BY AMAYA BROCKINGTON, Freshman
BLYTHEWOOD-- The stereotype of the “dumb jock” has been around for years. People often think that student athletes aren’t the smartest or most of them aren't as successful compared to non-student athletes. But coaches, teachers and athletes would argue otherwise.
Sports can actually make students perform better in school. Statistically, research indicates that youth who participate in sports, whether school or community sports, perform better academically than children who do not participate in sports.
Two freshmen student athletes agreed with this claim. They believe that playing a sport helps them maintain good grades and learn discipline.

“I’ve taken both the SAT and ACT twice,” senior Haven Davis said.
According to College Confidential, most students take them about three times to get the score that they were shooting for.
