How to Stay Active: Why Should I Try a New Sport?

Updated: Sep 22, 2020

Sports are great if you want to stay active and have fun! Whether you're on a team or on your own, there are many reasons why you should try a new sport. Below are just a few of them.


Firstly, sports can make you healthier. They help you stay active, which can lead to a longer, better life.


Sports can also make you smarter. When you're playing basketball, skiing, or even swimming, you have to think and use your brain.


Sports are important from a social aspect as well. Whether you're high-fiving your teammates over a win or talking with an opponent, you get to interact with many different people. This includes learning good sportsmanship, which is a useful life skill.


Lastly, sports are just fun. They aren't meant to be a chore or odious task, but for entertainment and physical health. If you try a sport and don't like it, don't give up. Try a different one! When you find one you like, stick with it and enjoy it! It's fun to win, but losing is also important. It just matters that you have a good time.
