[originaltext] (26) For some people, choosing which sports to pursue through

(26) For some people, choosing which sports to pursue throughout college is hard, because they have never really played an organized sport before and aren’t sure what they’ll most enjoy. For others it’s a tough decision because their friends don’t like to play the same sport. No matter what your sports dilemma is, you have to make the decision that is best for you. If you’re great at soccer but would rather play basketball because you think it’s more fun, then give it a go! Sports are meant to be funny. (27) If there is a sport you really enjoy but you aren’t sure if you can make the team, try out anyway. What’s the worst that can happen? If you get cut you can always try another sport. And sports like cross country and tracks don’t typically cut participants from the team. You can still participate even if you’re not on the elite league.
    (28) Whether you choose one sport or three,make sure you give yourself a break from intense competition with some cross-training activities. Through cross-training you can take a rest from your sport or sports while still getting a workout and staying in shape. Two examples of cross-training are swimming and cycling. Swimming can really help build your upper body,while cycling strengthens your legs. Time between seasons is also the perfect opportunity to get into a strength-training routine. Before starting strength training, consult your doctor and school’s strength and conditioning coach. (29) Your doctor will be able to give you health clearance to participate in the different types of physical activities, and your strength coach can come up with a workout to help you prepare for your specific sports.
