Youth Sports

Starting kids playing sports at a younger is being in question which is hurtful to here. Parents are being more protective over their kids over injuries which is understanding but sports for kids is a great teacher for them. At http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/117005/the_importance_of_sports_for_the_youth.html, the user Karmatrain makes some very good points. He says, "Sports are an important teacher for youngsters, it teaches them so many things that just can't be as easily learned anywhere else. Parents can teach their children to persevere, to spit in the face of adversity, to fight the good fight and never give up, but those are lessons that really cannot be learned until they are put into practice." I agree 110 percent. Sports can teach kids how to become leaders and how to interact with their teammates to acheive a common goal . Those are very good qualities where they can not only use in sports but in the real world as well. " The star players learn how to be leaders, how to set a goal and meet that goal. How to inspire those around them to greatness and lead their peers to new heights that were thought to be unreachable. The lesser players learn a valuable lesson in commitment and perseverance. If a youngster wants to be a starter but isn't really good enough, he needs to put in extra time and practice and work to improve. The lesser players may actually learn more about life and the real world than anyone else, they learn early on that there are no free rides and they will have to earn everything they get in this world." I could not of said it any better myself. Not only does it provide kids to become friends but it gives other kids an opportunity who would be getting themselves in trouble, this is the same exact concept that we learned in class on Feburary 10, 2011.
