Survey Results - Girls


I surveyed 4th-8th grade basketball and softball players and asked them a single question: "Why do you play sports?"

I asked them to rank their reasons (in order of importance) from these eleven choices:

To stay in shape and get exercise
To improve my skills 
To have fun 
To be a part of a team and learn teamwork 
To go to a higher level of competition
To earn a college scholarship 
To increase my self-confidence 
To win 
To make friends 
For the excitement and challenge of competition
Because my parents asked me to play



Before you open my presentation, take a guess: 
  • What are the girls' Top 3 reasons for playing sports?
  • Where does "To win" rank?
  • Where does "To have fun" rank?
