So it is so easy to say someone is a jock, and then equate that to "Dumb Jock". But that isn't the case the majority of the time. "Jocks" tend to have better time management skills then students that are not playing sports. This skill helps them to be able to get their homework done on time and still put in a full practice. So I ask you, what do you feel is the truth. The link below is an article that disproves the negative affect sports supposedly plays on academics.
Does participation in sports negatively affect academics?
What do you think?
I believe that sports can have POSITIVE effects on children's academics. I think it is not only the sports, but also the fact that the parents of children that play those sports stay involved with their children.
