Quarter 4 – Module 2
Choosing a Sport
 Each one of us may have played many different sports. Sometimes,
we play that sport because of peer influence and some may play it just for
fame. But the real essence of playing sports is the benefits we can get
from it.
Let us consider the fact that there is no best sport for all people.
What is fun for you may not be fun for others. Likewise, what is beneficial
for the others might not be beneficial for you. In this module, you will know
what is the best sports that will suit you holistically.

Task 2: Read and Reflect

Building Performance Skills Story

To enjoy a physical activity, it is good to have skills needed for the sport or
game. Skills such as kicking, throwing, hitting, and swimming can be learned by
anyone with practice. However, it takes some people longer to learn these skills.
Zack felt that he was never good at sports. He tried several activities and
found out that he was not as good as the other people he knew. He even tried out for
team sports at school. Once, he tried out with the soccer team then the swimming
team but did not make good in either one of them. His biggest problem was that he
did not learn to play sports when he was young, and now, he was behind others who
played sports.
Zack wanted to learn sport but was afraid that he would be unsuccessful
again and that his friends might laugh at him. He did a self-assessment of his skill -
related abilities and found out that he did well on most of the assessments. He found
out that he did best in coordination and agility, though his power was not especially
high.
Before trying out for a team again, Zack thought it would be best to try to learn
some skills of a sport that matched his abilities. Being over 6 feet tall and weighing
180 pounds seemed to be an advantage, though he wanted to get stronger. Still, he
was not sure which sport would be best for him. He wanted to be on a team, but he
also wanted to learn something that would be fun and interesting.

QUESTIONS:
1. What was Zack’s biggest problem when he was young?

2. What advice would you give Zack for choosing a sport?

3. What practice would you advice to Zack?

module, give at least two abilities you performed best.

What is It

It is said that there is no best sport for all

people. You may choose a sport that is fun for
you but not for the others. Considering that each
sport has its own benefits, choose a sport that can
be both beneficial mentally and physically. You
can also choose a sport that sounds interesting
and can bring the best in you.

Consider some of the following guidelines when

choosing a sport:

Source: https://blog.playo.co/sports-that-will-be-suitable-for-you/

1. Select sports that provide benefits that you need.

For example, if you need to improve your cardiovascular fitness, choose an
activity that causes your heart rate to
increase.

2. Choose activities that match

your abilities.
Teens with good cardiovascular
fitness may chose soccer or cross-
country running and those with good
flexibility may choose gymnastics or
extreme sports.

homeschoolers/

3. Try many different activities.

By trying different activities, you can see which ones you like best and which
ones match your abilities.
4. Choose activities that are
accessible to you.
Be sure you have the space and
equipment necessary to do the
activity. If the activity is a team
activity, you must have other people
who are also interested in doing the
activity.

homeschoolers/

5. Choose the activity that you will practice.
As you know, practice helps you develop good skills. Good skills help you
perform better and make the activity more enjoyable.
6. Choose activities for which you can get good instruction.
Good instruction helps you understand how to use the biomechanical principles
that you have learned, as well as other principles that affect the activity. This
knowledge can help you practice better, learn better, and perform better.
7. Consider activities that you can
enjoy now and also later in life.
Being active should be a lifetime goal.
Choose activities that you enjoy now,
even if you may not do them later in
life. But also choose activities that you
enjoy now and that you will be able to
perform and enjoy in the years ahead.

What’s More

Many sports require practicing more than a few skills to become proficient. For
example, basketball players must practice shooting, dribbling, passing, catching and
defensive skills. Follow these guidelines to improve your sport skills:

• Get good instruction. If you learn a skill incorrectly, it will be hard to improve,
even with practice.
• At first do not worry about
details. When you first learn a
skill, concentrate on the skill as a
whole.

• As you improve,
concentrate on one detail at a
time. If you try to concentrate on
too many details at once, you may
develop what is called paralysis of
analysis.

components-4155209

• Keep practicing. When you play a game without having the proper skills, you
often develop bad habits that hinder your success.
• Avoid competing while learning a skill. Competing while learning a skill is
stressful and does not promote optimal learning.
• Think positively. If you think positively while you practice, you will learn
faster and become more confident in your abilities.

5
 • Choose an activity that
matches your skill-
related fitness. Use the
information from your self-
assessment skill- related
fitness to help you choose
a sport in which you are
most likely to succeed.
