Finding your Passion: Exploring a Variety of High School Sports Options to Discover What Drives You By Victor Moreno Morillo – High School is all about exploration and discovering yourself, trying new things and figuring out what you like and what you don’t. One of the areas where this process is more noticeable is in sports, where students can experiment with a wide variety of activities and discover what drives them. Usually, students tend to fall into one of three categories: First one, student-athletes that are attracted to team sports, to playing with their team to achieve a common goal and then celebrate together. This includes sports like soccer, basketball, or football, during which you create deep connections with your teammates by overcoming challenges together. Second one, more individual sports like tennis or track and field. This doesn’t mean that there is no team spirit or deeper connections, but that the success you bring to your team is only decided by your own performance on the field. These sports focus more on personal growth and overcoming your own limitations. Finally, there are students that find their passion in sports further away from traditional ones. We are talking about sports from ultimate frisbee to martial arts or dancing. These sports usually provide opportunities to explore new skills, movement patterns and thought processes, which set them apart.
