Most people think that sports are made to get you tired and skinny, and there is no point of playing a sport when they don’t realize the absolute beauty of sports. If you are one of those people then you should read this.

 Yes, it is true, sports do get you tired and help you get exercise. But there are many more reasons why you should play sports. I will give you 5 reasons why you should play sports including what the meaning of a sport is.

3. The 3rd reason you should play a sport is because when you play a sport whether basketball, football, soccer, tennis etc. You learn how to be a good sportsmanship and to understand that if you lose, you should be able to realize that the other team won fair and square, and if you win..Please don’t brag about it, no one likes that.
