There has been a lot of discussion recently about competition for young
people. A lot of benefits came up in the talk.
Competition for young people can teach you many things about life. It teaches you critical thinking and discipline, these are benefits that you can develop from young age because of the sport and you still need them when you have to start searching for job. It makes you more competitive and forces you to give your best in order to be in front of the others. Several people are worried that everything has now become seriously competitive and the children should be able to enjoy sport without competition. However, team sports build team spirit like no other. Everybody wants to win but when you have whole team to play with you need to not only think about yourself but for them also. If you want to be the best you need to help your team and you need to communicate with them in order to make the best out of this group. It teaches you how to cope with criticism and to take it for a constructive one. In my view, there is no best way than sport to teach the young people the basics about the adult life. It not only teaches you to give your best and when needed to work in team but also makes you feel what is like to loose and that these things happen too. I would say that every kid should practice a sport even just for fun.
