in any discipline is becoming increasingly difficult. This then means that many people with great skills

Example Paragraph: Competition

Sports has become increasingly competitive. The lucrative sports career


attracts so many prospective sportsmen that making it even to a local
team in any discipline is becoming increasingly difficult. This then
means that many people with great skills and unequal ambition have to
wait in line even to be considered for a place. Does it even matter what
you can deliver on a playing field when you cannot even make it to the
trials because of thousands of aspirants waiting for a lucky break?
Therefore, competition in sports can never be ignored when pursued as
a career.
Competition-psychological pressure-Injuries

It is obvious in light of the above arguments that a player needs fortune


to be on his side to call himself successful. In a world of sports flooded
with competition, physical injuries and psychological pressure
sometimes a player faces circumstances that are beyond human
control. It is because of these factors that I believe that a player cannot
rely on skill and determination only, to make it to top in any sports.
