  Why play sports? You might say “to get exercise” and you’d be right. To have fun? That’s true, too. But there’s more. In fact, there are at least 5 more reasons. According to the Women’s Sports Foundation, girls who play sports get a lot more than just fit.
  Girls who play sports do better in school.
  1 But research shows that girls who play sports do better in school than those who don’t. Exercise improves learning, memory, and concentration (注意力), which can give active girls an advantage in the classroom.
  2 Sports teaches valuable life skills. When you working with coaches, trainers, and teammates to win games and achieve goals, you’re learning how to be successful. Those skills will serve you well at work and in family life.
  Sports are good for a girl’s health. Besides being fit and maintaining a healthy weight, girls who play sports are also less likely to smoke. And later in life, girls who exercise are less likely to get breast cancer.
  3 Girls who play sports feel better about themselves. Why? It builds confidence when you know you can practice, improve, and achieve your goals. Sports are also a feel-good activity because they help girls get in shape, keep a healthy weight, and make new friends.
  Exercise cuts the pressure (压力). Playing sports can help you feel relaxed and a little happier. How? The brain chemicals produced during exercise improve a person’s mood. Friends are another mood-lifter. And being on a team creates close relationship between friends. It’s good to know your teammates will support you — both on and off the field!
