"Ex- Basketball Player " Paragraph

School athletics are important to me because sports come with many lessons and qualities along with academic motivation. I do think that it prepares young people for life because as I said before, it teaches a student a lesson, and not just for basketball, but for life and its hardships it throws at you. For Example, It teaches discipline because your coach has a higher authority that the athlete and deserves respect. Additionally, it teaches patience because in order to learn and play well an athlete needs patience. Also, it teaches teamwork. This is so because without a team nothing will succeed. As a result athletics are important in a young person’s life because of the lessons and ethnics taught.
