You made a good point there with stating that sports help develop honesty, self control and teamwork. I agree with them because I feel you get these great qualities from sports and they are life skills that everyone needs
ReplyDeleteYou made some good points here such as how sports help people deal with the fact of losing or winning. I agree with this because the more I win or lose in a game. The better I handle the cituation of the outcome.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with your statement about how through the popularity of sports people are emphasizing the importance of education. Due to in my research I found that colleges are cutting non-commercialized sports and people are getting mad because they are spending money on scholarships instead of for kids with a great education.

The comment of Physical education and development that run parallel to sports promotes healthy habits that lead to long-term success in the future. This comment made me realize that some sports can help tremendously in the develoment of childrens' lives. It made me realize this because such sports like wreslting takes a lot of dicipline with cutting weight and eating right so you don't gain weight and you can still wrestle at your weight class.
