"it is a great school but it has a lot of potential some of ..."

Things have changed lots since Brandon Starc left school, but the champion high jumper says he owes plenty to Hills Sports High. Glenn Cullen reports.

Brandon Starc has loads of memories from his time at Hills Sports High School, but the spacious indoor gym isn’t one of them.

“This wasn’t here,” Australia’s premier high jumper, Commonwealth Games gold medallist and Olympic finalist said recently when surveying the superb facility.

“It would have been amazing. I could have done a lot in here; it’s big enough to do all kinds of drills when it’s raining.”

Not that Starc missed out on much, given he was already well and truly earmarked as an international athletics star of the future by the time he graduated the school in 2011.

“This school basically kept me on the path of athletics because of all the training and the opportunities I had,” said Starc, on hand at Hills for the state’s sports high schools’ signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the NSW Institute of Sport to help facilitate pathways for talented athletes.

“I owe quite a bit of my success to this school.”

Starc now has a permanent place on the wall of the gym, along with the likes of Matildas star Kyah Simon and Kangaroos rugby league players Wade Graham and Reagan Campbell-Gillard.

“It’s just awesome to see what they’ve got and the opportunities for everyone across so many sports,” Starc said of the school.

Initially a jumper across the range of field disciplines, Starc narrowed his focus to the high jump when he was 15.

The school’s athletics coach, Nicole Gadow, saw his potential and recommended him to an external coach, Alex Stewart.

After getting pipped for gold on a countback at the last Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, Starc took some time out with heel and plantar fascia issues.

"Great school awesome place"

Business: On the example of Endeavour School, this post compares complicated relationships between sports and secondary education in Australia and the USA.

4worldlovers:
Do you know the most baffling thing for international students entering the US educational system? No, not the grading, electives, or lack of uniforms, but our obsession with school sports. “What’s wrong with that?” you might wonder, “Schools should be holistic, keep children active as well as educated.” And here is where I’m with you 100%. School kids benefit from sports exercises and also get valuable lessons in perseverance, team spirit, and sportsmanship.


Yet our approach is far from the balanced ideal of the Renaissance person – an eloquent essay writer, a brilliant mathematician, an inspired artist, and a capable athlete. Our problem is that we prioritize the latter over everything else. Exaggeration? Let’s see.


As I already pointed out, sport is indeed an essential part of secondary education – and this truth is universal. Schoolchildren around the world are encouraged to play sports as club activity after school or on weekends. Alternatively, they just enjoy pickup games in the fields and alleys as a part of afterschool fun. Yet, in the USA, sports seem central to our educational mission. At least, that’s the impression one gets if one looks at some of the more obvious flaws of our system.

Too often, sport is so entrenched into school life that people don’t realize the actual costs. Apart from coaching stipends to teachers or even full salaries for professional coaches, there are athletic supplies, insurance, maintaining the turf, etc. On top of that, the whole logistics for game days: bus drivers, meals, and hotels – for the team, the band, and the cheerleaders. For home games, there are still costs of hiring referees, providing security, preparing the field, and cleaning up afterward. And contrary to widespread belief, ticket and concession sales aren’t nearly enough to compensate for all this. It varies from community to community, but schools spend two to four times more on an average athlete than on an average math student – even in districts that are supposed to prioritize math!

Although many proponents of the current system insist that sport attracts kids who would otherwise forgo school and keeps them out of trouble, this is only true for a small percentage of students. However, others experience adverse effects of this approach. On top of hogging the ever-shrinking funds away from arts, humanities, and STEM, prioritizing sports harms academic achievement in less obvious ways. Often schools lower academic standards when hiring teachers only to be able to get a coach as well. The school calendar revolves around sporting events shifting focus from academics. This had found its hard evidence about a decade ago, when the superintendent brought to rescue one rural school district in Texas banned sports and almost doubled the number of students who passed their classes the very first semester.

The most notorious cases of prioritizing the glamor of athletic victories over academic achievements include underage steroid use scandals, college students masquerading as school kids to join school teams, and parents plotting the murder of their child’s rivals. That, of course, are extreme cases. However, there are smaller things that are as common as dirt. For example, improper grade changes. Many schools have a “no pass, no play” policy. It is supposed to motivate athletes. If they fail, they cannot compete, so to keep their spot on the team, they must hit the books or seek some arrangement with the teacher, like suggesting, “If I revise my essay or write another piece instead of the failed one, can it be a pass?” Yet too often, the grade improves magically just because coaches and administration preoccupied with the misunderstood “prestige” harass the teacher into rigging the grade.

Let’s admit it, the school day starts way too early. Teenagers in middle and high school are most prone to be “night owls” as opposed to younger kids and adults. Study after study shows that starting school day later improves academic achievement and mental well-being. Yet we keep demanding that our children woke up in what feels to them like an ungodly hour to be in class by 8 o’clock. Why? The primary reason is to make more space for sports practice. As a result, everyone suffers, so the school team could use more remaining daylight hours to the maximum. This doesn’t seem neither fair nor efficient.

All in all, I’d say we should revise our priorities here. Instead of seeing any limitations put on school sports as a sacrilege, why not do it the healthy way?

At Brazilian Soccer Schools we are all about the joy of the game. We do not count the goals scored. Our mission is an individual, comprehensive technical training of players. We cultivate the principles of fair play, teamwork and respect for opponents. We develop mental maturity, essential for manifesting football IQ. Playing the Brazilian version of futsal (Futebol de Salão) was how most Canarinhos began their adventure with football. A BSS player who has completed all training stages enjoys the game, displays technical skills on various levels of football craftsmanship, is able to make informed and effective decisions on the field. They are mentally prepared for tackling complex, tactical problems and ready for competing in the next stages of their sports development.

A specially designed ball makes it possible to develop the most coveted football skills. It is heavier (456g), smaller (size 2), and as a result less bouncy than a regular football (10% bounce rate). Together with a smaller playing area it contributes to enhanced technical development of our players.

At our soccer schools we teach brilliant ball control using Brazilian training methods. We promote creative passing, unconventional movement on the pitch, and shielding the ball from constant pressure.

Football IQ is a combination of superior technique, respect for opponents and teamwork. These are the foundations of our players’ confidence. It is an excellent starting point for more advanced tactical training and beautiful team play.

At Brazilian Soccer Schools for kids we have developed more than 200 football skills and our players hone each and every one of them. Progress is rewarded with special badges recorded in the Skills Badge system. This is how our original method of teaching football has come to being.

At Brazilian Soccer Schools children train in smaller groups than in traditional football academies, which allows our coaches to devote more attention to individual aspects of training. This engagement lets them customize activities to match individual players’ level of skill.

We are of the opinion that the joy of the game is more important than the score. Lack of pressure to get immediate results creates an environment which lets players develop at their own pace and display their full potential.

Our soccer schools are a structured, international training program, rooted in the tradition of Brazilian futsal, Futebol de Salão. Similar training methods contributed to the success of such football stars as Pele, Ronaldo, Juninho or Neymar (or Brazilian football legends).

Brazilian Soccer Schools training methods are grounded on our understanding of individual phases of children’s motor development. Therefore, our players are not initially assigned a position, e.g. according to their physique, as it changes rapidly at their age. Instead coaches concentrate on comprehensive training of each of their players.

4worldlovers: We are a co-ed community High School delivering excellent education & a Talented Sports Program dedicated to developing student-athletes.

Students and parents are encouraged to use Compass daily to access lesson plans, engage with online material and stay up-to-date on all school news.
