Do Sport Benefit you

later on in Life?
Builds Commitment

u  In sports there is a lot of sacrifices you have to make

because you are committed to the team and you don’t
want to let your teammates down by not being
consistent.

This will help

you later on in life to be committed to a job or a dream
you are pursuing in. Over the break I asked relatives that
played sports when they were younger if sports helped
them in life to stay committed to a job or something
there passionate about. They all thought it really helped
them later on in life.
Builds Respect

Sports show you how to respect one another in a

competition. It also helps build respect towards your peers
and older influences helping with your sport because they
are making sacrifices to be out there helping you in the
sport your passionate about. This will help you later when
you are talking to a boss at a potential job.
 Discipline
u  Sports form discipline in many ways like conditioning, sitting off to the
side for a little bit or even not participating in the sport. This will only
happen if you don’t listen to instructions or by not making grades.
This makes players try harder in school and learn to be more
disciplined in the classroom. Discipline helps later on in life when
using it in a work place.
Leadership

u  Sports help build leadership in different ways. Say if you were a

captain on a team you would have to be a leader to your
teammates and you would have too direct a team and make sure
the job gets done. This helps later on in life when you are working on
something in a group or at a job.
Cooperation
u  In sports you need cooperation to help you and your team succeed
in games and in the season. For example on a football field you and
your teammates have to cooperate to know what the play is and
what your objective will be. This plays a role later on in life when you
have to work with coworkers in a job.
Social Skills

In sports you build social skills by working with people you don’t
normally talk to on a daily bases. Also by working together to complete
a task. That brings you closer to your to the teammates that you don’t
normally talk too. This will help you later on in life when meeting new
people or in the work place.
