INTRODUCTION
Confucius said, “Competition is a fact of life. ” I believe school sports are
essential to prepare children for adult life. By referring to team sports, the
essay will show that a balance is indeed possible.
When partaking in team sports like basketball, soccer, or volleyball, scholars
have the opportunity to gain experience in what cooperation for the benefit of
the team is like. For example, individual players may have their own ideas
but have to adhere to the game plan to reach the objectives of the team as set
out by the coach.
At the same time, the individual players as a team are able to compete with
other teams. This should teach them the benefits of not being selfish and to
still have the desire and motivation to win. To be more specific, when the
team wins, this can be just as rewarding as when an individual athlete is
triumphant.
In addition, even within the context of the objectives of the team and the game
plan, individuals can excel by displaying specific skills. For example, in
soccer, players like Pelé and Diego Maradona became legends because of
their exceptional skills. However, at all times throughout their careers, they
had the self-discipline to keep in mind what was best for the team as a
whole.
I could summarize by saying that team sports are one way of achieving a
balance in teaching children cooperation as well as competition. In
conclusion, we should note that school sports have a vital part to play in
education
