Some advantages are that students gain leadership skills. Much of sports education is student-led. By having captains and coaches, the students are responsible, they manage the practices; create starting lineups, etc. Teach them how to lead in certain situations and be responsible when assigned tasks so that their team can succeed. Furthermore, all students participate. A big problem in physical education now is that kids don't participate, most of the time it's because they're not athletic and don't want to embarrass themselves. But with Sports Education, even those who aren't athletic can still get involved without actually playing the sport. Someone who might be better at taking charge and organizing may be evaluated based on this rather than their skills in the sport they are playing that season. It also provides students with knowledge about sports that they may not have had in the past. But ultimately, it's a positive environment. Everyone is involved and no one worries about not being good at something because there is something for everyone
