INCREASING THE ADDITIONAL CREDIT POINTS FOR THE STUDENT ATHLETE

The importance of increasing credit points for student athletes lies in recognizing and valuing the effort and commitment they put into both their academic studies and their sporting activities. Student athletes often have demanding schedules that can make it difficult for them to meet the same credit requirements as their non-athlete peers. By allowing student athletes to earn additional credit points for their involvement in sports, we can support them to continue pursuing their athletic and academic goals.

One of the main problems student athletes face with their credit points is the struggle to balance their training sessions and games with their academic responsibilities. This imbalance can lead to student athletes falling behind in their studies and risking their academic progress and performance. Furthermore, the lack of recognition for the time and effort student athletes dedicate to their sports can be demotivating and unfair.

I proposed in the petition is to  increase credit points for student athletes based on their participation in sports activities. This could involve awarding extra credit points for achievements in sports competitions, training sessions, and leadership roles within their teams. By acknowledging and rewarding the hard work student athletes put into their sports, we can help them succeed academically and thrive both on and off the field.
