It’s a well-known fact that physical activity has a positive influence on children. Also sport is significant in building a young person’s character. Sport develops valuable qualities such as self-confidence, leadership, dedication, goal setting. Self-esteem is something you gain through reaching goals, so participation in any sport gives children a sense of achievement.

Some greatest life lessons are learned in sports: “Winning does not come easy; you've got to work for it.” “When you lose, pick yourself up and try again”. Being part of a team encourages children to think of others.

Sport provides great opportunities for enjoyment.

But these positive effects can only take place if children’s sport is in the right hands. Pitifully it’s not always the case. Children’s sport has a negative side as well. Some parents, for example, pressure their kids to do what they don't enjoy. They impose sport on the children, because it’s the craze of the day, and expect too much from their kids. The interests and abilities of each individual child should be taken into account.

Some children are showing special talent at and interest in a particular sport. Their future can become brilliant. But on the other hand, some coaches exploit the talent of little sportsmen. They earn much, and it spoils them. They can ruin their health and suffer from psychological traumas.

So if a child decides to play a sport, the focus should be on the process, not on the outcome. It is not important to be the star. Winning is not the goal. The real goal is the child's mental, physical and emotional development.
