As I see it, many teens in high schools want to try out for sport. A lot of them try to get into the team because they think it not only helps to build leadership skills and relationships with other peers, but sport will also make them popular. Sport gives teens an opportunity to go out and socialise. While they may not find a new best friend, they will learn how to interact and work in close partnership as a team. Well, I must say that playing sport enables you to create friendship you otherwise might not have formed. Sport brings teens from different backgrounds, communities and schools together. Very often the friendships you create in the team remain effective even when you are not playing sport.

For a teen, it is not always easy to find time to spend with your parents. Sports give you and your parents time to appreciate one another. It’s worth playing sports together because it helps to maintain good relationships and makes the family especially close. The support of your parents helps you to feel good about yourself and strengthens your connection to them. Plus having the relatives on the sidelines when you compete is one of the most important parts of the game. It gives you a sense of unity and security.

In my view, sport has health benefits. And nowadays more and more teens are becoming overweight. Everybody knows that participating in sport maintains and improves health in many ways. To be a good sportsman, you must take care of yourself. This gets you thinking about what to eat and to drink, and how to treat your body to achieve high sport results. Joining a team sport will help them to get out and exercise without feeling pressured to lose weight or get in shape. So taking part in sport is good for teens: physically and socially. Teenagers who are physically active and play in team sports are more satisfied with their life and feel healthier.

I agree that participation in any sport, whether it’s recreational bike riding or a football match, can teach young people to stretch their limits and learn sportsmanship and discipline. However, any sport can lead to injury. Sometimes athletes get injured by overtraining or by taking a wrong turn. Often sports-related injuries can be prevented, but sometimes accidents just happen. Thus, sport can be risky.

(Tess)

I just want to say some people think that being both a pupil and a sportsman is hard if not impossible. But to my mind, this opinion is all wrong. Participating in sports can actually have a positive influence on school. Sports force you to organise your time so that you can both go to practice and finish your homework. The key is finding a balance. If you can learn to organise your time, then you can succeed in both.

(Ray)

In my opinion, professional sport is time-consuming. Teenagers work out every day and have games every weekend having little time for anything else. The pressure is really too much, and after a while teens become disillusioned with the whole sport and get tired of it. Young people can’t relieve pressure and finally say, “That’s it for me.” Moreover, the competitive, “win at any cost”, highly stressful attitude at high schools and colleges affects the world of teens’ sport, creating an unhealthy environment. Important competitive events, because of an emphasis on winning, put so much pressure on teenagers that some of them even stop doing sports.
