Why Sports Are Good For You

Why are sports good for you? Coming from a teenager who does three sports a year, I think they are just a fun way to stay active and make friendships. Sports are also good because when you are in high school  it's a way to keep your grades up and stay up with any academic things you have. School always comes first. Doing Sports is a way to try new things, learn the sport, get better at playing, and most of all just have fun. Sports help you create new relations and even have bonds with your coaches. Practice is always good when you show up every day, and putting the effort in your coaches will give you more playing time and see you getting better over time.

 A 9th grader, Matalina Diaz says, “I play soccer and it keeps me active in the spring and keeps my body toned. It's also just a blast having friends and making new friends each season.” Haley states that when she plays sports her body stays toned and she loves making friends when the upcoming season is on the way. Staying toned is a very healthy way to live life and you can do so many things with your life. It's always good to stay active and be healthy throughout your life. 

A 9th grader, Ariana Burgaraharo states, “As someone who only does one sport throughout the year I can say it's so amazing to play sports. Any opportunity you should play sports because it is so fun and you get to hang out and meet amazing new friends.” Ariana describes that she only does one sport but it's a sport that goes all year round so she's pretty active all the time. She also loves to hang out with her friends all the time. Having friends helps us have more confidence in ourselves and it's fun to be with your friends all the time. 

Doing sports no matter what it is gets you active, it's fun, and always good to make awesome friendships. School does come before sports though. Sports can also be a great way to show your skills and if you keep practicing that you can become really good and maybe get some good sport scholarships as well. If you don't do any sports and you want to don't be scared. Everyone starts somewhere, so get yourself in your athletic wear and show what you got!
