For some eighth graders like myself, this is the last season of all middle school sports. When you think about it, it’s actually pretty sad that our years of middle school sports are almost over.
That’s why I think it’s very important for everyone to do their best this season, no matter what sport they’re playing.
This year is a good time to start putting in your best effort for all of your sports for both seventh and eighth graders alike. Eight graders will be leaving for high school after this season, so it’s important they put in the work so they have a spot on the high school team.
In addition, high school practices are usually much harder than middle school ones. For the current seventh graders, they will have to step up as eighth graders next year and be the leaders for the rest of the team.
Doing your best is something that will get you recognized by a lot of people. For example, if you don’t have the skills or speed for a sport, but you put in your best effort, coaches will notice that and appreciate it.
