During the last couple of years, the technology has developed so much, that almost every person’s everyday life is connected to computers somehow. Many young people prefer to stay home and play video games, instead of going out and doing some physical activity. People from all ages spend hours surfing the internet, because they have some free time after a busy day at work.
Have you ever thought about the advantages that sports can offer you? I have been playing basketball for more than nine years now, and I would say that sports have such an influence on the people who practice them, that one day they become part of you. Let’s get back to the question, why should we do it?
Well, the first reason is to have a healthy body. Isn’t that the dream of almost every person, to be in a good shape? You can achieve it easily by simply running for no more than 20 minutes a few times per week. The other benefit is that you can learn how to be a team player. It doesn’t mean that you will simply know how to pass the ball. You will be able to understand that there are other people as well, and in order to achieve something you will need to work with them. This can help you in your work environment as well.
When we are talking about team sports, the other plus is that you will learn how to accept criticism. This will make you patient and more open to other people’s opinion And last but not least, you will learn to respect the others. You can apply all the benefits of sports into your everyday life and make it much easier.
The only thing that is required from you is the will to start. You can think of sports like they are part of your job, but instead of money you get health, which I believe is worth much much more!
