Participation:
Age appropriate sports participation in organized sports offers the chance for youth to enhance their physical and social skills. Sports offers youth a change from the monotony of their daily life. It is also a useful means of entertainment and physical activity.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports children who play sports are less likely to use drugs and smoke. Female athletes might also be less likely to become pregnant in high school.
Socialization
Sports is a great way of socializing. How many times do we hear our grandparents and parent tell us story about friends and incidents relating to sports? The answer- most of the time. For children, playing sports can help develop friendships centered on healthy, safe and enjoyable activities. It’s true for adults too. Adults who play sports also have the opportunity to develop friendships centered on an active lifestyle. Team practice and competitions provide socializing options that are healthier and more active compared with regular sessions of other more sedentary activities like drinking and lazing around. Sports can particularly benefit low-income individuals, who might not have the money or resources to socialize outside of playing sports, according to Child Fund International.
Values
Playing sports can help teach honesty, teamwork and fair play. Learning to follow rules and respecting teammates and opponents can also be useful. Experiencing the role of a graceful winner and loser teaches people about being humble, and competition in general can teach individuals about self-respect, confidence and managing stress. Taking on leading roles within your team can also teach leadership.
Health and Career
It is true that a person involved in the sports activities get more strength than the normal person without any physical exercise. A person interested in the sports can develop great body strength. They can even forge a career out of it. Sports are necessary because it brings physical and mental fitness.
So keep your books close but sports closer. Go out and get your heart pumping and reap the benefits of a healthy heart and mind.
