Picking a thesis that encompasses all of America’s sport history, or any aspect of America for that matter, is extremely difficult. One thing that is hard to argue against is an athlete’s power in addressing the general public whether they want to or not. Athletes are constantly under the magnifying glass of America, if they choose to promote a certain issue everyone will know about it. On the flip-side, if an athlete can be seen representing an issue just by being a part of something bigger…

As far as student athletes are concerned, the RC hockey team sets out every game to be well rounded Christians competing in a sport they love. Some of these athletes, after further observation, are very talented. Unfortunately, I was unable to speak with them.

of my school I think of family. Not the family that you live with, but your friends and teammates. At Pioneer Jr. Sr. High School everyone is a friend.

However, kids shouldn’t do these sports because the rush of adrenaline isn’t worth the risks of injury or death. In the passage “Should Children do Extreme Sports?” by Lauren Tarshis, it states ”According to the study of seven X Games sports, extreme athletes have suffered about four million injuries between 2000 and 2011.” This means that the high risk of injury makes extreme sports very…

Trophies can encourage ,but not mean so much when offered. Trophies can bring kids so much inspiration. Losing interests is easy when losses start piling up. If not given encouragement youth athletes will lose interests in a sport if they feel like they're not winning. The participation trophies…
