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

Nowadays

sports

are given great importance. Sportsmen and sportswomen, especially in big countries like America, Russia, China, Brazil and

others

are provided with maximum support and facilities from the government in order to become among the best athletes who can represent their nation in the Olympic games which would bring honour to their own countries. Some

sports

are played in teams while

others

are played individually. There are certain schools of thought that think that it is more advantageous to participate in

sports

which are played in teams because playing in a squad will help the individuals to develop certain values and discipline like teamwork.

For example

, in football, it is a prerequisite for the

players

to work together as a

team

in order to give their best when they are on the pitch.

In addition

, it becomes easier for individuals to attain their aims when they worked together as a

team

because the whole

team

would be likely to give their best so as to reach their goal,

for instance

, if all the football

players

of Manchester United club aims are to become the number one

team

in the world

then

it is possible to make

this

dream come true if all

players

work as one

team

.

However

, some people think that taking part in individual

sports

is much better.

This

may be true to some extent as being alone will encourage that person to give his or her best in order to win and not rely on other

team

members, in a sense,

this

will discourage the feeling of reliance on

others

. That individual can become the best version of himself or herself.

Moreover

, taking part in individual

sports

tends to avoid issues like having to listen to each and everyone’s opinions and views which are quite time-consuming ,especially during important matches. To conclude, I would rather prefer

sports

which are played in teams as

this

would enable the

players

to develop several vital skills like respecting each other views, having patience with the

team

members and amongst

others

. These skills if inculcated in children at a very young age via

sports

would enable them to be an asset to society.
