Tee Time for Training? Golf is a powerful training tool for teaching young people about business, says a survey by financial services company HSBC. Golf teaches youngsters valuable lessons about self-confidence, decision making and perseverance, according to “Successful Youth Development: The Contribution of Sport,” which polled 600 businesspeople. It’s not just golf but other sports as well that help children gain important skills. Nearly 70 percent argue that companies should be more involved in sponsoring or otherwise supporting local sports organizations as a way of girding young people for the competitive business environment.
