I chose the article "The Health Benefits of Youth Contact Sports Outweigh the Risks"
and will use the title as my thesis. Evidence that I can use to support my thesis
include my own personal experience as a mother of an athlete. My son loves football
and has been playing since the age of 12. I wasn't a fan of it in the beginning but
didn't want to stop him from doing what he loves. I've learned with the right training
and equipment he can remain safe. I go to all the meetings the coach has and learn
more and more. Knowing what equipment they use and how they are being trained
gives me a peace of mind. Giving my son vitamins and healthy meals also helps in
training. I know this is what he wants to do and I am with him every step of the way.
As any other sport, I know he can get injured but I'm not afraid. With new technology
I believe equipment will get better and better every year.
