text: One reason to take an extracurricular activity such as soccer and support my position is because it guides students into learning traits like collaboration,team work, and communication (components used in soccer), and they carry out to a students daily life. For example before I took soccer as an extracurricular activity I didn't know how to work with people and that lead to me doing bad in group assignments; we had one for science where we worked on a environmental poster I did not know when to share Idea's,take leadership, or surprisingly how to ask for help! However, when I took soccer we worked on those fundamentals (in training you learn how to pass, how to ask for the ball, and how to get support from your teammates,etc). Those ideals carried on to my personal life and I noticed I started having better coordination with my peers in the science project (also just groups in general). Therefore all students should take at least one extracurricular activity so they learn the vital skills such as the ones I learned in soccer which improves coordination,communication,collaboration, and many more; these skills carry onto daily life for a student and make real life scenarios easier to deal with.
