In team sports, each team member has to actively contribute to the team to get good results. as well as in the games, teamwork is very important to every social level such as for a workplace, for a school project, for social project etc. when we work as a team every task can be achievable without wasting any time. also, when we work as a team, it improves self-discipline, togetherness and fellow feeling.
If We talk about the leader, He came front and took the challenge and guided the team very well throughout the series. He improved lot of leadership qualities from the sport he plays.
We can improve lot of qualities from sports, when you play a game, you have some important role to play and you get responsibilities, you must give your maximum for win, no matter individual or team sport. also, sports provide confidence to face life challenges and help to overcome those challenges easily.
