Individual Sports Vs Team Sports

Team sports are preferable to individual sports for developing well-rounded personalities because they require both social and personal skills. Team sports involve establishing relationships with teammates based on communication, respect, and mutual responsibility both on and off the field. They also make it easier to be committed through the responsibility to and dependence on the team. While individual sports allow personal skills to be highly developed, team sports require both social and personal skills to an equal degree, building a more balanced personality. Ultimately personal preference for a particular sport may outweigh these benefits in determining an individual's choice.

Individual sports vs team sports

While great number of people prefer individual sports over team sports, I undoubtedly prefer the
latter. Team sports are widely recognized as an excellent way for developing social skills such as
relationship management, respect towards others, working cooperatively, and also include personal skills
like self-confidence, responsibility and self-motivation. On the other hand, individual sports are mostly
known for their effectiveness on personal skills development and not so much for their social aspect.
Although it primarily depends on our personal choice, what makes team sports a more attractive election
are their benefits which are significantly better and more in number than those given by individual sports.

To begin with, doing any kind of team sports demands us to stablish a relationship with our pairs
or teammates. Going beyond the sport aspect of this relationship, which goes from good communication
and respect towards others and ends up with the need of mutual motivation and responsibility, it needs
to be supported with a friendly relationship outside the training field. Indeed, a huge amount of cases
where football players decide to leave their clubs because of personal conflicts with their partners
although the team, itself, is going through a winning streak are well known. Those examples are great
evidence showing how team sports involve both social skills and personal skills together. Contrarily,
individual sports do not have the need of stablishing this kind of relationships with others because it
mainly depends on ourselves. This is the reason why in this kind of sports personal skills are much more
trained rather than those social skills mentioned above.

Secondly, having constancy while practicing team sports seems greatly easier than on individual
sports. This assumption is based on the fact that if we are able to develop a correct sense of responsibility
and respect towards our teammates, not going to the practice or even to the competition is seen as an
action against the team and is not accepted. Something like this could end with ourselves being removed
from the team. Analyzing this situation but for individual sports gives us a completely different point of
view. On individual sports, not attending to practices only affects ourselves. Even though it is supposed
that our trainer will always be there to scold us, no one else will be affected because of our decision. This
lack of punishment may end up with ourselves giving up more easily as a consequence of not developing
those skills that team sports strictly require such as commitment to others.

To conclude, I firmly believe that team sports are completely better and more beneficial for
ourselves in order to build a balanced personality having both social and personal skills pillars well
developed. While individual sports let us develop enormously our personal skills as of the lack of need for
social skills, team sports force us to develop them both equally. Even though these facts make team sports
look extremely convenient, our personal choice based on whether we like or not a specific sport will
undoubtedly have more weight on the decision making than what was mentioned above.
