BASKETBALL DRIBBLING | Whether you’re shooting hoops at home, playing a friendly game with some buddies, or competing at a national level, basketball is a game that will stretch your mind and body to its limits.

However, while it’s easy to see the physical changes that your body undergoes while playing this game, the mental benefits are far more subtle and may not be immediately apparent.

But as intangible as they are, the mental benefits of basketball are real, and here are a few ways in which this sport can help your state of mind.

1) Enhanced Coordination

When playing this sport, you’ll need to use every part of your body while dribbling the ball and keeping it away from your opponents. This requires your full attention, and performing multiple activities at once is sure to improve your coordination, which, in turn, will boost cognitive function.

2) Builds Focus and Discipline

If you play for your college team, or even if you’ve decided to play a few games throughout the week, it’s essential that you maintain a strict schedule to meet these commitments. This necessity to plan your day or your week is sure to instill the quality of discipline and elevate your life to a higher plane.

Playing this game also requires that you stay focused and attentive at all times. So, playing on a regular basis is sure to help enhance your focus.

3) Reduces Stress and Anxiety

When you’re involved in a sport, you dedicate a chunk of your time to the physical activity, and this helps keep your mind off negative or stressful thoughts.

Basketball is a form of vigorous exercise, and each game stimulates your body to release ‘feel good’ hormones, or endorphins. These natural mood lifters will keep stress and depression at bay, leaving you feeling more relaxed and optimistic even after a single game.

4) Boosts Self-Confidence

Playing basketball on a regular basis will help to strengthen your muscles and keep you in great shape. As your stamina and skills improve, so will your physical abilities, which in turn will boost your self-esteem and give you a surge of confidence.

And of course, playing this sport regularly will help to boost your energy levels, leaving you feeling elated and better ready to handle the other tasks that daily life has to offer.

5) Improved Social Interactions

Basketball is a team game, and whether you like it or not, you’ll have to coordinate with the other players on your team if you want to enjoy the game. This is almost impossible without effective communication, but don’t worry – communication is a skill that can be developed through regular practice. And thanks to basketball, you can learn to improve your social interactions, which in turn will be extremely beneficial in your life.
