Pressure to Win Robbing Children of Essential Life Skills
Educators and Medical Professionals Warn of Negative Impacts of Cutthroat Competition in Sports
According to educators and medical professionals, children are under a great deal of pressure to do well even when they are participating in sports. It is no longer common for kids to just goof around on the playground or play sports with friends.
Not only that, but this pressure also eliminates the "essential learning" that participating in sports would normally bring.
Little ones pick up teamwork, cooperation, and sharing skills; nevertheless, "too much cutthroat competition" and the "drive to win" can only rob them of these abilities.
The number of coaching facilities has increased, and parents are sending their kids to receive specialized instruction in sports like tennis, golf, karate, cricket, swimming, football, and equestrian activities.
Parents' expectations rise and they become more in need of their when they devote "time and money."
