the parents fight because the parents get out of control at the game and people try to break it up. In hockey the league is trying to have less fights then the previous season where there were a lot of fights between players. The violence and bad parenting is really bad when it comes to youth sports because parents argue and they get out of control on the field. The kids will like their parents if they don't fight over a referee's call or punch other adults. Some parents can't help their anger and they get into trouble when they fight at the game.
