text: First, a student may be having some problems at home and sports are their way of feeling batter or getting that stress out. If you clamp down on that person and take away their outlet, that could result in the student feeling overwhelmed and stressed out. I know from personal experience that when I walk into school after a big fight with my mom, I feel like crap, but knowing that I have basketball to look forward to I can make my way through the school day.
