Some people suggest that sport helps people learn about teamwork, but others say it can encourage to be too competitive. Discuss both views and give your own opinion?

These days

sports

are common in all age groups. Some folks believe that

sports

help people in developing a skill like

teamwork

, while others say it motivates them to become more competitive. On one hand, most of the popular

sports

that are played these days like cricket, football, rugby or hockey involves

teamwork

, as they play as a

team

and not as individuals. In

this

case, the participants are expected to play as a group and lack of coordination among them can result in defeat.

For example

, in the game of football, players need to pass with each other to drive them forward toward the goal,

however

, if they go on to showcase their individual skills, they are easily stopped by the opponents. In a nutshell, games that are meant to play as a

team

needs

teamwork

than individual skills to succeed.

On the other hand

,

sports

can be competitive too.

Firstly

. The drive, resilience and hunger of a player to be the best among his/her peers is the sheer cause of

this

and

secondly

, friendly competition with the other members can help in

further

honing the skills, and

also

motivates him/her to excel

further

on a pitch.

For example

, the Indian

team

captain Virat Kohli in an interview stated, the level of practice and dedication it took, to become a player of his level and vying with the worlds best is a result of

such

cause.

However

, in a game like Cricket or Football, trying to prove he/she is the best by neglecting their teammates is a major flaw which can cause some serious issues. In my opinion,

sports

that are needed to be played as a group, coordination is an imperative skill

that is

required.

This

helps in developing the

team

as a group than focus on individual abilities.

However

, a friendly competition among themselves should be encouraged to reach their full potential. To conclude, its important to play

sports

that require

teamwork

with coordination and understanding to gain success, and friendly competition among teammates really pushes a player for an even positive impact and achieve their dream. Everyone should appreciate winning the trophy as a

team

, rather than focusing on individualistic success.
