My parents, among the many good things they taught us, pushed us into sports from a young age and that's where we really built values, supportive beliefs, learned what it means to be competitive, passionate, what victory means but also how to manage defeat. The most important skills, as they are dominant self discipline and perseverance, I learned them through volleyball and beach volleyball.
A video that touched me a lot and I consider it a blessing for childrenof all ages to engage in sports and especially (personal opinion) with team sports!!
