Many teenagers dislike going to school but for some, school and sports are their only escape of the reality of being homeless. If these kids don't have sports to keep them going they would just drop out of school and they would keep the cycle going for their future kids. Isaiah Lambs is a perfect example of why having an athletic program at every school is important. Isaiah was sleeping pretzeled in the back of his mom's tiny car for months on end. He also missed so many tournaments because him and his mom couldn't afford the entrance fees. But above all of that, basketball star Isaiah persevered and now has an apartment with his own room and mattress. Coaches aren't just random people to these students they are like another set of parents.
