Motivation can be defined in many ways. For example, having motivation is to have drive, to want to do something because you choose to. Motivation can come from a variety of things. Having motivation can get you so far in life.

The key to motivation is finding something you love. If you have a passion for something this will cause you to have motivation. This can take you a long way. If you and another candidate are up to the same position for a job your boss would want to promote the candidate that has motivation for the job.

Playing sports can set you up for this. Playing a sport and managing school with that is key to success. If you can handle doing both and maintain good grades this can be a key to a successful life.

The hard part about playing a sport is keeping motivation for this sport. You can feel burnt out because of this. As long as you prioritize yourself, playing a sport can help you get through hard times. If you put all your effort into your sport you can be successful with it which will make you feel great.

A quote from Jewel Dezard, a senior “I played flag football at Coral Glades and this caused me to find passion here and feel motivated to come to class so I could attend my games later in the day.”

Playing a sport can make your attendance better. If you feel unmotivated in school but you feel motivated in your sport you will want to attend school. If you are not present in at least 2 classes you cannot play in a game.

A quote from Sarah Singh, a senior “Finding a sport you love can cause you to feel happy and better improve your academics  because of that factor.”

Sports can help you with your anger as well, especially if the sport is a contact sport. For example, a great sport that I personally play is lacrosse. This sport is great because you get to experience teamwork and you can put your frustration in the game.

Sports can also help you with focusing. If you always focus when you are in practice this can cause you to focus in school. That is creating good habits that you can use just not in your sport.

Creating good habits can be used in your future. You can take these habits with you to your future like A job you may get in the future.

In general, sports help you with motivation which helps you not just in school but with life. This is why sports are so important to many. Even just watching sports can help you with motivation because you will always tune into it.
