higher. Faster. Next. - The motto of the Olympic Games is at the forefront of all sports at public schools are offered here in the United States of America. The grounds of the public schools turns after school at three clock in the afternoon to sports performance centers with running tracks, gyms and health centers. A total of fifteen sports are currently offered at my high school.
of American football and soccer, on ski-running and diving to athletics and tennis, everything is represented. School sport - unlike Germany - written large. Everything is voluntary, but once registered, there is no turning back from the very hard and long workouts and competitions. From now on it is part of the team. Before it is where you have to qualify for each team in selection competitions.
the same time, the idea of \u200b\u200b"fair play" transferred to the school teams. Although ambition and work pressure among students is much larger than in Germany, but is not excluded or left behind.
In the fall of 2008 I decided to play football - what else can you expect from a German exchange student? The football season lasted only four months, but I had two hours every night Training, sowie mindestens zwei Spiele pro Woche. Sechs professionelle Trainer und ein Teamarzt kümmerten sich die rund 25 Spieler.
Das wohl größte Sportevent im Herbst in den USA ist ohne Zweifel American Football. Über 5.000 Zuschauer füllen pro Spiel die Stadien. Im Winter sind die Basketballspiele mit über 3.000 Zuschauern der Anziehungspunkt des Sportjahres.
Abhänig von der Größe und Spielstärke der Schule werden sie in Ligen aufgeteilt. Da meine Schule mit knapp 2.000 Schülerinnen und Schülern zu den größten im Bundestaat Ohio gehört, spielen alle Schulmannschaften in den jeweiligen Junioren-Bundesligen.
Seit einigen Wochen hat die Frühlingssaison started. During the next three months, I will compete for the athletics team of my high school. I try my homework every day as much as possible in school to complete, as soon after school begins training in the stadium and I am only home in the evening. Two and a half hours of training every day from Monday to Saturday. The regular Tuesday and Saturday competitions against other schools, which can sometimes take up to six hours.
All this is possible only because of the popular and professional sports by the government not only promoted but is fully funded. There is no club system as in Germany, in this form in the United States. But I see above all the benefits of school sports: Even children and young people who are financially disadvantaged have to provide the opportunity to expand their skills and talents. In addition, the social behavior of students is strengthened extreme. The school spirit, cheering on the teams, contributes not only to a better coexistence within the school community, but not least also leads to victory.
All in all, it should no longer seem surprising that the United States in international competitions like the Olympic Games in the medal rankings every time a front seat are included.
Sport unites people beyond all boundaries. "The ball and the game is about 90 minutes. "This applies anywhere in the world ...
