Adults who played team sports as children show better leadership skills, have higher success rates and tend to live by morals. Due to the fact that children are easier to teach, they learn more from team sports. In a recent survey, every participant claimed that if they played a team sport it had enriched their lives somehow. Coaches act as role models and in rare cases parent for the children that do not have any. Many of our nation’s leaders and popular role models played team sports as a child.
