They might seem unconnected, but evidence suggests that learning a language can actually improve sporting performance. Language learning is like a workout for the brain and cognitive skills, and persistence and determination can improve your sporting ability. Here are some reasons why learning a language might be the next best form of exercise.

Cognition

Your brain is like any other muscle in the sense that it needs to be developed. Learning a language can cultivate that muscle by enhancing the brain’s ability to discern and distinguish objects with faster reaction times. This kind of cognitive ability can improve sporting ability.

Memory

In addition to cognitive skills, language learning can improve memory. This can be invaluable when playing sports such as tennis, football, baseball, or motorsports.

Alertness

Learning languages can also help make you more alert. It trains neural pathways in the brain that makes the body quicker at responding to stimuli in the environment.

Determination

Learning a language can also be very hard and always requires a lot of determination. This kind of persistence can be great training for how to approach your sports training.

Routine

As well as determination, another transferable skill is routine. Language learning needs to take place every day for progress to be made, just like fitness training. This can be a good way to instill those good habits.
