text: Putting students out of their comfort zones by encouraging them to try new things is also a great way for students to find activities that want to pursue. Maybe someone has played soccer ever since they were in second grade and they've never tried basketball, however when they get to middle school they finally try basketball and realize they love it. You can never be sure that you dont want to do something until you try it. For instance Lebron James didnt know he wanted to play basketball until he was introduced to it so you never know if your going to be the next star.
