How Do Sports Impact Our Youth?
Top 4 Reasons Youth Need Sports
- Improved Physical Health- build a foundation of good exercise habits for the future.
- Athletes Accelerate in Academics- being involved in sports can not only help cognitive performance but also lead to improved academic functioning.
- Mental Health Benefits- adolescents in sports, tend to understand themselves better and are best able to set limits and boundaries, when considering children’s overall social and emotional experience.
- Nothing worthwhile in life comes easily- Learning to work hard in sports and tolerate the natural ups and downs of athletics, can support the development grit.
