Some people think that students play sports in order to get exercise．Others think it can help students have fun．But that is not enough．If students play sports, they can get more than healthy bodies．Why? Here are three more reasons．

Students who play sports do better in school．Some people think that doing exercise will take up students’ study time．But a recent study has shown that students who play sports get better scores in school than those who don’t．Exercise gets students to learn, remember things and concentrate better．

Students who play sports develop their teamwork spirit and learn problem-solving skills．When they are working together with others to win games and reach goals, they’re learning how to be successful in practice．And these skills will be useful to them for study or their future work．

Playing sports can also improve confidence．Students who play sports feel better about themselves．When they know they can improve and reach their goals by practicing, it builds their confidence．And sports can also help them communicate with others actively and make new friends．

Now, how about going out to play sports with your friends every day?
