Benefits of Team Sports

Team sports offer many benefits to the athletes that participate.  Exercise in general is a huge health necessity, but there are mental and social benefits even beyond the physical.  

BENEFITS OF TEAM SPORTS- TEAMWORK

Participating in team sports is a great way to learn to work with others towards a common goal.  Learning how to communicate effectively is essential to succeeding as a team, so this is a skill that develops as you foster a team relationship.  
For many kids, especially those with no siblings, this is their first experience with depending on others, and also being accountable for their own actions and work ethic. The entire point of a team sport is that your performance is the sum of many, and not just yourself.  
Participating in a team sport can push kids to work harder, practice longer, and hopefully perform better to help their team.  The expectations of a team of peers or of a coach can positively motivate a child to excel.​

Benefits of Team Sports - Pressure Response

For many team sports, there is not a lot of time to react to situations during a game.  Playing on a team sport can help you develop skills that will allow you to reach better under pressure or in stressful situations.  
The way that you react in high stress gametime situations can translate to making quick or tough decisions in real life.  Performing while under pressure is a skill that can be invaluable, both in sports and in life. 

Benefits of Team Sports - Sportsmanship

One of the greatest benefits that you can gain from team sports is good sportsmanship.  Even on the best of teams, there will inevitably be a time when your team is losing badly, or even winning badly.  

The way that you present yourself during these instances says a lot about who you are as a person, and who you are as a team.  Having a respectful attitude when you are losing, and having a compassionate and non-boastful attitude when you are winning can make a big difference in how yourself and your team are viewed.

Losing is never easy, but holding your heads up high and not giving up can teach you valuable lessons about life.  When faced with adversity or frustration, the ability to keep pushing forward with a good attitude can help you when similar situations occur in life or in your workplace. On the other end of the spectrum, if your team is running away with a game, not bragging or talking down to others shows a strength of character that will help you succeed in life and maintain good relationships.
