Health is the reason for exercise, not sports --- sure. But a great side-effect of sports is exercise. Exercise improves cardiovascular fitness and controls your weight. More importantly --- being active in sports can help you look good! Athletic activity:
- Reduces body fat, strengthens bones, and builds muscle
- Improves coordination, balance, flexibility and endurance
- Slows the aging process
- Reduces the risks of injury, and helps you recover faster
It also establishes a healthy pattern of lifetime physical activity, and makes your friends jealous.
Get smart!Healthy body, healthy mind. Improving in sports translates directly to improving in school. Sports can help you...
- Increase concentration and develop problem-solving skills
- Learn how to set and attain goals
- Gain "Training Transfer", skills that start showing up in school or on the job
- Improve self-esteem through success (and failure!)
- Learn time-management skills
Students who play sports work harder in the classroom. A study of 2,308 student athletes in grades 7-12 found that 56 percent received As, 45 percent received Bs and Cs, and the rest aren't worth mentioning here.
Get social!Sports can help you learn social interaction, as well as give you a chance to exercise leadership. In competition, you quickly learn what your teammates --- and you --- are made of. You rely on your teammates and opponents to make you stronger, and pretty soon, you have a new set of friends.
Get relaxed!Playing sports releases stress and tension. Sports competitions teach you to feel relaxed in high-pressure situations. Athletics also helps you fight depression and anxiety --- endorphins are our friends!
