LOVE this!!! I’ve been similarly advocating for young adults, people out of primary education years, to join team sports to help with the depression and “hopelessness” happening in young adults in the USA.

Thank You Candice for your comment. I believe the constant push for new individual challenges and team support is the answer. And It doesn’t have to be a team sport at all. This is true also for all these run clubs popping up everywhere. Sometimes you train alone, sometimes in a group, all in balance.

I wholeheartedly agree, doesn’t have to be a team sport- I majority of my life did sports that aren’t team sports and found I got so, so much out of them. I just recommend team sports for people to have a social outlet, although you make the point that even training together is that same social sphere.
