Do Athletes Need a Gpa

In Asia in order to get into tenth grade you have to have a very high g.p.a. Unlike the United States where you can pass with a very low g.p.a. Since middle school and high school sports are a pleasure. To play I believe that you should have to maintain a certain grade point average to participate in the activity. By maintaining, a decent g.p.a, you're not only making yourself better; you're also preparing for the adult world.

Getting good grades is like a toll booth you have to pay, get good grades, before you can pass. Maintaining good grades will help you become an improved player overall. It will keep you balanced in every sport. For example, if you learn and get well in geometry you can calculate the correct arc in basketball and make all of your shots. By doing this you help yourself and your team. Who doesn't want a teammate who helps you win most of your games? Eventually, I hope that the principal will make athletes maintain a certain grade point average. Our principal always states, "We are here to build college bound learner." By enforcing athletes to maintain a certain grade point average she will.

If athletes maintain a certain g.p.a then the skills of time managing, discipline organizing, just to name a few will better yourself on and off the court. Organization is a key component for many college students. If athletes learn now in high school or middles school this can boost their opportunity for success. On the other hand I believe maintaining a grade point average is important is because it help you in some sports for example football, basketball, and soccer. The last trait that will help an athlete if they maintain a certain grade point average is discipline. Discipline factors into everyday life its how you use it that makes a difference. Finally, if an athlete can maintain their grade point average hey are becoming better at life. This means they know what to do on and off the court and field. By maintaining your g.p.a you will have the experience of a college student. By having experience you gain a little bit of knowledge of adult hood. Gaining experience will improve you as a leader. Which will eventually give you lessons in life. This is the main reason I believe the principal should make athletes maintain a certain grade point average. It helps them become a better athlete overall.

All in all, I think a certain grade point average should be required for athletes. As an athlete my goal
