1. My proposed research topic involves the development of the whole child thru sports and recreation. I believe that sports plays a in major role in children being effective in school as well as life. I am a living example of how sports saved me and many of my friends. Growing up in a rural area doesn’t give a person a level playing field when it comes to opportunities to develop. The programs that school and communities offer help to bridge the gap. I will research and develop the following topic: How to use sports as a significant tool for the overall development of children in school?
