Should I take up a sport in year 12? (1 Viewer)

[Elijahryan]

My goal is to get an ATAR of 90+

Subjects: 4 unit maths, physics, chemistry, ancient history and english advanced

Would it be a good idea to pick up a sport?

Definitely

Sports are a good way of releasing the stress that school will inevitably build up, plus its a good way to learn skills and meet new people

Yeah i would highly recommend picking up or continuing a sport during yr 12, it improves your physical and mental health while giving you an active way of taking a break from study.

Yes

Consider weightlifting. Scientific studies have shown particular benefits for it regarding cognitive ability

If you're already playing one then continue it but if you're not, try to do something with a friend group like indoor soccer because for that there isn't like any training (unless your team wants to) so you save some time but still have the benefit of playing a sport as it is just a 30 minute game a week.

If you don't want to like pay for that stuff you could always just go for a run in the park

Depends, dropped out of my sport (still exercise though) and miss the social side but I dont have a car and probably couldnt have afforded travelling all around sydney for training at 9-10pm on thursday/friday night and at varying times on sunday. I probably should have kept it but at least i kept on exercising.
