How Can Sports Empower Kids to Succeed On and Off the Field?

Sports teach kids valuable life skills such as teamwork, social interactions, self-esteem, confidence, and leadership. Being on a sports team provides an ideal environment for interacting with peers, making new friends, and learning about teamwork, cooperation, and communication skills. Every score, every run, and every game played to the end contributes to building a child's self-esteem and confidence. The competitive nature of sports provide a safe environment for children to learn about healthy competition. They learn to handle winning and losing gracefully, cope with pressure, and understand that effort is as important as the outcome.
