Entertainment for the Body and Mind

Summary


With the massive controversy surrounding FCAT, the proper time had to be given to the reason why some parents do not allow their children to play sports, the time factor. Parents such as Trifinia Penderapraph would disagree with those who argue against extra curricular activities. "Football helps my son focus on schoolwork because he knows if he does not do well in school there will be no football," replied Penderapraph. Penderapraph said that "football would benefit a number of students" who seem less motivated to complete work or less likely to be successful on FCAT. This principle of education is proven through the kids in the form of Curtis Simpson, number 54, who said that, "College is more important than playing football."

"There is no such thing as failure, losing is a learning experience," said Dwain Rutherford, team coach and parent of John, number 84. "Losing makes the competitive juices of a child flow and stimulates them to do better and try their hardest."

"Success comes on even grounds," said Stanley Glasgow, father of Kendall, "if it is going to be, then it will be." For Mark Dixon, coach of the 130 lb Lions, "losing just happens" and helping the kids understand that is the key to his tactics. Providing a positive perspective on losing helps the players practice better to ensure that their luck will be better next time and that they will succeed in making the right amount of points to be victorious.
