Student-Athletes. Most people may not understand how sports, when coupled with athletics, is a powerful combination for student's success.

Athletics provides an outlet for children who participate in sporting activities. It also gives them a group with whom they can identify. They establish a since of pride in accomplishing great things with others. It builds a sense of community and unity.

Many student-athletes develop the ability to establish SMART goals which help them throughout their life. For example, if an athlete understands their contribution to the team is of value, they will make a commitment to the team's success by ensuring they do their part to achieve victory. Once the goal is achieved they may also have a sense of pride because they believe in themselves and the team.

Great things can happen when students participate in extra-curricular activities.
