A Growing Obsession with Sports

The overwhelming majority of At-Risk males are preoccupied with sports, especially 
basketball. They are constantly talking about and emulating sports and professional 
basketball players like Lebron James, Steph Curry, and others. 

They also try to purchase the most expensive sports jerseys and gym shoes that their 
favorite basketball stars wear.

This personality trait limits their interest with education, schoolwork, or homework and 
they focus all their energy, time and efforts to being the best football or basketball player, 
thus ignoring school related requirements.

This obsession with ‘dreams of basketball stardom’ cause so many young At-Risk  male 
students to become one-dimensional, focusing only on basketball; minimizing their education; 
ignoring their other academic talents and potentials.

My mission is to teach At-Risk males the importance of being a good scholar athlete.
