Athletic Impact to Youth “Students who participate in structured extracurricular activities are likely to have higher academic achievement and higher levels of commitment and attachment to school” (Duncan, 2000, p.6). “Many positive benefits for adolescents may result from participation in sports which can enhance their self-esteem and increase their interest in sports” (National Middle School Association, 1997, p.2). “One way students gained self image and peers acceptance was through sports” (Black,2001)
