Children should always be able to participate in competitive sports. I don't see a problem starting children at an early age. I started playing sports when I was 7 and in my opinion, that is an appropriate age to compete in sports. We live in a competitive world, and if you don't play competitive sports when you are young, then who knows how you will react when you are older. Competing helps you understand how to handle with losing and winning. Competition motivates people to be better. It leads to success and improvement. Competition influences people to work hard and that translates to school and work.
I couldn't disagree more with the article. My brother and I were raised playing competitive sports our whole lives and we didn't turn out to be low self-esteem, non communicative people. We excel in school and we strive to get better if we fail. We understand how to cope with failure and winning and I thank competitive sports for that. Competitive sports gets children ready for the real world. This doesn't mean to force children to play competitive sports if they don't want to. I just believe its a good idea to start kids at an early age. Our society values competition and children need to learn that.
