Do you have a secure future? If you don't have a grade higher than a “C” does that means that you won't be able to succeed in life if your athlete career doesn't work out? This is the time for athletes to finally realize that they might not make a dime being a professional athlete and need to have an extra plan to make a living. If you do not get good grades and you are on an athletic team then you should think to the future and other careers that can help you succeed in life. Now is the time you can discuss this with other people and find their point and views on the subject.
One reason for having a "C' or higher while on an athletic team is being able to have a secure future. If you do not succeed in the athletic world then you need to have other options to lean on. Now is the time to realize that a professional athlete probably won't make a dime but with a good college education they can have a second option. Athletes need to support themselves and their family after they are no longer bale to play sports. A good backup plan is being a coach, coaches can teach a sport even if they are not physically able to do it themselves.
Balance is key. Being able to divide time between work and play can help people have better lives. If athletes can't get a "C" or better and be on an athletic team in high school then how will they achieve that in the real world? Athletes should be able to know when there is time to play and know when there is a time to do homework and study. This skill will help athletes life after there athletic career. If you are an athlete you should seriously consider trying harder to organize your time and being able to balance your life. Balancing your life can also teach you good study habits and get you into a good consistent routine. Athletes remember student and athletes and synonyms.
Getting a scholarship is a good thing but can you get good grades to keep that scholarship? If you get sports scholarship that is a great thing but you also have to have study habits and distinguish between work and play. Most colleges require a 3.0 or higher to have a scholarship. If the athlete achieves this goal they can graduate college and have a backup plan for the future. Scholarships are a good but you must also think to the future while you are on that scholarship.
Now that you have read this article are for having a "C" or higher in order to play on sport teams? My opinion is this topic is yes they should have an average grade in order to play on sports teams. A few reasons why I think this is having a secure future, being able to balance priorities, and establishing good study habits. Take this matter seriously when you are thinking about your future. Life is not fun and games.

Something wrong here. This just needs revision, I think.

Yeah, I know what you're trying to say, and I think its clever, don't get me wrong, but this also needs revision.

I know this probably isn't something I'm supposed to review, but I thought I would anyway.
I do understand what you are getting at, and yes, I am inclined to agree with you about it all. I mean, you have to be seriously SERIOUSLY good to get into any sort of sports team that pays well. And the thing to remember if you are in that situation is that there is always someone who will be better than you. Even, in my opinion, if you are currently world champion or whatever. But enough about what I think. I'm here to comment on your writing.

You write in quite a forcing, motivational sort of way. I know different writers obviously write differently, and you are no exception. You write to convince your audience, which is great, and this is evident by how confident you write. Anyway, that's about all I can contribute, so good work and keep it up.

EDIT: But another thing, by the way, about the whole thing about needing a C or better, well that's not necessarily true. Just remember about trades, good grades aren't always necessary in those fields, which I think is great.

I couldn't really see much of any big flaws around this piece, and the little things were poked at by Khe. I definetely see the point, and it's very clear and understandable. I like it very much, and I'm sure that a lot of people can enjoy it easily.

I'd write more, but in the past 24 hours, I've done about eight or nine reviews. I'm fresh out of critique!

Have a lucky day.
