Throughout high school (and for some, even in college), sports, and other activities, such as drama or the band, have huge influences on the behavior and characteristics of their players. Being involved expands communication skills, develops time management skills, creates passion, and ensures friendships and memories that last a lifetime. In the future, these experiences can make them better, more well-rounded people who have certain skill sets that are valuable to everyday life.

Sports, for instance, introduce teamwork. Without teamwork, you can’t succeed. It’s a valuable skill not only for excelling in that particular sport or activity, but also for succeeding in life. You have to learn to get along with different people and different skill sets so that you can get a beneficial outcome.

While working at your activity and meeting new people, you can make the best of friends, and life-long memories that you would never have expected to make. You can experience new things with great people, but without being involved, you wouldn’t have the opportunity.

Being on any sort of team also causes a desire to do better and a love for that specific sport or activity. You practice and practice to perfect a role, whether it be on the court or on the stage. Learning to work hard and being humble when you don’t always win is one of the best things anyone can learn. It makes the reward that much sweeter when you actually earn it. People also develop strong time management skills if they are involved in school activities.

They have to be able to find the time for school work and studying amidst the hours of practice and days of the events. In order to continue doing the thing they love, they must keep their grades up. I believe that this pushes people to try harder when it comes to academics, which is very beneficial in the long run.

Sports and any other school activity have lasting impressions on teenagers in high school and in college. Of course, these things are usually done for fun but a lot of people underestimate the effect they really have. Having the ability to work with people completely different from you can get you a long way in life, and the use of time management is always a valuable skill.

The yearning to do better for the sport, play, or instrument causes a deep passion, in my belief. It causes people to work harder to achieve their goal. There are many instances of this, but I think that sports are one of the prime examples.

Overall, being involved in school is better for anyone’s well-being and future.
