Some people think that it is more beneficial to take part in sports which are played in teams, like football, while other people think that taking part in individual sports, like tennis or swimming, is better. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Sports

play an essential role in developing both mental and physical health as well as maintaining a youthful appearance. Many individuals take part in

team

sports

while others prefer to compete as solo athletes. Personally, I subscribe to the view that

team

games bring greater benefits to players. On the one hand, people who join

team

sports

have an opportunity to learn various useful skills

such

as teamwork and cooperation skills, which are necessary for their future career.

Sports

such

as football or basketball teach the players how to work together effectively in a

team

environment.

In particular

, each person in the group can

also

learn how to collaborate with other

team

members and reach common goals.

On the other hand

, it is obvious that solo

sports

also

have their advantages. Individual

sports

such

as tennis and swimming are great to stimulate independent thinking and self-confidence.

Furthermore

, they

also

encourage people to think quickly and take responsibility for their decisions. According to some research, children playing squads are believed to rely much on their teammates and their success leans on their

team

’s effort and cooperation.

Hence

, they tend to find it hard to make decisions on their own when asked to perform a task given individually.

By contrast

, people who work alone in games have to try their best to achieve the goal by their self-effort, concentration and hard-working. In conclusion,

although

solo

sports

do have their benefits, I am convinced that members of

team

sports

gain more advantages in mental and physical aspects.
