Benefits

Improve your social skills

“By collaborating toward a shared goal, you learn to have meaningful conversations,” says Dr.

Leslie-Toogood. And if some of your post-game debriefs happen over nachos, even better.

Accept vulnerability

“You can’t hide your weaknesses,” notes Miller. “Sweat shows the real you.” No wonder he’s

seen so many relationships forged through sports teams.

Develop higher resilience

“No matter how the day at the office was, those frustrations can’t carry into a game,” Dr. Leslie-

Toogood says. “And by sometimes failing during the sport, you reflect and grow.”

Bolster physical fitness

Allow Rolston Miller to sum up the aerobic benefits of dodgeball best: “As humans,” he says, “we

should all be able to throw stuff, hit stuff, run, and jump. It’s important.”
