Competitive Organized Sports

“Children Need to Play, Not Compete,” article by Jessica Statsky convinces adults how competitive organized sports are harmful to children. First of all, Jessica Statsky explains organized sports are not always joyful. The competitiveness sucks out the fun for kids. She states, “Adults regard Little League Baseball and PeeWee Football as a basic part of childhood, the games are not always joyous ones.” Kids have to live up to parents and coaches exceptions. Competitiveness led kids into believing that they are worth for their abilities. They will, unfortunately, adopt this habits for future. However, I believe competitiveness can be beneficial to the kids. It can encourage children to excel. But this should not affect kids self-esteem.
