socialize or have a break? That doesn't have to sports. It can be whatever they want. I only said I focused on them too much as a college student. Many don't think of sports at all. You don't need it to have a successful healthy academic experience. I am not certain it helps the average student at all. You all think it is vital and worth the tremendous cost at the high school level. The benefits that I have seen actually demonstrated is for the participants. I want that to be the focus.
