I think the whole idea behind sports is overrated. Sports is something that should be a hobby, not something that people depend their life on. One reason I believe people rely heavy on sports is because of the parents. Parents of students that participate in sports anticipate that sports is the way to go to live a complete and successful life, instead of having sports being something that they love. 

Coaches are also a big part of sports being overrated. Why? Coaches depend too much on their students to take their team to the top and be the best. In order to do that, they overwork the kids and over practice them, when sports is supposed to be something they love. It's almost like coaches have a bigger ego than the students that are performing well. It actually saddens me because coaches can make students fall out of love with what they want to do because of being overworked and that's not fair to the student because they just want to play. But then again, students do sign up to play sports so that is their decision at they end of they day.
