Paper Summary:
The paper discusses how high school athletes are becoming more competitive than ever before. The desire to become an elite athlete has become a top priority while attending high school. Athletics is often a deciding factor when selecting a college or university. The paper relates that coaches highly recommend athletes to participate in sport through activities and sport programs year round and when not in season at high school, which may not allow the high school student athlete any rest and or recovery time throughout the year, resulting in overuse or repetitive stress injuries.From the Paper:
"Researchers report that more than 38 million youths participate in sporting activities (Seefeldt & Ewing, 1997 as cited by Stewart and Bengier, 2001) with the number climbing every year. Nearly twice as many children participated in interscholastic sporting events in 1997-1998 compared to 1971-1972 (National Federation of State High School Associations, 1998 as cited by Stewart and Bengier, 2001). Stewart and Bengier (2001) report the increase is even more dramatic for females, rising from 294,000 in 1971-1972 to over 2.6 million in 1997-1998. Hayward (2001) states that in 1972 only one in 27 female students enrolled in high school participated on a varsity sports team whereas by 1998 the rate was one in three."More papers on The Priority of Sport:
