7 Things I Got From High School Sports

High School sports have so much more purpose than those four years. High School sports really shape you to be a better person. One person no matter how long you play can get so much out of high school sports.

1. Memories

You will never forget the times that you have spent on that field with those teammates. They are stories you laugh about in the future and that you tell your new teammates.

2. Athletic Skills for College Intramurals

You will dominate college intramurals and any fundraisers that you participate in the future. You will be the star of slow pitch softball.

3. A competitive drive

You will be competitive which is a great quality to have. When it comes to just playing games to fighting for an internship.

4. Teamwork

This is a quality that will help in group projects to out in the work force. It really helps you understand how to share the glory and the work.

5. The Idea of Disappointment

You have experienced great times, but throughout any sports there are tough losses. These help you in the future deal with the concept of disappointment

6. Work Ethic

Form practicing five days a week to pushing for that starting spot. This is a quality future employers and teachers will love. It will make you very successful no matter what path you go down.

7. Time Management

From balancing those five day a week practices to balancing all of your school work plus that part time job. It makes you so successful in college when you have all that free time and you procrastinate.

Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
