Psychologists(心理學(xué)家) know that children learn important life lessons when they join in sports. Some research even _________ the things children learn in a team sport will directly influence how they behave in the future. What do children learn when they take part in a team sport? One of the skills is how to find a __________ between competing and team work. All sports are competitions and there is always going to be a winner and a loser. But in order to win, kids shouldn’t just care about what they want for themselves. They should do _________ they are needed to do for the team. Many kids understand that winning isn’t everything. A U.S. study of 26,000 children found that winning was only the tenth most important reason for playing on a team. More important reasons were feeling the _________ of playing the game, being part of the team, and developing skills. Having fun was the _________ reason.

The parents of kids should understand that there is _________ more important than winning. Sports psychologists suggest using the idea of succeeding rather than winning. Succeeding means doing your __________. Doing your best is not the same as winning. An important part of “doing your best” means trying to do better than _________. Bettering your own time and trying to get to your “personal best” are what everyone can enjoy. Psychologists say that excellent athletes don't talk about winning. They talk about how they love the sport instead. Canadian Lloyd Eisner, an Olympic skater, is a good _________. He remembers, when he was a kid, his parents would never __________ him to go to the ice rink (溜冰場) to practice. “Their opinion was, if I didn't want to, I didn’t have to. The result was that when I did go, I knew it was my choice. I went because I loved it.”
