Brilio.net/en - Exercise isnt just fun and healthy. It helps build relationships between people. So, when you are playing with your team and the only thing on your mind is winning or losing, you are actually thinking a lot more about the people around you than you realize.
Here are six great things we can get out of team sports:
1. Building trust

When playing team sports, we have a chance to demonstrate our capabilities, as well as improving our self-awareness and assessing our teammates. The better you know their abilities, the better you know when to help them and when you can trust them to get the job done on their own.
2. Consistent training

Most people spend most of their time being a couch potato and ended by never move their bodies at all. But team sports force us to commit to exercising regularly due to a shared training schedule. If you dont go, you are letting your teammates down, and that is a powerful motivator.
3. Developing relationships and communication

When playing in a team, our relationship with other people benefits. By communicating with each other, our social skills improve constantly and shape around one another. You learn how to interact and get along with a diverse group of people that you may otherwise never get off the ground with.
4. Time management and discipline

Our participation in team sport will make us learn how to manage our time well and how to be discipline. For instance, no matter how busy and lazy you are, you will still go training when you are already have a schedule and it's all for the sake of your team. You cannot adjust it to your own schedule, so you manager your own schedule to make time for it.
5. It's all about respect

The ability to work with other is not an easy thing to learn. Not every great athlete can learn how to be a great team player. We must learn to be able to share responsibilities and trust with others. Victories and defeats are carried by the team, and excessive individual pride is poisonous to the team mentality. There are many players whose teamwork is phenomenal and athletic ability is so-so - but they will always benefit a team more than an individual who is playing for themselves alone.
6. And of course, leadership

Team sports trains us to understand the position of other individuals, whether you are at the helm or not. Becoming a team leader is not just about giving commands but encouraging, respecting, motivating and supporting your teammates.
A team sport you might want to look at is Tough Mudder. Its an endurance event set in a mud arena that started in 2010, and this year its coming to Bali for its first-ever edition in Asia. Participants go through military-style obstacle courses. There are no times recorded - its about teamwork, not competition.
