"Sport has the power to change the world...
to
unite people in a way that little else does."

Participation in sports can have a huge positive impact on a child's self-esteem and confidence. Children who participate in sports get praise and encouragement from coaches and parents, which helps to build self-confidence.
They also learn to trust in their own abilities and push themselves.

It is no surprise that children who participate in athletics excel in academics as well. They can apply the same principles of dedication and hard work learned through sports participation to their studies.  According to an article published on the website America, playing on a high school sports team increases a young woman's chances of graduating from college by 41%.

It’s not all about winning, it is all about the kids

In sport and exercise psychology, we learn that sport is not just about winning. It’s about the the process, the value of hard work, respect and values and so much more. But in sport, we learn to lose graciously. 
Learning to fail, ​as well as win, teaches us important coping mechanisms for later in life. 
We are also taught valuable lessons about leadership; what makes someone a good leader,
​what can we learn from them, how would we do things differently.

"If you fail you're still going to get pizza and ice cream, and
​your parents are still going to tell you 
they love you."
