A skill that you learn through competitive sports which can also be used in classes or beyond is “Perseverance”. Everyone wants to win, but to achieve a goal, you have to work hard since competition is about wanting to win, working to win, and preparing to win. You only succeed after failing many times. If you give up, then you will never be able to achieve what you planned. As you play sports, there will be also many times that you lose but you shouldn’t despair because that will often happen. It’s only that way that you will learn perseverance and how you shouldn’t ever give up no matter what happens. That is an important skill kids are able to learn as they spend time with their team. Each and every team member would work as hard as possible during every one of their practices.
