Benefits of playing competitive sports for the youngsters

It is often claimed that the evolution proceeds through competition. In this way, bringing
it to all children’s activities is a key factor in their development since not only do
adolescentes unconsciously aspire to be stronger and cleverer than others but also allow
them to use their time wisely.
During sports, teenagers can realize that the life’s path is not always linear and that some
situations do not go well as we had planned. Frequently, although we train really hard
and the scores during the preparation are achieved, on race days we are anxious and
afraid of failing and not be the best one. These kind of feelings can sometimes
compromise our performance. On the other hand, during the competition, we may have
some injury that prevents us from finishing it. However, children’s coaches teach them
to keep a positive mind and to not expect the wosrt and if the worst happens, it is because
it had to happen and it is part of the process. In this way, I suppose, as long as their life
will generally be a lifelong race, that their attitude to everyday routine will be as positive
as it is to contests.
Along with what I mentioned before, tournaments are an effetive tool to juveniles learn
how to manage their time. After long days attending classes, the students, who are also
competitors, have to practice to some challenge besides having to study. Contrarily, the
ones who come back to their homes and waste their time watching TV or playing video
games, think they always have a lot of time to study to a test, for instance. Then, when
the evaluation day arrives, these students have only studied the previous night of the
exam while the ones who are involved in sports have studied every day and are better
prepared to it. This is the perk of playing hard in both ways and only enjoy their time to
the leisure activities at weekends.
Taking everything into consideration, I believe that the greatest value of competitive
sport for the youth is the way they use the time since they realize how many points they
can achieve just by taking advantage of the opportunities they used to waste.
