Any sports can be used in many different ways according to the individual. Sometimes as a stress-reliever, as a hobby, or in most cases, as a way outlet from the problems one may face in life. If a person is not having the best of days, or weeks, or whatever the case may be, they may pick up a basketball, baseball, or football and just let that activity take them away from reality. A lot of people are not aware that some of America’s most talented athletes have become as successful as they are because they used their sport as a way out of life’s many issues.
Many people regard the court, or the field as their “sanctuary” for the simple fact that they can come there at any time to be away from the quarrels of life and get away, almost the same as when a Christian goes to the Church to be near God and get away from our issues in life. Many of the great athletes tend to appreciate more the sport that they play, which also shows and displays them being appreciative of God’s greatness and His creativeness in providing us with activities to engage in so that they can in hand, showcase the talents that God has so graciously blessed them with.
People do not seem to realize all the royalties that God has given us. He gives us things such as sports just as a means to escape reality since the world is filled with so many evils and dangers, and this is where our religion can tie into our sports. It gives us the strength the help us persevere when it may seem as though life is difficult and too hard to live. This shows that God knows exactly what He is doing and also that He does many of these things simply to test our faith and to see how far we will go until we are on our knees and cry out for His help. - Eddie Johnson

This is especially true with adolecents. Yea, the pros have drama and the sports help them ou with it, but more times then not they're in it for a paycheck unfortunately. Grammar school and middle school kids play to have fun and be versatile which is great, but nothing compares to the high school athletes. If you've had a rough day in school and you got a practice right after odds are your going to have a rush where you just want to let all that anger out and sports allow us to so that. For most high school athletes, they will choose the sport over the book which in moderation isn't a bad thing and its actually good for you. There are plenty of smart, intellectuals who simply just go home after school and study or play video games. Although they have the grades, what else is going for them? Do they go out at all? Most intellectuals are so narrow minded and set on school that nothing else matters to them and it has to be stressful. As high school students, they might think colleges are looking for the smartest kids in the world but most of the real good schools are looking for well roundedness. They don't want you to be a workaholic and just not care about anything else, and you shouldn't wan that either. Sports are jsut one way to let everything and just relax and take your mind off all the stress you're going through. -Joe Nitti
