“All work and no play make Jack a dull boy”

This phrase is so old that even the exact origin and the person who said this is unidentified to date. This means that people have known the importance of physical activity and sports for ages unknown. Some people may think this would distract student-athletes from school work. However, the opposite is true. Sports require memorization, repetition and learning — skillsets that are directly relevant to class work. Also, the determination and goal-setting skills a sport requires can be transferred to the classroom. Sport can also develop great leaders and be an opportunity for individuals to shine.
