What are the advantages and disadvantages of student participating in sports?

Answer 1

I myself, disliked sports because I liked to camp, fish- do my own things. However, I know of the advantages I missed out on.

-ADVANTAGES:

Student remains active and thus lives a healthy life style.

Student may be look upon by colleges later in life if strongly active in sports.

Student may be looked upon by peers as a healthy individual- and may lead to peers quitting any drug habits they may have.

-DISADVANTAGES (very few) :

Student (depending on school, or coach) may get home very late, leading to the possible difficulties keeping up with his/her work.

Sometimes depending on the sport- student could get seriously injured, I.E. Concussion, broken bones.. etc. this is a very obvious side affect that we tend to get over when getting involved with these activities.
