accomplishment and pride he experiences when excelling at a chosen sport or another type of
leisure activity. These types of activities also allow an individual to sharpen communication, time
management, motivational and disciplinary skills that he can then use to enhance his career or
personal relationships.

body and mind. Recreational activities help a person relax and decrease the effects of work related
and interpersonal stressors. Physical recreational activities, such as playing basketball or volleyball
with friends, help to keep a person’s body in shape and serve to initiate close bonds with other like-
