Directions: Read the passage carefully. T swer the questions or complete the statts the fewest possible words.
Youth sport has the pottial to accomplish three portt objectives childr's developt. First, sport progrs provide youth with opportunities to be physically active, which lead to proved physical health. Second, youth-sport progrs have long considered portt to youth's psychosocial developt, provg opportunities to learn portt life skills such as cooperation, discipe, leadership, d self-control. Third, youth-sport progrs are critical for the learng of motor skills (运动技能); these motor skills serve as a foundation for future national sport stars d recreational adult-sport participts. coaches develop activities for youth practices d sport orizations des youth-sport progrs, they must consider the plications of deliberate play d deliberate practice.
Research from Ta (2006) states that regular participation deliberate play or deliberate practice activities durg childhood d youth (ages ne to eight) creases the likelihood of participation sports durg adulthood by six tes for both males d ales. C?té (2002) es deliberate play activities sport as those desed to maxize joyt. These activities are regulated by flexible rules adapted from stdardized sport rules d are set up by the childr or by volved adult. Childr typically ge rules to d a pot where their e is silar to the actual sport but still allows for play at their level. For exple, childr may ge soccer d basketball rules to suit their needs d viront (e.g. the street, on a playg field or someone's backyard). volved deliberate play activities, childr are less concerned with the outcome of their outcome of their behavior (whether they or lose) t with the behavior (havg fun).
On the other d, Ericsson (1993) suggests that the most effective learng occurs through volvt highly structured activities ed as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice activities require effort, produce no mediate rewards, d are motivated by the goal of provg perforce rather t the goal of joyt. dividuals are volved deliberate play, they expert with differt coations of behaviors, but not necessarily the most effective way to prove perforce. contrast, dividuals are volved deliberate practice, they exhibit behavior focused on provg perforce by the most effective s available. For exple, the d skills tnis could be learned d proved over te by playg matches or by creatg fun practice situations. However, players could more effectively prove their d perforce by practg drills that might be considered less joyable. Although the drills used deliberate practice might not be the most joyable, they might be the most relevt to provg perforce.
(Note: swer the questions or complete the statts NO MORE T T WORDS.)
78. Besides the learng of motor skills, what are the other two portt objectives of youth sport?
79. If childr participate deliberate play or deliberate practice activities, they are more likely to ________.
80. deliberate play activities, what do childr do to maxize joyt?
81. contrast to deliberate play, deliberate practice is ed at ________.

Youth sport has the pottial to accomplish three portt objectives childr's developt. First, sport progrs provide youth with opportunities to be physically active, which lead to proved physical health. Second, youth-sport progrs have long considered portt to youth's psychosocial developt, provg opportunities to learn portt life skills such as cooperation, discipe, leadership, d self-control. Third, youth-sport progrs are critical for the learng of motor skills (运动技能); these motor skills serve as a foundation for future national sport stars d recreational adult-sport participts. coaches develop activities for youth practices d sport orizations des youth-sport progrs, they must consider the plications of deliberate play d deliberate practice.
Research from Ta (2006) states that regular participation deliberate play or deliberate practice activities durg childhood d youth (ages ne to eight) creases the likelihood of participation sports durg adulthood by six tes for both males d ales. C?té (2002) es deliberate play activities sport as those desed to maxize joyt. These activities are regulated by flexible rules adapted from stdardized sport rules d are set up by the childr or by volved adult. Childr typically ge rules to d a pot where their e is silar to the actual sport but still allows for play at their level. For exple, childr may ge soccer d basketball rules to suit their needs d viront (e.g. the street, on a playg field or someone's backyard). volved deliberate play activities, childr are less concerned with the outcome of their outcome of their behavior (whether they or lose) t with the behavior (havg fun).
On the other d, Ericsson (1993) suggests that the most effective learng occurs through volvt highly structured activities ed as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice activities require effort, produce no mediate rewards, d are motivated by the goal of provg perforce rather t the goal of joyt. dividuals are volved deliberate play, they expert with differt coations of behaviors, but not necessarily the most effective way to prove perforce. contrast, dividuals are volved deliberate practice, they exhibit behavior focused on provg perforce by the most effective s available. For exple, the d skills tnis could be learned d proved over te by playg matches or by creatg fun practice situations. However, players could more effectively prove their d perforce by practg drills that might be considered less joyable. Although the drills used deliberate practice might not be the most joyable, they might be the most relevt to provg perforce.
(Note: swer the questions or complete the statts NO MORE T T WORDS.)
78. Besides the learng of motor skills, what are the other two portt objectives of youth sport?
79. If childr participate deliberate play or deliberate practice activities, they are more likely to ________.
