课前预习案
Background information:
团体体育:Team sports require no less than two players on each side. In team sports, every player needs to learn to trust and depend on others, to accept help and give help, and to work together to reach a common goal.
个人体育:In individual sports one player competes against other players. Players who excel at individual sports, however, find satisfaction pushing themselves to achieve personal goals rather than relying on the team to help them get there. Individual sports also need back up from a wider team.
