This research explores whether shoe companies should be allowed to give away free shoes and equipment to high school athletes. By analyzing the implications of such practices on athletes' performance, integrity in sports, and ethics in marketing, we will gather data through surveys, interviews, and observations. The study aims to evaluate the potential impacts on the athletes' well-being and competition standards, contributing valuable insights into the intersection of sports sponsorship and youth athletics.
