More Than Sports
For some people, sports is their whole identity
Their whole life
It is all they talk about
Think about,
And the only thing that keeps them going.
But chances are you won’t be playing them forever.
Most people won’t go pro.
You need to broaden your interests,
Find things you like doing
You might find out that life has more to offer,
Than just sports
Don’t get me wrong, sports are awesome,
I think that they are the best part of school.
Sports help build character and teach you a lot of things
But sometimes,
They become your whole life.
Like when I started writing this poem,
And all I had in my head was “Baseball, Football, Basketball.”
And I could not think of anything else
Think of your interests
If you love sports
You could be a coach
A trainer,
Or maybe a ref,
But usually, you need more than just that
There are so many opportunities
Each one a different path
You could do anything
Be anything,
You just have to put your mind to it
Take the things you learned in sports
The hard work,
The dedication,
The perseverance,
And put that into something else that you think you might like
You never know,
You might find something awesome
Maybe a new hobby,
Something to do for fun
It might surprise you,
All your different interests,
You just have to step out of your comfort zone
