Why I Love Sports
As I try to think back to a period in my life when I did not play sports, It seems as if I can not recall. Ever since I can remember, I have always desired to play sports whenever I had the chance. Whether it was soccer, or hockey, I always felt the need to run, and jump, and use up all the energy I have. Sports are what make me want to beat my goals and persist through the hard parts in my life.
One way sports change my life is by helping me to do better in school. The way sports do this is by letting me use up all my energy so that I can be more focused during the more academic parts of my life. According to Rochester University “Exercise increases blood flow to the brain and helps the body build more connections between nerves, leading to increased concentration, enhanced memory, stimulated creativity, and better-developed problem solving skills.” This is saying that playing sports and exercising makes you smarter.
Another way sports have help me is by reducing my levels of stress and anxiety. Whenever I procrastinate over school related things, I just decide to go play soccer, or for a run, or maybe throw the lacrosse ball around. Then I come back to the project I was just doing and it all seems to be much easier.
Another reason why sports and exercise is so important is that it actually doesn’t make you always more tired. In fact, exercise pumps more oxygen through your blood, which gives you more energy to go through your usual stressful day.
All in all, sports are what make me function everyday, and without them, I don’t know what I would do.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed how you pulled in facts and reasoning to show how sports help you in other aspects of your life such as school and homework. I also liked how you described what types of sports you enjoy. Where did your love of sports come from?

dear teeny tiny fury,
ReplyDeleteI got my love of sports from my mom because she played tons of sports in her life. Most recently, my mom got me interested in lacrosse. She played for OES, and was the star forward when they won state.

ReplyDeleteI like how you had a quote from Rochester University and put facts in your writing. I also do some sports and I wish I had done more when I was younger. Are there any sports you want to try or haven't gotten the chance to do?

ReplyDeleteDear MM_Z,
ReplyDeleteI would really love to try hockey. It looks very interesting and intense, and I have always loved to skate.

Hockey seems scary. When i would go practice at the rink I would see the hockey players bump into each other and fall al the time and was absolutely terrified of them đŸ˜‚

Dear stwaberysky1,
ReplyDeleteI thought this was really cool because it's something most people can relate to. I was wondering what part of running around and playing sports make you relive stress?

Dear Hamilton9,
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose a favorite sport it would either be skiing running or lacrosse. I love these 3 sports because they are fast paced and I love lacrosse because it is very intense and physical. What is your favorite sport?
