- Cooperation. Sport is a team effort, even in those cases where only one person competes. After the child who hits the ball or runs in a popular race, there is a team of people behind him. Understanding the need for cooperation between these entities is important.
- Social relationship. The competition is not a place where one is shown to be the best. It is a perfect environment to socialize with other people and improve values such as friendship and understanding.
- Spirit of overcoming. If you lose a competition you do not have to blame the opponent or torment yourself. You have to know how to overcome, shake hands with your opponent and think about what can be improved for the next time. Every mistake is learned and from all situations there is a lesson to be integrated.
- Self-discipline. Practicing a sport involves learning some rules and adapting to them, do not get carried away by the negative emotions of the moment and skip these rules.
- Feel good about yourself. Conquer victory with fair play and having managed to reach the top is one of the best sensations in the world. And these are achieved through the path of effort and respect to the contrary.
