OVERVIEW ABOUT TEAM SPORTS
A team sport includes any sport where individuals
are organized into opposing teams which compete
to win. Team members act together towards a
shared objective. This can be done in a number of
ways such as outscoring the opposing team. Team
members set goals, make decisions,
communicate, manage conflict, and solve
problems in a supportive, trusting atmosphere in
order to accomplish their objectives.
Team Sport includes any sports or activity in
which a group of individuals, on the same team,
work together to accomplish an ultimate goal
which is usually to win.
Team comprises a group of people linked in a
common purpose. Teams have members with
complementary skills and generate synergy
through a coordinated effort which allows each
member to maximize his/her strengths and
minimize his/her weaknesses, thus generating
performance of its individual members.
Benefits of Sports for Adolescents
Organized, well-structured youth sports and
on-going physical activities can provide
many benefits for children and adolescents.
Positive experiences that sports and an
active lifestyle bring play an important role
in a young person’s life.
Many athletes do better 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.
Sports teach teamwork and problem-solving skills
Fighting
for a common goal with a group of
players and coaches teaches you how to
build teamwork and effectively
communicate to solve problems. This
experience is helpful when encountering
problems at work or at home.
Physical health benefits of 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.
Sports boost self-esteem
Watching your hard work pay off and
achieving your goals develops self-
confidence. Achieving a sport or fitness
goal encourages you to achieve other goals
you set. This is a rewarding and exciting
learning process.
Reduce pressure and stress with sports
Exercising
is a natural way to loosen up and
let go of stress. You can also make new
friends who can be there for you as a
support system. When you feel under
pressure or stressed, call up a teammate,
head to the gym to talk and play it out.
