Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) also known as Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) was changed to such because as people have become more aware of what this disorder truly means - there have been some major changes. 

When you hear the word personality you reflect upon the individual's actions, behavior, mood, etc. A patient with DID lacks one way of acting, they circulate throughout multiple personalities. 

A reason for changing this is to highlight that the problem is not multiple personalities, it's the fact they do not possess a unified one.

Hope this helps!

Builds healthy habits – No one expects to eat three cheeseburgers and fries and then go out and set a personal record at a track meet. Coaches encourage athletes to eat properly before and after races. You perform better and feel better when you have proper nutrition during training. A healthy diet allows you to perform to the best of your abilities, so when you are running track you tend to have a more healthy diet.

Promotes teamwork – Track is an individual as well as team sport. How you perform affects the team, especially in situations such as relay races. All four members are equally important in the race. Each plays a role in the team’s efforts to win. If even one runner does not perform at his best, the whole team may suffer or have to compensate to make up for his weakness.

In addition to this team bond at track meets, friendships are formed during practices. Runners are expected to train daily and have to endure workouts together. This forms bonds that help make the team stronger.
