Sports
, be it any kind, has an impact on children's education.
Sports
 keep children healthier,happier and mentally sustained. The intensity of
this
 impact depends upon different factors. But, anything which is over-done
also
 has its negative consequences. So, we can say that competitive
sports
 have both advantages and disadvantages regarding a child's educational career. Now, let us look at an example of a
student
, who is studying full-time and is not involved in any kind of sport.
This
 kind of
student
 often finds it difficult to socialize and is isolated from the rest of the world. After assessing his situation, one might find that his natural tendencies of communicating with other people have declined. Consider another one,
for instance
, a
student
 who is just focusing on competitive
sports
 all the time. The obvious result would be, his results will start to fall behind. He will not have knowledge about different subject matters and automatically will face problems in his career and job. So, what should be the median of both these situations?. People arguing that competitive
sports
 are important for keeping a child on his track, to make his life healthier, are right to some extent. While, other people arguing that it has negative impacts, are
also
 right as well. But, it all comes down to balance. If a
student
 knows how to balance education and
sports
, side-by-side, he will not only succeed in his career-oriented life
,
Remove the comma
apply
show examples
 but
also
, will excel mentally and physically.
