Some
people think that children’s sports should be played just for fun, not for
competition. However, in my opinion, it is more important to get a competitive emotion
in sports. This is because competition helps children inspire to develop their
ability and to get a sense of accomplishment.
To begin with, sports in competition make
children to grow. In sports, winning is very crucial part. So children who want
to win the game have to make hard efforts to develop their ability and to get
grown themselves. They would do self-discipline, build their own rule, learning
how to unify with their team, and it must be helpful for their whole lives. For
example, Michael Jordan, who is known as having very high pride and strongest competitive
spirit said that what makes him such a greatest basketball player in the world
was competitive spirit which was stronger than any other person. And Kobe Bryant,
who is also known as a contemporary greatest basketball player and once was called
“post-Jordan”, also demonstrates in his passionate play that high competition
makes great athlete, and great person.
On top of that, competition is densely connected
with sense of accomplishment. If one child wins the game, he will get more
sense of accomplishments. And the more senses of accomplishment he experience,
children would know accomplishing something is happy, and it makes them how to
be happy. Consequently, children’s sports make children to learn to be happy. For
instance, one research conducted in The University of Tokyo founded that people
who have high sense of accomplishment responded they satisfy their lives and
feel happy than who have low of ones. And this study also shows that high-sense-of-accomplishment
person had a tendency that they earn more income, have good relationships of
peers and high self-esteem.
To sum up, competitive sports makes children
stimulates to grow successful person who are great experts in their whole lives,
and also cultivate children’s whole lives as happy by teaching that achievements
something is related to their well-being. In this regard, I think it is better
for children to play sports to compete rather than just for pleasure. |
