Football can change how a person is in life. There are many positive effects from playing the sport other than getting money. Some may feel different on the subject. One may learn that it is important to work together to achieve a certain goal. They may also learn to communicate to function properly. They could also learn that if you give it your all, you will be rewarded. It is not always aout getting money. Sometimes it is about the feeling you get after playing the game.

Soccer can help shape a person's life. You can be well known for your effort on the field. Instead of wasting your life being a gamer on a couch, you can get lots of exercise. You can get the opportunity to travel everywhere and meet new people. Usually getting involved in sports requires a sacrifice and a risk of getting hurt. Sometimes, depending on what you do as a living, a sacrifice might not take place. When you're on a travel team, it could be crazy because you have to get up early in order to get to your game. It also costs money because od possible hotel stays and sports equipment. Other than the negatives, getting involved in soccer can be a fun experience.

Softball can shape a person and influence them in many ways. For instance it can teach you discipline, to have fun, and maybe go into the championship. It teaches you discipline because if you don't do good in school then you won't be able to play until you get your grades up. It influences you to be there on time and keep a schedule. When your late your not on time you might get kicked off the team because if your late all the time then you don't have the responsibility. It even teaches you a little responsibility by being on time.

Sports can change many peoples lives. It teaches commitment and discipline. You have to be willing or able to work with others. When you are playing a sport you build friendships with the other players. It can also teach you to focus, and to not get distracted. You also learn accountability, dedication, and leadership. You have to know all these things inorder to play a sport. You must be dedicated to the game, because if your not then there's no point of you playing the game. Also, you need to know leadership, because it can help you if you have to lead the team or help others. Accountability is also a big one, because your teammates need to be able to count on you and you need to be able to count on them.

In many peoples lives, sports is a huge deal. Their life revolves around sports, just like mine did before I moved to Effingham County in the 6th grade. My life used to be sports everyday. One day I would have practice for one thing the a game for a different sport the next. My favorite sport that I did was soccer. Don't get me wrong I loved softball, cheer, dance, gymnastics, and everything else but soccer was what I enjoyed most. Soccer was my life.

The way sports change a person is amazing in results. Especially football, football can change your life extremely. Football can change you and what you do in life.

Many people dedicate almost their whole lives to sports, but why? Well Playing a sport or participating in other extra curriculum activities can have many positive impacts on your life.

When starting softball at an early age can help build your future. One way is it if you practice all the time you'll become better at it. At a early age your skills are easy and become harder as you get older.

Sports can change ones thoughts or how they live. They can make people act different. They can also change how they feel about things. When I played basketball or soccer I felt different on the field or court. Every time I went to play I was serious and didn't play around. I like to win and that pushed me and made me play my hardest. You can tell because I show it by sweating, working hard, and pushing myself. Sports made be active. I'm not cooped up on a video game like other people.

In many ways, sports can affect your life. This is why man parents are signing kids up for them at an early age. It develops their social skills, helps them meet new people, and also helps them discover new interests besides the sport. This could ultimately affect the child's lifestyle as an adult. These include their career and hobbies.

Anything can influence, a young person life just about anything. If a young person wacthes media, it can drasticly change a young person life. For example if a young person wacthes football or baseball, They may want to play professional sports when they get older. Or they may want to be a celebrity or somebody famous. Either way social media and Tv will effect young people life.

I think that starting baseball early can help in the future.Baseball influences many peoples lives.If you keep working on your baseball skills early in life it will help so much later on.If you like base ball alot and practice at an early age it will help you achieve your goals.Influence at an early age is very good.It gives you more training and skill.You can learn how to throw different types of balls or even tips on how to run faster.If you start at an early age youll be better at it later in life if you keep training.

There are many different types of music out in the great big world. There is rock. There is Jazz. There is pop. There is many more. My favorite is rock. Some one that listens to all types of music will probably be well rounded. Someone that listens to just on type of music will more than likely act like the personality of the music.

In real life, these skills can help you with house issues. Chores can be completed quicker. Cleaning rooms can be done with ease. Everything would be much simpler if these skills were used outside football. Some chores take forever without these skills. This is a reason that chores are hated by many children. Communication is key in getting things finished on time. Teamwork is another key factor in getting things done.

It takes time and dedication. However volleyball teaches lessons that will stick with you for the rest of your life. It teaches teamwork and responsibility.

