"I wish I could be this season, but I have to work."
"Really, why did you work?"
"Why do I need a car."
"Why do you need a car?"
"This way I can work ..."
If you are a coach in high school, I'm sure you like the way he had a conversation with one of his young athletes. It seems that athletes pull students work more and more powerful to be involved in sport.
Thus, most of these athletes really need toWork?
I'd say the answer is "no."
But how do you get the message across to young people? You can not play, you pay for. Why else would they work?
Many young people want to work because their parents earn money, learn responsibility and learn the value of hard work.
What is a bad coach to do?
Reason number one: "I need money."
Your student athletes need money or want money? There is a big difference. Money mustmean, to help support their family. Working to buy food, clothing and shelter - the bare minimum - is probably a good reason to choose a job in the field of sport. I do not think this is the case in most situations.
payments or the bike, ATV, snowmobile or boat for that matter - how many students in your school, car payments? It 's a shame that we encourage students in debt at such an early age. These are the concepts that the old man for sixteen or seventeen? Talka trap.
I would say that young people stay young longer. You will earn the next 40 to 50 years for a paycheck and buy "stuff" when they reach adulthood. Your window of opportunity in sport is limited. Once they make their final exams, the majority will never have another opportunity to play competitive sports.
Money for the failure is not a valid reason to miss the sport. Do we really want his money for a young main motivationat all?
Reason number two: "A job teaches responsibility."
But sport does not teach them that the same value? Being in a team are responsible for their behavior, their votes to remain eligible for their efforts in practice and in games, but put in place in time, priorities and on and on and on. These lessons can not work 20 or 30 hours a week to learn.
responsibility for learning does not come from the world of work in this firstAge.
Reason number three: "A job teaches them the value of hard work."
Let's talk about 'the hard work of a student athlete. A school for 7 or 8 hours per day. Practice for another 2 hours. Games 2 to 3 times a week. make studying and homework, they are still playing. Perhaps some homework. All this adds up to well over 40 hours per week. And all this without having a real "work." How many adults are willing to offer this many hours a week working in theirJobs?
And what better way to see the hard work pays off. Inauguration and commissioning time and effort leads to success on the field, field, track, swimming, etc., to identify true cause and effect, when hard work pays off in improved performance should be.
As a student athlete already hard work.
So, there you are. Some ammunition to use when you lose athletes to work. This change in the mind of every parent and student that you run on? Of courseno. You can, however, as explained in the benefits of athletics can help some athletes, you have lost may be surprised. Remember the hard work and responsibility that come with the rest of the student athletes. Just maybe you wait a bit 'more, the car ...
