Ten benefits of playing basketball
1. Grow taller to improve your aerobic capacity
While playing basketball is good for all aspects of physical development, the biggest benefits are increased height and increased aerobic capacity.
Because basketball is a "tall" sport, being tall or jumping tall is an advantage.
After a game, jumps can be up to 200 times, and the biomechanical signal the bones get is "to survive, you have to grow up"!
2. Improve sensory integration
Research has shown that many modern psychological and developmental diseases stem from problems with sensory integration.
When people play basketball, the various senses are in a highly excited state and coordinate with each other.
As a result, basketball becomes one of the best sensory integration exercises.
3. Improve reflexes
Personalized basketball is an open technical sport that requires players to adapt to changing moments on the court.
With the passage of time, the reaction time is shortened and the reaction ability is improved.
4. Improve people's decision-making capacity
It's the same thing as improving your reflexes.
The ever-changing pitch requires players to make decisive decisions about when to throw, when to pass, and so on.
What are their strengths? What are our advantages? How to build the best lineup?
These decision-making exercises are sure to help a person make big and small decisions in their daily lives.
5. Improve your observation skills
When we first learned to play basketball, the coach always reminded us to learn to use the peripheral vision of the eyes to observe the defense of the opponent.
In fact, this is the mental observation ability.
In everyday life, this ability to observe life around you is very important.
6. Develop courage and a sense of adventure
Fear and worry are often a big obstacle to our progress in life, and in the urgent moments of major basketball games, taking a bold shot is often necessary to win.
7. Accept failure
People who have participated in competitive sports must have had the experience of failure, and life is actually the same.
How to learn from failure and improve to a higher level is the biggest gain every athlete gets from the experience of failure.
8.Grit - Perseverance
The ancients said: "nothing is difficult in the world, only if you have a heart", "as long as the effort is deep, the iron pestle into a needle" said that as long as the reason can be successful.
Modern psychology calls this "courage."
Chinese-american scholar Angela Duckworth's research has found that "resilience" is the most important factor for success in life, ahead of IQ and EQ.
The "toughness" scale was successfully used to predict officer selection at West Point.
Basketball training is the best way to hone the "toughness" of players.
9. Team! Team!
Teamwork is an important part of the quality training of employees in modern workplace. Basketball itself is a team sport. The success of a person and a team must be the integration of everyone in the team (including their motor skills, techniques and tactics, personality, etc.).
10. Develop leadership
The training of a basketball team is actually a systematic project, from the selection of players, training skills, techniques and tactics, to the psychological and playing together with a group of people, are not a thing that can be completed overnight, requires the efforts of coaches and players year after year.
Interest is a child's best teacher, but the right training method is also essential. The first step for young people to receive basketball training is to let young people like basketball and develop their interest in basketball through competition.
At the age of 3-4, we can stimulate children's interest in basketball by playing ball. When you are 5-6 years old, you can initially accept the most basic basketball training. Due to his young age and weak physical strength, he can master the most basic basketball skills, which do not involve the deep skills and tactics of basketball.
