Papal beginnings
What would be more fitting than starting a Catholic sports blog off with a quote from Pope John Paul II about well sports.
"...sport has in itself an important
moral and educative significance:
it is a training ground of virtue, a
school of inner balance and outer
control, an introduction To more
true and lasting conquests."
He stated this in A Catholic Perspective: Physical Exercise and Sports in 1979
The Holy JPII even noticed the importance of athletics and sports in the development of people. I do believe all high schools especially Catholic high schools need to show a greater emphasis in their development of both their PE and sports programs so the students get a well rounded high school experience. All students should graduate with a great appreciation of academics and the knowledge of how to live their entire lives spiritually and physically fit.
This is the time for schools to emphasize both due to the current times in which we are living. Let me know what you think.
