Overcoming Fears

Imagine a scenario where you’re scared of trying a new sport but decide to give it a go anyway.

Fears can be crippling yet overcoming them brings unforeseen rewards. With this prompt, engage students to imagine a sport they’re scared to try— the reason could range from its complexity, fear of failure, or pure unfamiliarity. Encourage them to write a story describing how they muster courage to give it a shot and their experiences thereafter. This prompt encourages self-confidence, resilience and determination.
