Some people believe that team sports are very important for children to succeed in their career,others

disagree ?Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Many individuals believe that for children to perform well in their career, participation in team sports is a
pre-requisite while others are of the view that mere involvement in team sports does not guarantee a
successful career. I however strongly agree with the former viewpoint as skills developed by playing team
sports are an added advantage, thereby making children stand apart from the crowd in their field of work.

Team sports are of utmost importance in shaping career of children as they inculcate in them certain
qualities right from their early age. Firstly, team sports helps children to develop ability of working in a
team with diverse set of people which is very vital for maintaining workspace environment .Secondly,
team sports help children recognize their hidden leadership skills. These leadership skills become engine
of career growth as employers round the globe are in search for people who can manage teams
effectively. To illustrate this, a line manager handling a team of software engineers earns way more than
the individual software engineers as he /she is effectively getting the work done from team.

On the contrary, certain sections of society have a view point that if a child is not having strong academic
credentials then skills learnt by way of team sports will be of no use. Moreover, children aligning
themselves more towards sports than studies end up nowhere in their career.

In conclusion, children involved in team sports perform exceedingly well in their career as compared to
children who have either little or no interest in team sports.
