Sports as Teacher

I believe individuals learn through experience, guidance, and teaching, in my research project I want to show how involvement, such as an active participant or as a spectator, in an organized system like sports, help individuals gain life skills and an overall understanding of society and their role in it . Especially with the youth, I believe sports can be used to teach our youth values that will be essential to their growth in our society, such as leadership, teamwork/team-building, and  how to follow rules and/or respect authority.Those who are surrounded or engage in sports gain experience that I feel gives them confidence when facing our society because of their involvement in the organized system of sports. As if they already experienced what lies ahead or that they have a knowledge of it.
