ARE SPORTS BAD FOR KIDS?
People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and children stay healthy while playing with
others. However, playing sports can have negative effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor
self-esteem or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40 million
kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18 million say they have been yelled at or called names while playing
sports. This leaves many children with a bad impression of sports. They think sports are just too
aggressive. Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too
much aggression in children’s sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior. This
behavior is then further reinforced through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are
powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively
themselves, sending children the message that winning is everything. At children’s sporting events,
parents may yell insults at other players or cheer when their child behaves aggressively. As well, children
may be taught that hurting other players is acceptable, or they may be pushed to continue playing even
when they are injured. In addition, the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports
games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.
As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches
should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better values. They should
teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It is not necessary to knock yourself out to
enjoy sports. Winning is not everything. In addition, children should not be allowed to continue to play
when they are injured. Sending a child with an injury into a game gives the child the message that health
is not as important as winning. If we make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports
again. (Adapted from Reading Challenge 2 by Casey Malarcher and Andrea
