Most coaches don't allow students to participate in any sport other than their own. When I was in basketball, practice was at least 6 days a week, for at least 2.5 - 4 hours a day. The only time off was for 2 or so weeks in April, and a few weeks in August due to CSF rules. Because of basketball, I still suffer from injuries and my already existing problems became worse. That was over a year and a half ago, and I still suffer from shin splints everyday, I can't run because of my knees, ankles, and back. I can't put pressure on my arms because of my shoulders. Everytime I try to do something remotely active I get dizzy and sometimes start to black out. Although the coach said he would never stop people from joining other sports, current players are not allowed to even play in the Powder Puff football game for 2 weeks, let alone participate in another sport. It's ridiculous. AND because we don't have a court to play on, we have to practice in the too-small junior high cafeteria. There are no home games, only games that are hours away. Most times, players cannot do their homework because they don't get back until after midnight. Players shouldn't have to sacrifice so much, especially for a team that didn't even have uniforms. There seriously needs to be a change.

around my high school i have to say that i still people with their jacket... even when our sport reputations are really bad, students in every grade display their letterman jackets with pride.
me being a sophomore i got my letter for my jacket last year but i haven't gotten my jacket just because i haven't wanted to. but u do see people all over my high school with the jacket.

At the same time, perhaps not realizing the significance of their accomplishments, they were creating memories for a lifetime. Essay Writing | Coursework Writing | Assignment Writing

True that is very true. Playing sports is about having fun making a comemintment to the team and trying your best. Being a person who plays diffrent sports can truely find out what their good at and what they need to imporve so they can be better at it.

I go to a school with 200 from Pre-K to 12th Grade so naturally nearly everybody plays more than one sport. I play football, basketball, baseball, and track and field.

When you are talking about the increase in injuries among high school athletes it is right on the nose. So many of the athletes at my school have ended their season due to injury especially tore acl/mcl etc... And there are numerous athletes that get a minor injury and ignore it only to have it then spiral into something worse. People these days don't let themselves rest and recover between season, they are playing year round and are encouraged by coaches and parents to suck it up and keep going, rarely encouraged to give their body a break. I'm sure within the next ten years we will see huge numbers of adults who cannot be physically active anymore because there high school injuries have had long term affects on their body. Like some doctors say, once you break a bone it will never be completely the same, it will always have a higher risk of breaking again.
