I wish I had played team sports. I think every kid should. Teamwork builds character - teaches people about leadership and cooperation.

It's so important for kids to get involved with sports in general at a young age.

I know when I have kids, when I'm older, I'm going to encourage them to play sports because I think it teaches you a lot. It teaches you discipline, teamwork, and that there's really no 'I' in team.

We've seen the kind of social impact a professional sports team has on a city. A team brings high-profile role models into your community who are healthy and they're great images for the city to gravitate toward, especially for kids.

I think sports are extremely beneficial for our youth. They parallel life in so many ways.

I think that from the time you start playing sports as a child you see that your responsibility to your team is to play the best that you can play as an individual... and yet, not take anything away from being part of a team.

Sport is an important part of the development of kids, and hence, it should be made a part of their curriculum.

Though teenagers are generally very interested in sports, they must realise that education is the most important thing in their lives. They must find the right balance.

Sport fosters many things that are good; teamwork and leadership.

I'm very passionate about the use of sports in young people's lives to build self-esteem and self-discipline and self-confidence. It's been a big thing for me.
