I have learned lots from playing sports. First of all, sports have taught me how to concentrate my mind and block out unnecessary distracting while I focus on a match (tennis). or a race (ski). Also, sports have taught me how to compete. It has made me a gracious winner but more importantly, a good loser. I recover from setbacks quickly and focus on the next target. Finally, sports have helped me a lot to develop my social skills and my independence.
