Some people believe that team sports are very important for children to succeed in their career, while others disagree. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Arguments

Suggestion

The arguments

are still ongoing about the role of sports in the

future

of a

child

. While it is believed by some that

team

sport is required in order for a

child

to attain success in their chosen field, others believe that sports

such

as football have nothing to do with a

child

's life

career

. In my opinion, I agree with the former assertion for a number of reasons. On the one hand, I believe that a

child

engaging in sport is necessary because it helps in the development of life skills. When a young one plays a game

such

as a basketball or a football with his classmates, not only will the

child

learn how to tolerate other people, the

child

will

also

learn: communication skills, leadership skills and ability to interact well with others. These skills are highly essential for a

child

's

career

in the

future

as

this

puts him ahead of his counterparts and sets him on the right path to succeeding in his chosen field.

For instance

, according to the recent report published by The National Mirror, children that participate in sports have a higher chance of excelling in their work than others.

This

places more emphasis on how important

team

sports is to a

child

's

career

.

On the other hand

, there is no link between a

child

's

career

and

team

sports

instead

, children that engage in sports turn out

being

to be

school dropouts. There is a high chance for a

child

to concentrate solely on these games and skip classes,

consequently

, affecting the

child

's grades.

This

also

halts the chances of getting a good job in the

future

.

Furthermore

, sports could be so competitive and if a

child

does not excel well as his other counterparts,

this

could affect the

child

academically and even psychologically.

For example

, Timmy dropped out of school at the age of 18 to face a

career

as a footballer, not only did he fail woefully, he

also

wasted his youthful years.

This

would have been avoided if he was properly counselled about the importance of focusing on his studies than

on

used of a single unit or thing; not two or more

one

sport. In conclusion,

although

games

such

as football help to build skills important for a

child

to succeed in the

future

, it could

also

result in a high rate of school dropouts. In my opinion, I believe that games played in the

team

should be encouraged as it places a

child

at a higher advantage than his mates.
