Introduction to my sports blog.

Hello Fellow Bloggers!!!

My name is Courtney and I'm here to talk to you about sports. You name it I got it... I will start with a brief background about myself. I'm a 20 year college student who has a strong love for sports and all that it brings. I played basketball for the last ten years, powder puff football for two years, and soccer for 6 years. I always had this passion with basketball my whole life and I taught myself how to play. In my spare time I still engage in some one on one basketball outside of work and school. I also coach basketball clinics to little kids to help them with their skills. OK, enough about me let's talk about the athletes beyond the spotlight.

A wide range of athletes are drafted straight from high school without a college education. These athletes see the money and the fame instead of the education they need to succeed in life. Money often covers up flaws and marriages are constantly going downhill at the expense of the fast life. Infidelity, drugs, injuries, education, and making wrong investments all leads to being broke, out of a job, and ending up in divorce. We all make mistakes in life and some unfortunately don't learn from them. Professional athletes have a lot on their plate from preparing for the season or taking care of their family, but most of them are to worry about their money and fame. The one thing that makes a good professional athlete is how you act on and off the court. Being a good role model and having good sportsmanship will show kids and everyone that it’s not all about winning; it’s about the love that you have for the sport you play. If you have the love for the sport you play; you will succeed in any game or practice you play in.
