Athletic Participation and Development of the Self
Abstract
Athletic participation is a huge part of our society today. Children
are socialized to athletics at a very young age as youth
participation in athletics is at the highest rate in our country’s
history. The increased participation in sport in America has a
great impact on our society, but affects various people in different
ways. I explored the effects of athletic participation in our society
as a whole and on the different types of participants.
