people Family Children tend to follow the activities that their parent did or support the same team. E.g. Dad played rugby so I do. Peers People tend to be happier or more likely to participate if their friends also participate. E.g. I wanted to go to badminton at lunch but none of my friends wanted to go.
People CONTINUED Role Models: People like David Beckham, Usain Bolt all inspire others to take part in their chosen sport. They also carry the responsibilities such as not getting involved in drugs etc

Some sports are more fashionable than others. e.g. Snowboarding, Football, Basketball and Surfing are seen as more ‘modern’ and ‘cool’. Other sports such as bowls, ballroom dancing, curling, power walking are not as fashionable with young people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o07NgvLDA6k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PrR4PjDF8M
