In the first article that is addressed by Deborah et al, it talk about the difficulties that students undergo, especially the ones who are faced with the challenge of coping up with the academic and athletic lives in their schools. There are various challenges that face these children, especially being stereotyped by their teachers and even coaches. There are various reasons and circumstances that make people to be stereotyped (Frank, 2007).
Stereotyping is the act of generalizing the various lives of people based on one’s understanding and also reasoning. It’s the act of presuming the general lives of people based on a small group, which in most cases tends to be wrong (Frank, 2007).Students, especially the ones who are actively involved in active sports and athletics are usually duped as dumps brains and that they seldom understand anything in their classes. There are various aspects that try to define these students.
Majority of these students are not always as stupid as their game masters try to name them. They are usually good students who can do better given the chance to show their academic strength. Majority of their coaches usually have the problem with the students because they usually have negative attitudes towards them. These coaches though tend to have stereotypes that these students join schools because of the benefits they usually attain form these schools. They assume that the attendance of these students is usually attributed to their desire to gain benefits from the schools.
