With more people involved, there is better possibility of a higher standard which therefore attracts more players and coaches.

- #5 FAMILY – Can be a positive influence if your family is interested in sport as they provide good role models for you or can encourage you. It can also be a negative influence if they are not interested in sport at all. FRIENDS – we tend to do what our friends do. If they are interested in a certain sport we tend to be involved in it too. If they drop out it may affect us. Peer pressure can be very strong and can affect your decisions greatly. SOCIAL CLASS – This will be dependent on several things, employment, income level, & family background. It is a fact that fewer people from working class backgrounds take part in sport than other classes as they don’t have as much time, money or opportunity to take part. FINANCE – Sport at nearly every level costs money. The higher your level becomes the more it costs. ENVIRONMENT – Where we live will be a factor in what we do. If we live near the sea water sports would be obvious things to do, just as living in the country would enable to have more opportunity to do horse riding or rock climbing. SCHOOL INFLUENCE – P.E at school enables us to gain skills & improve our health. It enables us to develop good attitudes to sport & health. It also allows us to gain qualifications in PE as well.
- #6 Our day is made up of several aspects – work to make a living, domestic duties like washing up or taking the dog for a walk, bodily needs like sleeping , eating & washing. What is left is our leisure time. We can do whatever we choose to do to relax. Most of us do something we enjoy as it helps de-stress us whether it be in a calming way through yoga or watching TV or by releasing energy to get rid of aggression. It benefits our health by helping out physical, mental & social well being as not all leisure activities are energetic. There are many social benefits we gain by interacting with others & many leisure activities involve meeting or co-operating with others. It is not very often when you get to do your leisure activity as a job. In the case of many professional sports people this would be the case.
- #7 STEREOTYPES – This is a fixed image we have of how things should be or what they should look like. For instance girls should cook, be clean and play with dolls. This is an old fashioned image of how girls be. Boys have more opportunity than girls, some sports are unsuitable for girls, married women look after the house, sport is not a high priority for women, male sport dominates TV & papers but in contrast a lot of girls drop out of PE at school as they don’t think it’s important. Some people think that women taking part in sport will make them unattractive to men.
