Playing sports is very popular among teenagers these days because we have a wide variety of choices we can choose from. First of all it is in our favor whether we want to play in team sports or individual sports. Each one of them has its advantages of course.
The first point I would like to make is that there are strong advantages in playing in individual sports.
Firstly, individual sports can be more lay back activities. That means that you get to choose whether you want to give your all in that sport or just do it for fun. For example we have bowling.
It is a fun sport or activity, that is all up to you. Do you want to go to practice everyday for that sport and take part in competitions, or just play it as a fun activity with friends on a Friday night.
Although if you choose that you want to devote yourself then needless to say you know you can concentrate a lot more if you are an individual. You have no distractions that can get in your way.
Even though individual sports have strong advantages, playing in team sports have more compelling advantages.
One benefit is that you can meet a whole lot of new people including your new team mates when you join a new team. Or whenever you play a game you can also meet the friends of your team mates that have come to support your team. Granted you can have a big circle of friends.
In addition of playing in team sports you can be sure that it can lots of fun. Also the devotion is priceless. If you are truly devoted in this team than you have to show up in every practice if you don't want to let your team down. And this devotion leads to great character development. To illustrate these advantages, let's say you're in a basketball team. You have new friends and they are all counting on you to play good for the next big game. Therefore you have to devote yourself to go to every practice for the big day. When the day finally comes you see your family and friends supporting you and your team simultaneously with the cheering crowd. It is a great feeling.
I personally have taken part in individual sports and team sports. I can clearly see how individual sports can be better for some people,for me however I can say that I am a team player. I love being devoted in my team and go to team practices. At the same time I consider myself as an adventurous person so I have no problem in having a big circle of friends.
