Document Summary
Sport for health (3/5/2018): making the world a better place. Us is the most obese country and also the highest attendance. Only 26% of our kids are active. 50% of people quit their gym within 6 months. Sports create fun instead of just working out . #1 reason kids play sports is for fun. #51 reason for kids to play was winning. Sport has become work in the united states. It is fun if you can decide what you want to do. Youth level- make it a smaller team so everyone gets the ball and gets play time. Offer different sports throughout the year, so they have options when one season ends. For health reasons- substitutions of players, when someone"s injured, etc. Trophies/ rewards for winning, shouldn"t overrule everything. Understanding the trade-off between fun and unhealthy behavior. Creating a festival atmosphere is extremely useful for building a sport community. Don"t sell liquor, maybe do light and lower alcohol beers.
