It is undeniable that going in for sports
provides benefits for our physical
condition But it also helps us socialise
and learn values while playing and
interacting with others
Team sports foster values such as
cooperation, tolerance and solidarity
Each player makes contributions to the
performance of the group, while leaving
aside individual interests Moreover,
tolerance for dissent is necessary for
team building since, sometimes, there are
opposite ideas within a group But it is
this diversity of opinion that strengthens
relations between the members And it
also promotes mutual respect
Regarding individual sports, they help to
foster values, as well Training involves
responsibility and perseverance If
sportspeople want to achieve a goal
in their discipline, they must work hard and give it careful consideration
Regardless of the result, it is essential that participants make the most of every experience and learn from their great skills as well as their mistakes In this way, they adopt a positive attitude and enjoy what they do Besides, when playing a sport, people make a pact, either informal or official What really matters is that they do not deviate from the established norms and play honestly
These values in sports determine our behaviour For this reason, the physical activities in which we engage will help
us deal with many situations in different aspects of our lives So, the sooner we start the better
