I believe athletics helps students to grow in many ways. It teaches teamwork, dedication, perseverance, sportsmanship and even in defeat valuable life lessons are learned. I can attribute my work ethic today to my experiences I had by being an athlete. In life you will have to face many obstacles and I know personally I am able to handle them with greater ease because I was an athlete.
