Day 328: More Than A Game

Daily Blog Challenge Day 328/365

I always say that athletics helped prepare me for life and I see the benefit of them outside of wins and losses.  Sports can teach us many lessons if they are organized the correct way.  We do not teach people anything if we allow athletes to get away with poor choices, we elevate the status of athletes, we allow talent to overshadow hard work or we allow the heat of the moment to impact our behavior.

Why do we play sports?

Sports can help us stay in shape.  Sports can teach us how to interact with other people.  Sports can teach us how to control our emotions.  Sports can do many things to benefit our lives.

Sports can do these things, but they will only do this if coaches and parents hold athletes to high standards.

Thank you for reading.
