P2. To begin with, competitive sports have beneficial effects on children’s profiles including learning and thinking profiles. Competitive sports shape children’s way of thinking and way of learning. For instance, playing sports like soccer and basketball increases children’s reflexes and this ability helps children think faster and helps to adapt to changing situations. Competitive sports develop children’s critical thinking and teamwork abilities. Furthermore, competitive sports can motivate children who enjoy the feeling of rivalry. For example, athletes participating in competitions often push themselves harder when facing opponents. From competitive sports children can learn how to overcome from obstacles and push beyond their limits.
P3. Conversely, there are some negative effects of competitive sports that could have negative effects on children’s education too. Competitive sports can distract children from school. Like, at school a child who likes to play basketball may dream of being a basketball player and may dream of playing basketball instead of listening classes. Also, some children who struggle with kinesthetic learning and do not enjoy rivalry can get demotivated and feel oppressed. For example, a child who has no ability to do competitive sports can get bored from school more easily than other children because of these comparisons in competitive sports.
P4. In conclusion, while competitive sports have positive effects on some children’s education, it is evident that competitive sports have a negative effect on some children’s education too. This situations mostly depend on children’s profiles. Therefore, in my opinion competitive sports must be a compulsory program at younger ages but children at older ages, competitive sports should be optional program at schools.
