High School Sports – Showcasing Sportsmanship and Community Service
There is no level of sports in our country as influential and life-changing as high school sports within our nation’s schools. No other level of sports – not youth, elite travel, college or professional – emphasizes sportsmanship and creates life-altering opportunities for making a difference in the lives of others to the magnitude of high school sports.
Yes, high school sports are about the Friday night football game, the rivalry basketball game in the middle of winter and the sun-drenched state baseball game as the year concludes. But the games on the field or court are only the beginning in high school sports – and we are not talking about the miniscule number of high school athletes involved in NIL deals.
No, we are talking about those high school teams and players that step up to the plate when adversity strikes their peers and others. Time and time again we have witnessed high school coaches and athletes turning the focus from themselves to helping others. And this year has been no different, especially in the South where two major hurricanes led to much tragedy and disaster. – Dr. Karissa Niehoff, NFHS Executive Director
