Many people argue that competitive sports raise numerous amounts of pressure on the youth making them distracted from things such as their education and because it can cause severe injuries, but some people argue that youth should play competitive sports because it teaches major life lessons that can help with many different aspects of their future such as college, getting a job, and many more. Playing competitive sports also improves your physical strength, another physical aspect of playing competitive sports is decreasing your chance of being obese or having disease.

I argue that kids should play competitive sports because of the important life skills taught through these sports and the physical benefit of playing sports. In this paper I will explain how communication, time management, and lowering the risk of being obese; supports my claim, “Kids should play competitive sports”

The game of football is being attacked. We see it every day in the headlines and on the news. The medical concerns are obvious. The game has taken more than its share of criticism. Even President Barack Obama said that if he had boys he wouldn’t let them play football. LeBron James publicly said no football in his house. So the question is asked all the time, Why would anyone want to play football? And why would anyone let their kids play? Here’s my answer. I believe there’s practically no other place where a boy is held to a higher standard then football. Football is hard, it’s tough, it demands discipline, it teaches obedience, it builds character. Football is a metaphor for life.

Football and soccer have never been really compared before, probably because alot of people think they dont have many similarities. But they actually have alot more in common that people think they do. Having played both sports myself i can tell you that they are very different in varius ways, but also very alike. It depends in what aspects you look at it that you can see differences or similarites. Off field soccer and football share different backgrounds. On field comparisons are never talked about but they actually have somre similarities. Yes football is more of a contact sport, and soccer more of a technique sport. But football does have technique as well, and soccer contact.

Athletes who play football share the same goal as athletes who play soccer: score the most goals to win the game. In football, there are two areas on opposite sides of the field where one can score points by bringing the football over the goal line. Soccer shares this same concept by having two nets on opposite sides of the field where one can score a point by kicking the soccer ball into the net. Also, both sports share the concept of having an offense and defense, and both sports each have eleven players on a team on the field at a time. These are only few of many similarities between these two sports, but in actuality, they are significantly different. The rules, rituals, and concepts of both sports distinguish

Let's be honest, Most sports or all sports are dangerous, there is no doubt about it, But we've got to be honest Football is probably one of the or Is the most dangerous sport in the world. Yes, I know there can other people saying, No! The hardest, toughest sport is hockey or golf. There is no doubt in my mind, that you can't tell me and say, Football isn't a dangerous sport? You're Just being a wimp or whatever. Being 100% Truthful football has killed athletes or just permanently damaged their bodies or just messed them up mentally. Do I hate football? No, I think the sport can be so entertaining to watch, you get so into you don't really think about the players, you forget that they can hurt. If you're a hardcore sports fan, your reaction will probably be like, "Get up, He didn't hurt you too bad, Just walk it off." Sometimes those people aren't wrong, sometimes in other sports, they get tapped on the shoulder and then they fall on the ground crying like they can't even go with the game, but next 3 minutes, they are perfectly fine, without any care, they just get up like nothing ever happened. Maybe they are forced to do that, but that's another conversation.

Football is often labeled as a dangerous, unsafe sport, but there are many good things that come along with playing football. In the past two weeks I have learned about the risks that accompany football. Many kids suffer with concussions and face injuries from the sport, which scares many people away.

While there is a numerous group of parents who have no problem with their child being involved in football, recent revelations would begin to grow concern in some. It is because of this we must ask, should parents disallow their children from participating in football, or should they focus on the more positive benefits that the organized sport could have?

Have you ever noticed that quitting is criticized as the worst thing you can possibly do, showing weakness, a sign of failure, and the absolute last thing you should ever do or your frowned upon, but mostly in sports? In some cases, it is worth the pain to keep pushing yourself, to face obstacles head on fearless, and knowing that your hard work will pay off and make you a stronger and the better athlete that you can be. In other situations, it is almost silly if you don’t quit. There are some definite times when you know you must leave your sport. Last school year I decide I was going to quit playing tackle football not because the change in coaching but because my heart was no longer in it, the injuries that come with the sport, and I wanted to focus on another sport.
