Personally, I have had a mix of positive and negative experience of sports in the family, however, I do not play sports at all so it does not directly affect my well-being but rather my sibling’s.
To begin, when my brother, Glen, was a junior in high school he played a variety of sports. Those sports being wrestling and football but then he had an injury in his wrestling sport more than once. He had torn his ACL and had broken his collar bone. On the negative side this caused my brother to not play sports ever again in his high school career which obviously was saddening to everyone in the family. But then again, to be more positive at least, he then figured out what he wanted to be when he was older, a physical therapist. By working with a physical therapist for more than once a month he had grown attached to the profession and he later decided to do his senior project on physical therapy. After my brother had figured out what he wanted to do when he was older he got his life together. His first year at college which was at East Carolina University he had no distractions such as sports so he had made all A’s and got onto the dean’s list.
My other brother, on the other hand has had no awful experiences with sports. He has been playing lacrosse and football for as long as I can remember. Throughout high school he has been the most sporty one in the family, always getting lacrosse equipment for Christmas and his birthday. This year he is a senior and plans on going to college to play lacrosse and major in psychology. This is really positive as he will be receiving money for both his academic and athletic skills. These scholarships, grants and financial aid will help assist Bryan into having the least amount of debt coming out of school as possible. Therefore causing my brother to (hopefully) being successful. So with all of the financial aid that Bryan will receive I will have more money to go towards where I want to go school!
In conclusion, my family has had an obvious experience of positive and negative experiences with sports, mainly positive though. All of the positive experiences have impacted my family and I for the better.