Sports can change alot of people in alot of ways. Football changed me at a very young age, however, it didn't really shape who i wanted to be. I began playing Rec Ball when i was 6. From the age of six to the age of fourteen, I have been playing football. It has made me faster, stronger, and helped me to work better with a team. But my mind has always been made up to be a doctor. The sport helped me learn a couple things, but in all reality, it hasn't shaped my future. I am looking into things that grab my interest more than not.

If I had to choose a sport that I think would influence someone's life I would choose basketball. I played basketball when I was younger for our church team called Upward Basketball. As a team member one of the first things we learned was winning wasn't everything. We learned to encourage each other and be disciplined.

Music is considered an art, and rightfully so. People call music the language of the soul. They also call it the universal language. It is an essential part of who we are. If you were to pursue a music career starting at a young age, it opens up a whole new set of doors in your life. Through music, you can share emotions, thoughts, and feelings to the world. Music can have a lot of meaning. More than you would think something from a piece of paper would have.

A really fine art to study and use is music! Music is a great art to study because when you play an instrument or sing you just get better and better. When you pursue the path of music you are opening a door that is so easy to win at and to be successful in. When you go into high school you get placed in a rank of how good you are. The top ranking seniors get looked at by colleges and could get a scholarship if they were really good. I know several really good instrumentist at the high school that are probably going to get a scholarship for some really could colleges.

Football could have an effect on a person's life. It can have a positive effect. Football coaches could mentor a player. And set them in the right path. Also football teaches you how to work as a team. You might not like someone, but without them you can't win the game.

Choosing a sport that might effect someones life isn't hard. Also long term it'll still be the same either way. For example football as the topic of this predicument or something. I'd think it would make a person very aggressive as they keep playing the sport. Maybe high tempered or just over comfident.

Cheer is a sport I know that can shape and influence on a young one. When you start cheer you are able to teach disabline. By teaching disabline you are able to disabline the younger ones. By doing so they will have respect. Respect not only for themselves but for others too. I couldn't imagine life without it. It has made a difference in my life. It has shaped me by giving me the strength to teach the younger ones what I have endure.

One of the arts that one can shape a person's life is music. Music can make people feel happy and lead them into a successful life using any particular talent. Starting at a young age is the best time to start because a child can learn to grow into a happy talent. No matter who you are you can always enjoy a musical talent, and you can be a very successful person. Also, you don't have to be a super famous person to be successful in the musical arts, you can be someone who makes another happy by music you play. Music will always have an impact on the soul!

I believe that dance is an art that can be pursued for a long time and can shape future interests. Dance can be taken on many different levels. Depending on how far you take dance will determine your future in it. Many parents put their kids in dance when they are three or four and have them in dance basically their whole life. Those are the kids who will probably make a career out of dance. Other parents will enter their kids in dance at a later age. They are most likely not as interested in making dance a career for their children. I think this kind of gives the child a choice if they want to continue with dance or not.

Sports can become someone's life. No matter what life throws at them there willing to step up to plate, and be there to pick the team up. Many people see sports as something to do. Once you start something at a hound age you hooked... In my case,softball, I started when I was 6 and have became hooked since then. I can't see my life without it. My life is shaped around a ball that holds my life together with only 88 stitches.some say "well do to you get tired of playing ", and my response is no, I would have no life without it.

Teaching sports to someone at an early age could help shape and influence their life. First, the person must have the desire to play a sport. The coach can entice the person by making the game fun and exciting. When something is fun most people, regardless of age, are more willing to learn the skills necessary to play the sport. Although each sport requires a variety of skills, the basic skills all relate to life skills. In order to be part of a team, one must follow directions and listen. These are two important factors in every day living. Along with these two skills there are many more that playing a sport can teach you.

Arts has shaped me and my whole family as well. They vary from music to literal art! My mother is an artist and singer as well as I. We all rely in music to pull us put of funks if we are upset. It has a special quality that you cant find anywhere else.

I think that starting at a young ago could also influence & pressure a child. With all the pressure of doing that one thing could make them not want to do anything like that, but then again, it could influence them to be the best they could be till they make it to the top. For example the only reason most of those cheerleaders at school get on the team is because they start from the beginning. Unlike other people, its hard for kids to start a new hobby & be good at it, that's why you start from the start. Sometimes it may be hard to put your heart into something to love it.

All types of art can lead a person down a path to a successful career. Anything from basketball to graphic arts is a good start at a career. Most people are put into programs for sports at a young age. Sometimes if they start at a young age, by the time they are in high school they have a chance at getting a scholarship to a universities, or even multiple scholarships.
