Book Description

0819194891 978-0819194893 April 26, 1994
This book articulates the important benefits of school sports and other co-curricular activities which empower youth and dissuade them from gang involvements and deviant behavior. It also describes how these voluntary programs motivate students to stay in school, earn better grades, reinforce the ideals of our Constitution more than any other single type of activity, and prepare youth in cooperative skills so greatly called for by employers today.

The author has provided a great service in compiling information regarding the positive impact of co-curricular programs. The lack of alternative programs for youth has created a crisis which this book clearly defines. Jeziorski takes the initiative inaddressing this crisis.>>> (Betty Hennessy )

This book is a scholarly and extremely well-written monograph that can supply the athletic administrator and/or activities director with an abundance of research, expert opinion and convincing agruments for the support of athletics and activities in our secondary schools. ...invaluable for athletic administrator and/or activity director wishing to utilize a very positive approach in interpreting the values of our programs for other administrators and boards of education.>>> (Betty Hennessy Interscholastic Athletic Administration )

...an interesting book to read and one that reassured me that our own education system is not unique in terms of its problems!>>>> (Huw Davies )
