　　Some think thatgames teach us about life. Others think that life is simply a grand game thatone must learn to play. In any case games are part of the lives of every human,whatever culture. Although the rules to games may be different, and the reasonsfor playing certain games diverse, it is indisputable that playing gamesteaches us about life.

　　First of all,playing games teaches us about teamwork. Most games demand more than oneparticipant, and several require that one work in unison with one or more otherpeople on a team. When one is a member of a team, one learns to put the teamfist rather than personal success. For instance, I played right full back on anintramural,

　　clearing balls and passing up to the wings, our speedy strikerscould not score. Conversely, without the speed and scoring ability of

　　ourstrikers, no matter how solid tire team work in unison, performing discreettasks that further a team goal, rather than and individual one. Playing soccerhelpedme to learn about teamwork, and this knowledge has spilled over into mylife in other ways. At my job, I constantly have to work with people. Workingwith people in my occupation is similar to playing soccer. Team goals becomemore important than personal ones, and learning to support each other duringwork time comes easily, as I had already learned these skills on the pitch.

　　Playing games alsoteaches us about preparation, which is vital both on the field and off of it.When I was twelve years old, I learned a valuable lesson about preparation frommy basketball coach. After a particularly uninspired practice, my coach gatheredus around. He said, “You play like you practice. And your sloppy practice willappear during the game.” He was right. At our nest game, we fumbled our

　　passes,became frustrated with each other, and lost the game. My teammates and Iresolved to focus harder in practice, and steadily our play in games improved.My coach's adage “you play like you practice” translates directly into life.Without specific preparation in work at home, we rarely succeed. Preparation isparamount to success, and I learned this on the basketball court.

　　In summary, by teaching us about teamwork andpreparation, games have direct relevance to life. For me, these lessons came onthe sports field; for others they may come by participating in a variety ofgames, athletic or not. Games are a vital part of life, and they have manyskills to impart that are applicable after the game is over.
