Would you rather be a good student or a good athlete? Many people I asked said they’d rather be a good athlete, but you need the grades to be a good athlete and to be seen. Some people are just focused on the sport and not the academic part or the school part. Many coaches are looking for the grades not how good you play or are, if you have bad grades or a bad attitude they’re just going to skip you. They make sure that you’re attitude is good and then they look at the grades the academics, and all of that. Some of the people I asked said that they’d rather be a good student and gave me many reasons, the first reason was because you learn respect for others and yourself and you also gain self-control. You need self-control when playing sports because if you mess up then you need to know what to do after, if you have a bad attitude after you mess up then that’s going to make the people who are looking at you not want to look because they need people that will make them look good as a coach or as a trainer. Many coaches want players with good everything they want you to be good because you reflect off of them as a coach and how they teach you. You also need to be doing well in school in order to get into a good school and at least get a chance in the sport you are wanting to play.
