Is your child growing up and you want to choose a sports section for him? Do you dream that your child will become a sports star? Then you better understand in advance what the pros and cons of the most common sports are. First of all, it is worth understanding that behind the multimillion-dollar contracts, world and Olympic medals, streams of tears, sweat, and often the blood of a champion are hidden. Professional sports is an ordeal that not every adult will endure, let alone a child's psyche.
The list of the most professional sports for men includes football, hockey, and martial arts. Parents of girls usually want their daughter to do an individual sport: figure skating, swimming, gymnastics.
There are also “expensive” sports that can help your child develop business relationships. Best example: tennis.
Individual sports
Individual athletes' contracts tend to weigh more than most athletes on teams. On the other hand, paying for a coach for your child in figure skating, tennis or swimming will be a major expense and a weighty item. If you don't have a lot of money and still believe in your child's winning character, you can enroll him in a less expensive sport. Gymnastics and martial arts are sponsored by the state, there are many schools like CYSS (children and youth sports), functioning at the expense of the municipal budget.
Competition in most "inexpensive" sports such as athletics (running, throwing shells) is great, and the costs are also rather big. Money is needed both for the purchase of equipment (heart rate sensors, weights), and for adherence to a sports diet.
Gymnastics (one of the most dangerous types, children often injure the neck or spine), boxing, and freestyle wrestling should be classified as traumatic. After giving your son / daughter to one of these sections, you will likely see him often with fractures, bruises or bruises.
It may be wise to opt for Rugby Sevens. There is less competition in it, and the loads are high.
Team sports
Among the team sports, the most dangerous is football. This game involves frequent contact with unprotected players at high speeds. Children rarely think about safety on the field (in the heat of the game, adult professionals often forget to do this). In the event of a major collision, the child may need major surgery (and costly). Lack of funds for it will mean an end to the child's professional career.
In volleyball and hockey, there are fewer injuries (in the first - due to the lack of direct contact with opponents, in the second - due to heavy protective equipment). Being engaged in these sports professionally, the child will receive both from a physical and emotional point of view - team qualities that are useful for personality formation.
