Freedom As an athlete‚ pressure is one of the hardest things to manage. There are three major ways pressure can affect an athlete’s performance‚ parent pressure‚ peer pressure(friends‚ spectators‚ coaches and media) and self pressure‚ does pressure ever become too much? Being an athlete I have experienced pressure‚ my father being an Olympic coach and the expectations I put on myself every time I step on the ice or the field can be hard to manage. Parents put too much pressure on their children

people might know. Being a student athlete is honestly very difficult for young men and women to live up to. Even though it is a difficult task‚ it comes with its benefits.

What is a student-athlete? Why is there a need to further describe a student that chooses to play interscholastic or intercollegiate athletics? We do not tend see students that participate in the science club or on a debate team as student-scientists or student-orators. The answer lies in our culture’s promotion of sport participants to a level of recognition not set aside for other extracurricular activity team members. From kids to collegians‚ we loudly applaud those who can run faster‚ throw

The Effect on a Student Athlete’s Education in College Athletics The reason that a person goes to college is to get a better education and prepare them for what may lie ahead in the future. But it is becoming more and more evident that education is not the priority of most student athletes or some coaches. It is because of the win-at-all-costs motto that so many athletes and coaches believe in nowadays. Some student-athletes do not get a proper education because of the emphasis put on competing

because I am a student athlete myself. Although I am not a student-athlete in the NCAA‚ I am a member of the University of Windsor women’s soccer team and have to balance being enrolled as a full-time student and a full-time athlete. In Canada you never see full-ride scholarships leading to a free education and I think NCAA athletes are unaware how fortunate they are to not have to worry about future debt.

This is due to the fact that in today’s high school sports venue‚ being a true student-athlete has become a very cumbersome task. I guess I’m not what you would call a “star” athlete. I’m the

Being an athlete comes with a very big price. Many people say collegiate student athletes have it just as hard as a normal college student. I have to disagree though. There are multiple examples that separate athletes from the regular or average student. Time constraints‚ stereotypes‚ class attendance‚ physical and emotional fatigue‚ and also the athletic sport the student is participating in‚ are just few of the many burdens athletes have on the shoulders that the common student does not.

My topic for this research paper is “Should College athletes get paid for playing a sport?” My implied audience for this topic would be athletes‚ coaches‚ athletic directors‚ and NCAA coordinators. I will inform them why college athletes should get paid for what they do day in and day out.
