Discourse on sports


Covering sports story can be tedious, especially if you have little to no background or knowledge of the various skills it takes to perform competitively. I teach at a high school that prioritizes and focuses on academics. However, 14 to 18 year old boys and girls simply love sports as well; albeit, many believe its what college admissions officers want to see on their applications. Nonetheless, sports still experience a lot of support by our students, parents, teachers and administration. I'm sure our athletics department would disagree with my statement, but compared to some academically-driven institutions, we are relatively vibrant in the sports department. In the context of journalism, this makes for some very unique stories from a multitude of perspectives. I look forward to returning and sharing some of the insight I obtained from the program.
