    Student Athlete Benefits

    • 4 Pages

    Being a student athlete should be a privilege‚ a reward; it should always come second‚ after the students education. It seems that student athletes get special treatments‚ getting away with having low grades‚ having an extended time to do assignments‚ or even being excused from them. There needs to be a more strict policy in order to be on a high school sports team and to play in games. After all‚ high schools do not require students to participate in team or individual sports. Most high school students

    Mihir Bhagat on the website Bleacher Report. The author believes that athletes are getting paid way too much money for their role in society; to play games for people’s entertainment. Salaries and wages are traditionally based on the value of one’s work but this rule does not necessarily follow in reference to high league athletes. In a day where one should be paid according to that person’s job’s economic importance‚ athletes simply are not. An example used in the article is the difference in salary

    There has been major discussion recently if college athletes should or shouldn’t be paid while they are in school. The first thing opponents say is‚ "They’re already getting a scholarship!

"That’s $100‚000 over four years!" Yes it is‚ but most athletes don’t last at a school for the whole four years. Once

    A Relaxing Place A relaxing place for me would be my house. There is no place like home. Home is where you can do what you want in privacy. You can wear what you want‚ say or do what you want. You don’t have to do anything. A person can really relax better in their home. Most would go somewhere special but I choose home. At home you can sleep all day and not have to worry about anything‚ just lay there and be lazy. You can relax in your own bedroom better than any place in the world.

    What are your impressions of the movie? First of all‚ I like those kind of movies because the principal theme is about a sport and I am an athlete. I think the story is a bit too short and doesn’t have enough action to keep the viewer’s attention. Also‚ I liked how it showed us the efforts an athlete puts into his sport. It’s a good image of what an young athlete gets through in a normal day. 2. What do you understand in this story? I understand that Danny is sport-study student who tries to improve
