  participated in organized sports as a medium to augment or enhance 
  learning  experiences  for  young  people,  contribute  to  their  personal 
  development  and  provide  many  psychological  and  social  benefits

  Result and discussion
  The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) in 
  2017 released that in the United States about 7.9 million high school 
  students (56%), playing several types of sports with a tendency to 
  increase sports participation over time, and participation in sports that 
  held  by  secondary  schools  has  steadily  increased  over  the  last  25 
  years (Ransom & Ransom, 2018).
  In  order  to  maximize  the  benefits  of  developing  youth  sports 
  participation,  various  sports-based  programs  that  are  intentionally 
  aimed at teaching life skills have been developed by researchers, life 
  skills classified as intrapersonal (that is skills that are more internal, 
  such  as  focus)  or  interpersonal  (that  is  useful  skills).  during  social 
  interactions, such as the ability to work in a team); This framework 
  combines two core life skills (focus and sportsmanship) and six related 
  life  skills  (persistence,  goal  setting,  emotional  regulation,  honesty, 
  teamwork, and respect) (Kendelle & Camiré, 2017).
