I do an individual sport, karate, but I feel partof a team and I’m motivated to score pointsfor my club. I go in for competitions, andwhen I come first recently, I felt it was for theclub, not for myself. With the trainers, otherclub members and supporters, it’s like a bigfamily.

Sure, there are advantages: if you work outat the gym, you burn off calories and keep inshape and do it at a time that is convenient for you. But what about the friendship and the feeling oftogetherness you get when you play for a team?Are you a team player or do you prefer to do italone? Here’s what our readers said. Not everyone has the confidence or theability to participate in team sports. I’m 16and I like taking on new challenges, but. I’m not good enough to get into my schoolfootball team. When I play tennis, it’s just me againstmy opponent – it’s quite lonely withoutteammates. When I’m preparing for acompetition I just see my coach. When Icompete in a tournament and I beat anopponent, there’s just my family to cheerme on. I love tennis, I love winning matches,but I miss the sense of belonging you get ina team. I prefer team sports, but sometimes it’sdifficult when you let your team down. Last year, I had such a lot of school workthat I had to drop out of my basketballteam halfway through the season. I feltterrible. Jordan, 16 Jack, 17 Sherri, 16 Megan, 17
