　　So central is physical education to students’ health that most schools dedicate a notable portion of the time students spend at school to playing sports. 1Nevertheless, there is not much agreement as to the types of sports that are to be played. 2Popular belief is that incorporating team sports invariably yields better results. 3I fully subscribe to this view in that such sports guarantee further cooperation among students and facilitate the acquisition of problem-solving skills.4
　　Of the many desirable psychological and attitudinal impacts of playing team sports, one that particularly stands out is learning how to cherish team values instead of personal pursuits. 5Undoubtedly, when students buy into the idea of being a team member, they need to possess a spirit of teamwork to help accomplish team goals. One tangible and practical outcome of such cooperation is students will appreciate the value of working in concert with others and learn to apply their experiences to new domains; they will notice the failure of one to work with others is tantamount to the failure of all members. 6By contrast, students more inclined to play individuals sports, such as martial arts, cannot come to such realizations.7
　　More importantly, being spontaneous in improvising new strategies in the face of unanticipated challenges can best be realized through team sports. 8These sports provide countless opportunities requiring students to master skills essential to figuring out ways to deal with problems. It is noteworthy that individual sports- owing to the limited number of variables at play- often turn out to be predictable and leave individuals alone with their weaknesses9, whereas in team sports, players build on each other’s strengths to come up with creative solutions to manage the unexpected.10
　　To recap11, noticing the unique opportunities team sports provide- fostering team spirit and furthering cooperation among students as well as teaching them the value of problem-solving skills to the success of a team- educators should give them greater priority.12
