There are controversial arguments on whether team sports or individual sports

benefit more to players. Albeit we derive various merits from playing


individually, I am inclined to believe team sports are more advantageous.
Solo sports are believed to have both positive and negative impacts on players.
Firstly, it is clear that one-player sport enables participants to enjoy all the
success and fame. Their progressive efforts will be known and recognized under
their own name. A brilliant role model of tennis-fanatics, Roger Federer, is a
classic example for one who achieves huge success and receives tremendous
societal recognition on behalf of an individual tennis player. Furthermore,
training and competing personally can foster the independence of each player.
Apparently, it takes a lot of self-discipline to go jogging in the winter, so they
have to arrange the time and determine strategies by themselves. Nevertheless,
the failure of conquering the dispiritedness and the feeling of loneliness is an
extremely serious trouble that most people have suffered in this type of sports.
Therefore, if they can not solve this issue, giving up or quitting is inevitable.
While each kind of sports is associated with certain good points, I am of the
opinion that team sports are more advantageous. On the one hand, there is no
doubt that playing in a team requires each member to enhance team work skills.
Especially in football, a sport which is renown as “the king”, there are at least
11 different people with various opinions. They have to learn how to reconcile
conflicts and cooperate to find out the balance “rhythm” and the effectiveness in
strategy to achieve shared goals. On the other hand, during the time practicing
together as a close-knit family, they receive not only support, encouragement
but also inspiration from fellow players. It is essential to keep the fire and stay
motivated among members. As a consequence, excellent bonds will be created
and their social connection will be broadened.
In conclusion, each type of sports has its own pros and cons. Though I admit the
indispensable role os individual sports in the development of a sense of
achievement and independence, I am still convinced that it is more beneficial to
play team sports since players can enhance team work skills and stay motivated.
