My Opinion On Playing With Pain By Michelle Crouch

Decent Essays
I'm writing about my opinion on playing with pain. This article is written by Michelle Crouch. I think this article is accurate because of all the evidence of how kids get injured from playing sports too intensely. This story is accurate because as said in the article when kids play too many hours in a sport daily it can lead to injury which can then, if it's really bad mean you can't play ever again. Also if you play too much you'll burn out and end up quitting. You should defiantly reconsider how many hours your playing a sport. You wouldn't want to be injured! Sports are supposed to be for fun! Right?
