In this research article it explains how the youth gets influence by a combination of
things that the youth are influenced by while participating in youth sports. It gives them a variety
of traits that they can use. They are exposed to a combination of responsibly, good
sportsmanship. The youth were exposed with challenges that they have to figure out, and be
independent. By youth being in sports they will gain more confidence in themselves in being
better. Also it would give them sportsmanship, learning how to work with other people and work

In my last research article it describes about how the sports is playing a big role in the
youth lives. The study shows that the young people that were participating in youth sports were

more social and were able to gain confidence with their body. The more interesting fact is that
the kids being involved in sports are most likely to stay out of trouble. That means staying away
from the drinking, smoking, drugs use, underage and unprotected sexual activity. It basically
saying that they are too involved in sports to be able to focus on those kind of things. If the youth
are involved and occupied by playing in sports then they would be focused on getting better and
not worry about anything else. Another reason this article explains is that while they are active in
sports they maintain a good health and remain healthier. This article is important to the research
because it gives some great detailed facts about how the sports impact there youths lives.
