JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 4

Yes, I do think the pressure of teen sports has gone too far. One reason is teens are taught that their sport has to be the most SIGNIFICANT aspect in their life. That's not true and also way over rated. Another reason is parents may put a lot of pressure on their teens to be very competitive in sports and while they're doing this they probably won't feel the need to IDENTIFY someone's feelings during one of the games. As a result to this the teens may be too rough and inconsiderate. Additionally, the teen may be falling behind in school and it will be harder for them to CONSTRUCT their school work. In conclusion, I think that parents are a big part of the pressure put on teens and if they know what their priorities are and not feel obligated to be the best at a sport they will succeed more in many categories of their lives.
