I love sports, but if I'm honest with you, unless they have a future in professional sports, they don't benefit at all. Sports can be a distraction from studies, and those important lessons about teamwork and being unselfish were hopefully learned at a much earlier age than in college.
I disagree with this!! Even if you are not going to be a professional there are many benefits to sports in college. First, the exercise. Everyone can always use exercise! According to Harvard Grad School of Public Health students who exercise 4 hours per week reduce their chances of heart attack, stroke, back problems, osteoporosis, and many other health problems by 50%. Sports also increases self esteem, improves grades, gives one better social skills and allows them to be a team player, gives opportunities for scholarships, and allows the students to travel. There are many more benefits--this is just to throw some out there.
Playing sports in college can help college athletes get better and expand their skills so they can play sports for money. Like how people play college football and have better chances to play in the CFL, NFL, or European football than someone straight out of high school. Same in all sports.
