Many of these clinics involve young athletes from different schools, different neighborhoods, and sometimes from different backgrounds, thus cutting across the diversity of the sports sector. Therefore, participants not only develop knowledge about sports, but also respect, empathy, and ways of cooperation.

For most of these cases, the clinics also result in establishing long-standing friendships between the student leaders and the young athletes. Some of these relationships remain close and long-term, and many older students can often be seen helping the younger students. This is always a blessing to the sporting activities since it fosters the strengthening of the community that is always keeping on supporting the growth of sports.

The Impact of Student-Led Sports Clinic:

A glance at the outcomes of student-led sports clinics indicate that the future is bright for youths’ sports. This signifies that the success that these youthful athletes will spearhead these initiatives to affect the next generation. It is not only these clinics that are offering opportunities for the growing and molding of these skilled athletes, but also the personalities who are being developed are responsible and empathetic citizens who appreciate and are willing to contribute to society.

It is for this reason that schools, sports organizations, and the communities vulnerable to suffering from the impacts of the deterioration of the sports culture must support these initiatives from students as an investment in the future of sports. They can use their resource to give aid and recognition as well as encouragement to support and continue these programs to help as many young athletes as possible to be mentored and inspired by their seniors.
