Sports And How Important They Should Be.

Okay, football for example. What are the chances ANYONE on this forum will go pro? This is a huge forum with probally 500-1000 football players. I'm sure some of you are fairly decent, but seriously I doubt any of us will go pro. (I'm not trying to brag) But I'm one of the highest ranked Tight Ends in my state, and I won't go pro. I couldn't go pro if I wanted, I MIGHT get some scholorship to some triple A school. Baseball, I'm also one of the highest ranked Catchers, there I have a better shot, but still a very slim one. Basketball, psh, I'm white. I may be decent, but hell, I suck compared to alot of people. Anyways, considering all that, how much should we push ourselves for sports? Should we put aside our school work for it? I do, even though I don't think I should. Football takes up so much time, and energy it's hard not to just focus on it. Some one, may get lucky enough to make it on a pro football team. Lets say for the sake of argument that I do. Was it worth it? Sure I'm making a lot of money. However my education is shot. What if I fell wrong on my knee and my career is over after the first game? I'm screwed. So, I believe sports should have its place in your life, but should not be your life. Whether or not I practice what I preach, is another story...but...I can't help it, I love the games!...

 

i play football and baseball to and im mad good not best in my state though. but i live in ny and thts hard when its like half black ppl tht hve 4.4 speed. but with football its more of a way of life then a sport. cuz personally for me i train all yr for it. working out and ----.but school should always come first. i mean yea on game day im thinkin about the game and not school but all the other days is school though yea i miss alota hw but i do good on test and still manage to maintain an 85 average

 

I have a 4.0 gpa, however I most certainly don't work for it. I live in VA, it's a hard state as well, alot of military from all over.

 

I won CIF last year in track and feild. I have a 4.3 GPA. School is BS it is completely biased and idotic information but it is so easy to get A's that I barely do any work and I get A's on all my test without studying. I play football as well.

 

I wouldn't mind if sports took over my life, it's so fun smashing into people,and running up and down with a basketball. Great excercise

 

My school, we can't get over a 4.0. Highest you can get at my school is 4.0. *shrugs*

 

No AP classes? That sucks. Football is the best. Yesterday I got 7 tackles, 2 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles. I love just hitting the person and feeling yoour helmet colliding with theres.

 

I'm the guy that pancakes you when you go after his running back. Which I do plenty often. Also, if you're a linebacker, which I'm assuming yes, maybe not, I'm also the guy that runs past you and catches the ball and runs for twenty yards for a TD.

 

u won CIF that makes no sense

I do football and track..

freshman year I ran a 4.6 but sophmore season I tore my acl and I am getting surgery this week..

 

Yeah, I was a cif champion.

 

CIF champion lol....
do u know wut CIF is?

 

I'm curious to know...

 

It stands for California Interscholastic Federation

 

You have never heard of CIF Championships?

 

How do you know, if you dont try genius.

Im pretty good at basketball, but I couldnt make senior team this year.

I know i wont go pro, cuz im not built for it. Im not incredibly tall and im only 120 lbs. I definately got speed, moves, and a sweet 3. They dont call me rain man for nothin but when i go back on D i cant hold my ground, too weak.
