Why Do You Enjoy Your Sport?

1.       Harry’s sport: mountain climbing.

I like a challenge, and getting away from the city, so a few years ago I started climbing. I go out with a club, because it’s safer than going alone. I’m getting much better at working out the best route up a mountain and I never thought I’d be able to do that! And I’ve made some new friends through the club, too.

2.       Mary’s sport: cycling.

You can go cycling on your own, but I prefer to go out with other people from my cycle club. It gives me a good reason to keep going, even when I’m starting to feel tired. Some people do a lot of speed cycling, so that they lose weight, but I prefer to go more slowly and enjoy myself at the same time.

3.       Trevor’s sport: snowboarding.

I love speed and excitement, so snowboarding is the perfect sport for me. It’s really demanding, but I love it. My goal is to take part in professional races. We don’t get much snow where I live, so every day I go on holiday to a winter sports resort, usually with a friend who also likes snowboarding, and we practice really hard.

4.       Shaheen’s sport: yoga.

OK, so yoga isn’t really a sport, but it’s physical exercise that helps me keep fit. You don’t need to enter competitions, which suits me very well. My teacher says it’s important to spend half an hour doing yoga every morning before I do anything else. I’ve never been very good at keeping to a routine, but yoga gives me a reason to work at that, and I’m getting better.

5.       Samir’s sport: boxing.

Boxing is a very physical sport, of course, but you also have to think all the time about what the person you’re boxing with is going to do, and be ready for it. That’s the main reason I was attracted to boxing, and it’s good I can use that skill in other parts of my life, too.
