Many have been organized into leagues, groups, clubs, or some other form of organization. Every sport is unique, and each motivates its participants through the physical and mental demands it makes on them.
Sports are very challenging.
They demand that the participant have personal commitment to practice, because no athlete ever succeeds in his or her sports career without practice and improvement of their skills. Sports help create relaxation, providing relief from the daily work schedule, from stress, or even sadness. Many amateur athletes who are very skillful in their chosen sport find it enjoyable to play pick up games with their friends whenever time will permit. These athletes can perform in the gymnasium or out in the field. Playing a sport provides opportunities for the participant to make new friends, get in physical better shape, and stay healthy.
