Basketball can bring massive benefits to students like:
● PHYSICAL HEALTH

– a student who is an active basketball player tends to make better

health decisions and avoids indulging in risky exercises.
– Indulging in a game of basketball after school hours as an amateur or
a college athlete can improve your fitness levels.
● MENTAL BENEFITS

– Playing basketball can make you feel good about yourself and help
build positive self-esteem. For a student, these traits are essential to
handle challenging tasks and difficult situations in and outside
academic life.
– Instills the value of teamwork. Basketball is a team sport in which
–
players have to work together to achieve success. A model student
isn’t just excellent in learning but must also be admirable. Students
must learn the benefits of accomplishing tasks as a team as opposed
to trying to carry them out as a single unit.
– Students are prone to experiencing high-stress levels as they look to
successfully navigate the tasks and objectives academic institutions
throw at them. Basketball helps create an avenue for students to
relieve themselves of the built-up stress that comes with being a
student. This subsequently leads to a sound mind and an improved
work rate.
● SOCIAL BENEFITS
– Students who are good at basketball tend to enjoy a high level of
popularity in school, a scenario which tends to increase in tertiary
institutions. They get to make friends easily and have great
communication skills.
– Students who play basketball don’t just have the opportunity to play
on the school team but can also go on to become professional
athletes.
● ACADEMIC BENEFITS
– College athletes have the chance to get scholarships to educational
institutions with college basketball teams.
