Sports are as vital a part of a young person’s education as music, mathematics, art and reading. There are no additional programs supported by schools which would teach young people tangible skillsets, such as coordination, cooperation, performance and pursuit of excellence. Sports would also neutralize additional problems most schools encounter. A well developed and funded sports program in any school help the institution develop and identity in the community, conference, and nation. A well-funded school program helps attract better student athletes since the program traditionally creates more scholarship money for non-athletic programs.
Women’s professional sports don’t do as well since each program is seen as pioneering. It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain sponsorship, funding, venues and recruiting for women’s sports. If there is no natural path to professional sports, from high school and college, then it becomes virtually impossible to recruit retain and pay professional women athletes. In many instances, the highest level for specific types of women sports is amateur. There are few professional leagues to help establish competition, sponsorship and salaries. As an amateur, the collegiate is able to perform in the Olympics, but has to compete in the world stage only every four years. It is not until the Olympics that most of them can get sponsors or have some of their expenses paid. Often, the Olympics mark the end of the line for Women athletes and notoriety and fame come by way of product sponsorship. Without leagues and conferences, the glass ceiling in women’s professional sports is reached in college. This all that has been said I say for school to not only put money for sport but do a little bit more for the women so we can have equal benefits as the men do such as better view and thought process of society.]]> http://www.writerq.com/mobile/library/768/womens-sports/ Thu, 09 Oct 2014 12:51:26 +0000 Isamar Caines
