??Some young children spend a great amount of their time practicing sports.Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this. Use specific reasons andexamples to support your answer.
Most kids love to play sports. It’s important to them, but for the majority,it’s just one type of activity out of many that they do. For a small number ofkids, though, a sport becomes their whole life. They spend almost all their timeand energy practicing. This has both advantages and disadvantages.
Sports are good for young children in many ways. Kids who enjoy sports arelikely to have better health. They develop good habits of daily exercise thatwill keep them healthy as adults, too. Today, many children and adults areoverweight, but those who love sports stay in shape. Plus, by developing theirphysical abilities, they will learn how
to work hard towards a goal. Theirachievements in sports will make them feel good about themselves. They’ll alsomake friends and learn teamwork. Sports, whether a little or a lot, can havepositive effects.
We admire the talent and dedication of young athletes, but we also wonder ifthey’re losing something. Their focus is very narrow. If they devote most oftheir time to sports, are they neglecting schoolwork? What about otherinterests? Children should try out many different activities. In addition, manyyoung athletes are pressured by parents or coaches to succeed. Kids whose drivecomes from inside usually do okay, but others can be unhappy and have health andemotional problems. So sports, like anything else in excess, can have negativeeffect too.
When I was young, I liked books and hated sports. I saw other people wholoved sports and hated school. Now that I’m older, I’ve found a better balance.People have to figure out what’s right for them. Is there such a thing as toomuch sports? There is no right answer, because there is no “right amount.”Everyone is different.
