Matt G on 19 Nov 10Ginsburg, Richard D., and Rich Lillash. "WINNING AT WHAT?." Independent School 66.4 (2007): 18-28. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 19 Nov. 2010. This article asks the question of how schools define "winning" with their student-athletes. Should it be a diverse person with all around success, or is it excellence in a singular sport? The truth is that people are now trying to focus on one sport in order to gain a scholarship. The problem with this is that it draws the student athlete away from other valued activities. The desire to specialize conflicts with many schools' core values.
