Why do players play?
by Keith Hardy (Chairman) on Nov.30, 2015, under News
According to the University of Notre Dame’s Centre for Ethical Education, research shows: –
” that kids play sports for the following reasons:
· To have fun (always #1)
· To do something I am good at
· To improve my skills
· To get exercise and stay in shape
· To be part of a team
· The excitement of competition
They do not play to win. They like to win, they enjoy competing, but they do not play to win. They play to have fun, to be with their friends, to feel good about themselves, and because it is exciting. Yet how often do we pick and choose our childs’ sports team because it is the winning team, the winning coach, the defending champion, and assume that because of all the wins everything else just happens? We look at wins and losses and fail to search for happy faces and proper developmental environments.”
