SAC Meet Schedule - [] SAC General Information - []

So, I'm planning on asking one survey question to the girls' swim team. I decided not to include it on my list of video interview questions because its personal, and I wouldn't want to embarrass anyone or ask them to share information they're not comfortable providing. The question is "Do you get good grades? What would you characterize as 'good grades?' (i.e. A's and B's or C's, etc)" Obviously, this survey will remain anonymous.

Video Questions:

Thesis: Participating in athletics as an adolescent has a positive influence socially and academically, and also acts as a deterrent against negative influences.

Do you participate in one or more sports? If yes, which sports? How long have you been participating, and how much time do you dedicate to the sport?

Do you benefit from being in a team environment? How so? Would you characterize your sports team as a supportive environment? Do you think that support translates to your social life?

Do you spend time with your team outside of sporting events?

Do you feel you have gained confidence or self-esteem as a result of participating in sports?

Do you think that participating in athletics has helped to develop academic skills?

Have you learned any skills from playing sports that have been useful in your life outside of athletics? (i.e. time management, handling disappointment)

Do you feel you have an advantage over your peers who have not engaged in athletics? Explain.
