Ⅱ.任务型阅读
Team sports do kids much good.Sometimes parents pay no attention to these sports because they want their kids to shine in individual sports.
There are leaders and there are followers.There is nothing wrong with being a follower but it's often emphasized that we should be leaders.Some kids have natural leadership abilities and other times they get leadership because of their physical abilities.In team sports,it is important for each player to know their position on the field.Some were not born to be leaders,those people are not often the stars on a team but the stars would not be there without the followers.Without that help,the leader wouldn't have been able to score or push forward.All of this is necessary to a team and great for kids to learn early.
High grades came with sports abilities.If kids don't complete school work in time,their parents wouldn't let them go to practice.This teaches responsibility.Kids learn what the standards are and know it is their responsibility to reach those standards.Also,knowing the schedule and being on time is good practice for college and career.It helps develop a sense of what is to come and it grows the confidence in the student/athlete.
Team sports can build the confidence needed to avoid bad images.It keeps kids healthy and it also promotes healthy eating habits and lifestyle.When I was playing team sports,I knew that I should not eat junk food and all of my teammates would point it out to me if I ate around them.It was not a bad pressure but a good one.It made me want to better myself for the team.
All of these are an important part of team sports.The friendships made in activities really help with confidence and “fitting in”,healthy lifestyles are often started in sports with the desire to get better,and confidence is sure to grow in a good team environment.
