Sports building Character

                Do sports really build character? Is an article about the way sports can help people.  This article focuses on how sports can build character.  The main idea is that inform people that playing sports creates better character.  The view point of the author Michael Austin is that if you play sports you will have better character.  The author’s connotation allows me to figure out the main idea because it uses words like hope and positive ways to show that sports do build character.  The article talks about how when coaches teach the players about how things like sportsmanship and integrity can help in other things like school and jobs.  I do believe the source is accurate.  Although the article was published in 2010 I think that the information is accurate because it was printed on the psychology today website which is renowned for its information that people use around the world.  This leads me to believe that the website would not publish inaccurate information. The website also had links, good pictures, and it was.com which leads me to believe it is reliable.  The author does use bias like only using connotation that supports the articles view point but it allows for main idea. The article does not show conflicting evidence because there are no other studies that show sports don’t build better character.  I have also found many different studies on the same topic and they all come to the same conclusion that tells me that the article is accurate and it doesn’t just try to hide the conflicting evidence.
