Non Athletes Case Study

There are two types of people for every group of individuals in high school. The ones that are referred to as “cool” and those referred to as “nerds”. In this case we have those who are Athletes and those who are Non- Athletes, Athletes are often looked upon for leadership and iconic models, hard workers physically and mentally for scholarship opportunities and are known to have time management. While Non- Athletes are working harder mentally rather than physically for scholarship opportunities, some to none of them time management skills and looked upon for leadership differently than Athletes.

By doing this they are looked at as leaders and role models, people that are able to manage themselves both physically and mentally to support them and their talents. This kind of behavior has developed during the practices with the push that the coaches and love ones provide which drives them to determination to be the greatest. Such a task is not easy to do, it involves timing and scheduling having to split their day’s dedication half to their sport and half to their education.

This can be achieved by joining clubs that interact with the communities around them and volunteering for activities that help these communities and other organizations. With over time of experience
