be utilised in other important works. I am not completely in agreement with the above said view. In

this

Linking Words

essay, I will focus on how watching sports helps in overall development of a human being by giving examples. We cannot ignore the fact that playing sports inculcates the moral values in sports person. A player tends to be more self-disciplined, focussed and are often good at team work.

For example

how the teammates are taking decisions as a team, how they are working for each other goals, how they are supporting each other, and many more. Concluding the fact that watching sports can result in a person acquiring better management skills not only in their workplace but even in their day to day life.

However

, it is always a better idea to have active participation in sports and experience it on an individual level to get a better idea of the situation one faces rather than doing it in a passive way.

For example

help in enhancing skill. So in conclusion, I would say watching sports have many advantages,

it is not as well as actively participating in it. But at the same time it is a lot more beneficial given the other unproductive works people tend to indulge in during their leisure time like watching tv soaps.
