Some people believe that competitive sports have a positive effect on children’s education, while others believe there is no place for such sports in schools. Discuss both points of view and give your own opinion.

Do sporting activities play an important role in upgrading academic levels ? Well, the answer to this question isn't a walk in the park. While some believe that they don't, in my view sports always has a positive impact on student's education.

With competition in sports arises the never say die attitude. The fighting spirit could actually help an individual to study tough subjects in the curriculum without any major challenges.

Moreover, student also develops qualities such as hard work, planning, execution of plans, team work etc. These attributes could be best utilized during examinations as these may form the building blocks of a top notch performance.

However, some people tend to believe that competitive sports do not always have positive effects.

Firstly, playing hard in sports might give rise to anger and arrogance. A nerve wrecking situation could be development of these, ultimately causing attitude problems at a young age.

Secondly, a thought to win in any situation might get seeded in the mind. For example, consider a scenario where a person reaches untouched limits just to succeed.

Taking everything into consideration, in my opinion sports play an integral role in a student's life. Not only it generates competitiveness in them but also makes them academically strong and promise success in future.
