And to live in this society we have to know the concept of trust, like whom we can trust, whom we can’t, when we should do or don’t, all of this is a game of mentality and it can be developed by being involved in sports activities.
While playing and practicing, you generally spent a very good portion of time with your teammates. And this spent time will give you some of the very good memories. Playing games creates friendships and memories that will last your lifetime. After spending this much amount of time with your team friends, they know very much about you, like how to make you laugh and how to turn your bad day into a great memory. And very often it has been seen that for a player, small moments with his friends while practicing is more valuable than going to a party on weekend.
