About Me

Youth Sports are on the rise in America! About one in three youth participate in contact sports. However, the other two thirds of the youth spend more time indoors tied up in sitting activities than in former years, but that creates an unhealthy lifestyle for the youth. Childhood obesity has risen since the former years where kids ride their bikes and play contact sports. It is important that America’s youth begin to form habits that will guarantee a healthy future. Schools that call for mandatory gym classes are in a place to help. Youth sports help children develop strength and endurance, learn cooperation and teamwork, and improve self-confidence. Critics claim that today’s youth risks outweigh the benefits because playing a contact can lead to concussions and other pains on your body. Supporters like myself of youth sports disagree.

Student presentations were excellent in my opinion. I liked a lot of the visuals in the power-points. Everyone seemed to have great knowledge of what they wanted to do or where they were going on their presentations. However, some students did not have a very clear thesis on their presentation and our professor said you need to make sure our thesis were clear because that is what your defending or going against as known as your claim. Some students also didn't have clear central ideas and had to be told that you got have great central ideas because it is a five page paper were writing. My topic in my presentation was Youth Sports. In my presentation, I felt it was good, but I have to make sure my central ideas are clear, so I can even gather up the information to support my claim. In order to improve my presentation I will go back and make sure that my central ideas are clear and good enough to support my claim.
