Benefits of Soccer
Soccer is a sport that can make any athlete better. The game teaches players angle and helps increase agility. There are several professional athletes that say they owe their athleticism to soccer. For example, a professional basketball player, Kobe Bryant, grew up in Europe and said the reason he had such good footwork was due to playing youth soccer. Professional football player, Tavian Banks, said the reason he was such a good running back was due to playing soccer. Even professional football coach, Jim Harbaugh, has had football recruits play soccer at his invites to assess their athleticism. Simply put soccer allows athletes to engage in a team sport that builds running endurance, speed, and stamina.
