One reason is that the better your grades are the more easily you can receive a scholarship, it shows responsibility to your academics and you will be taken more seriously.another reason is that sports are a privilege not a right, so you can’t just expect to be involved with them you have to earn them just like anything else. Another reason is grades show so much character and shows how a person takes responsibility for one’s work and requirements and how they would positively and or negatively affect the team. In conclusion gpa/sports are equally important too school experiences and both will land you in a good college.
