It’s no secret that sports are good for your physical and mental health.
Recognizing this reality, Teleperformance Portugal created a sponsorship sports program called Young Sport Talents.
Since the dawn of civilization, the connection between physical activity and productivity has been known. Sports are a physical activity that tests our athletic abilities, improves physical stamina, our reflexes, and even our mental health.

We can highlight some of the benefits like the development of teamwork skills, it provides guidance, promotes healthy competition, boosts self-esteem and in general, it builds character.
