I like
ballet, jazz,
and tap because
I get to dance my
heart out . . .
I love so
many sports!
and I like swimming
because floating feels
awesome and it lets me
have quiet time . . .
and I like tennis because
it’s good exercise and it
makes me feel alive . . .
play power
and I like volleyball
because it feels so great
to hit that ball!
–Alisson
and I like soccer because it
gives me a chance to run in
the green grass . . .
what’s so great
about sports?
Chances are, if you’re reading this book, you already like
playing a sport—or doing something that works your
body and keeps you fit. So why do you do it?
Maybe you play
because you love
to run, shoot
hoops, kick a
ball, or do back
handsprings—
because it
just feels great!
Maybe you think
any kind of moving
is more fun than
sitting still or
staring at a
screen.
Maybe you like
discovering your
body can do things
you didn’t know it
could do.
Maybe you believe outside is the best side!
You like to explore the great outdoors.
