Should we force children to participate in competitions?

People always talk about how important sport in our life and competitions are good chance to give your all
to win and show your skills. But, a lot of young sportsmen in the end gives up sport because of unwillingness
to continue due to psychological pressure and lack of motivation. We organised a class discussion about it
and the results were quite surprising.

Some people in the class thought that it was a good idea, but I was surprised that a lot of students were
against it, especially about children’s competitions. Towards the end of the final vote, the majority were
against it and I was of the same opinion.

Some children like sports while some don’t. Some are good at them, but some aren’t. Also, forcing someone
to do something makes it worse. It would be better to inspire children to stick to sports and healthy
lifestyles.
