My belief is that sports in school is not an extracurricular activity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Of course, in our grade school, in those days, there were no organized sports at all. We just went out and ran around the school yard for recess.
Though teenagers are generally very interested in sports, they must realise that education is the most important thing in their lives. They must find the right balance.
Being in school is the best place to be if you are an athlete because you can structure your own time.
I never did any sports at school. It wasn't until I moved to America, to New York, when I was about 20 that I actually thought that if I wanted to be an actress I might have to start working out.
Despite the amazing diversity we're blessed with in this country, schools are still in large part segregated because of economic disparity. Sports are one of the few areas where kids are really given the opportunity to interact with those of different races and religions.
Schools are really, really important. It gives you access to every kid in the country. It gives you a massive pool of people to see who might be talented at different sports. It allows kids to try sports. Kids can be inspired all they want, but if they can't go out and try a sport, then it's no good.
Seems like most of the kids today are into other sports other than tennis.
In any small town, sports are really important to the high school, and I wasn't very good at sports.
I think sports are extremely beneficial for our youth. They parallel life in so many ways.
It's so important for kids to get involved with sports in general at a young age.
