Sports, what is it?
Sport is a specific kind of physical or
intellectual activity performed for the
purpose of competition, as well as
purposeful preparation for them by
warming up, training.
M a n y a t h l e t e s d o b e tt e r
academically
Playing a sport requires a lot of time and energy. Some people may
think this would distract student-athletes from schoolwork. However,
the opposite is true. Sports require memorization, repetition and
learning — skillsets that are directly relevant to class work. Also, the
determination and goal-setting skills a sport requires can be transferred
to the classroom.
 S po r t s teach teamwork and
problem-solving skills

Fighting for a c o m m o n goal with a group of players

and coaches teaches you h o w to build teamwork
and effectively communicate to solve problems. This
experience is helpful wh en encountering problems at
work or at home.
 P h y s i c a l h e a l t h b e n e fi t s o f
sports
Clearly, sports can help you reach your fitness
goals and maintain a healthy weight. However,
they also encourage healthy decision-making such
as not smoking and not drinking. Sports also have
hidden health benefits such as lowering the
chance of osteoporosis or breast cancer later in
life.
 S p o r t s b o o s t self-e s t e e m

Watching your hard work pay off

a n d achieving your goals develops
self-confidence. Achieving a sport
or fitness goal encourages you to
achieve other goals you set. This is a
rewarding a nd exciting learning
process.
Reduce pressure and st re s s with
sports
Exercising is a natural way to loosen u p a n d let go of
stress. You can also m a k e n e w friends w h o can be there
for you as a support system. W h e n you feel under
pressure or stressed, call u p a teammate, head to the
g y m to talk a n d play it out.
 S p o r t s improve brain
a c ti v i t y
Physical activity leads to an intense rush of blood to
the brain cells, i.e. there is an active supply of
oxygen and nutrients to it, as a result of wh ich the
development of neural processes accelerates.
 F o r m a ti o n o f d i s c i p l i n e
Discipline is important in all
matters, because its observance
allows you to achieve success.
This concept is also associated
with willpower, w h i c h is
essentially the same thing. Habits
are not only harmful, but also
useful, and it takes time to form
them. If you exercise on a regular
basis, it will b ec om e a habit.
Conclusion
A n d so, the m a i n benefit of sports is to preserve your
o w n health, but there is another positive nuance. By
demonstrating the right way of life, you b e c o m e a
good example for your children and loved ones w h o
can follow you.
