A Bad Sports Experience Some kids don’t like sports, because they tried it and kids made fun of them for making a simple mistake. But everybody makes mistakes and nobody should tease you for it. Sports also have a monstrous impact on kids personality. Kids will have fun doing sports without even knowing that they are being active. Some kids come home with their heads down, but knowing that they have sport activity after school they will be happy. Kids will also learn about good sportsmanship and how to work together with teammates.
What Is The Big Deal Some kids just say what is the big deal about sports. Well when your active you are happy. It works all the time. When you are happy you don’t bug people. When people are happy, everybody is happy. Don’t you see what being active can do? Well thanks for listening and I hope you know what to do now. Go tell your friends to get active!
