“Participating in sports is important to me for many reasons. It gives me the opportunity to meet new people and build strong relationships with my teammates and friends who also participate in sports. Playing team sports helps me develop skills to work as a team. Playing multiple sports keeps me healthy because I exercise many times a week, all year long. It gives me the opportunity to travel to places I may not have gotten to go to with my family. Participating in sports is a fun way to spend my time. Sports also creates more opportunities for me as I could get a sports scholarship for college.”
