- Do sports keep a person from trouble?
- Do sports positively or negatively affect a person acedemically?
- Do sports build character?
The only source I have at this time is from my own personal experiences. Addressing my second research question, before playing competive baseball, my grades were much lower than they currently are today. I believe that participating in competive sports forced me to start establishing priorities. Since I love playing sports, playing competive became one of my main priorities. What motivated me to do well and study hard in school were the rules that my parents enforced. If I did not do well in school, then I would not be able to play sports any further.
