This week I read in an article that was published in 2001 titled, "Coaches Critical Thinking:Athletes Towards Self- sufficiency," that discussed how an athlete was pasted through his high school english class and now in college is unable to keep up with the curriculum. The athlete was allowed in high school to miss his classes only because of his coach writing him a note that excused him. Many athlete are afraid to speak up about their misguidance with their education. -Often many athletes don't see the problem with them no being in class. This is something that is still is occurring in school systems today. Although there are more rules that try to prevent this from happening, it doesnt change that athletes still need help with their academics. Tutoring Services are available for students to get help with their school work. However for an athlete who was always given the passing grade, going to tutoring is a bit scary. Not knowing how to ask for help is a problem that not only athletes face. I believe that with new media, I can spread awareness about athletes fear of asking for help and getting more to attend tutoring services. This something that I would like to incorporate into my webiste.
