Sporting Competition?

As figures show that more and more children are overweight, the government has announced that highly competitive sports days and tournaments are to be re-introduced at schools. Under the new plans, schools will play against each other in an Olympics-style evet, with sports such as football, athletics, rugby, swimming, tennis and cycling. Winning teams will compete in sixty county competitions before going on to a national final.

For too long, schools have been avoiding competitive sports, introducing activities such as yoga, trampolining, cheerleading and dancing instead. They seem to believe that losing a race will make people feel bad about themselves. We have to realize that taking part in competitive sport is not bad for people’s self-esteem. Whether you win or lose, competitive sport teaches people to work together in a team and to try hard to be the best that they can be. These are skills which are just as important in the workplace as they are in school.

It is also hoped that the new plans will help Britain to break records in future Olympic Games.
