5 Life Lessons Kids Learn from Basketball

by NYCBBL on Apr. 07, 2017

5 Life Lessons Kids Learn from Basketball

Basketball teaches kids a lot more than how to shoot a basketball or how to use a pick-and-roll. There are a lot of life lessons kids will learn on their journey. You can make a difference in your kid's long-term life by involving them and helping them learn the lessons listed below:

1. It's Okay to Make Mistakes There will be many instances when kids make mistakes during games, or practice. A good coach reassures the players that it's okay to make mistakes. These mistakes turn into learning experiences over the period of time.

2. Setting & Achieving Goals   Basketball is a great sport to learn how to set goals and determine how to go about it with no repercussions if they fall short or fail. The sport teaches kids how to reach those goals by breaking them down.

3. Together Everyone Achieves More Players learn that the best chance of success will be through cooperation with their teammates, and the results are the same whether its on the court or in school. They also learn social skills by interacting with and meeting new people with similar interests.    4. Handling Disappointment Lot of times kids practice so very hard for a game but fail to succeed. Kids learn to take those losses and extract the learning out of them. Failure then becomes a temporary setback from which they improve performance.

5. Respecting Everyone   Through basketball kids learn the importance of respecting those around them. This not only includes the coaches and referees but also their teammates, the opposition and everyone else involved.
