Some people think that competitive sports have a positive effect on the education of teenagers while others argue that the effect is negative. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion

Throughout the years, it has been known that competitive

sports

can play an important role in an adolescent's

life

.

Although

many believe

such

activities have a positive impact on a

teenager

's development and education, others are of the opposite opinion. From my point of view, playing a sport when young can be beneficial, as it creates healthy habits.
