collaboration and team efforts bring development in a child which is essential for the success.
This learning of the team building can be applied by the students in the education while doing
the assignment and studies. The team learning will help the children and youth to learn
differently from different experiences.
The passion of children- There are many children who are passionate about the sport which
helps them to become a sportsperson in the near future. The research reflects that the children
who are interested in the sports emphasis more on physical activities and less on education. This
directly affects the study which is required to be completed by the student for their personal and
career development (Kenney, Wilmore & Costill, 2015). Disagreeing to this, some of the
researchers reflect that today's education system makes the student emphasise more on their
mental development which makes them reject physical activities.
The negative effect of sports and education

negative effect on the lives of children which include the occurrence of injuries. These injuries
include plate strains, sprains, repetitive motion and majorly the head and spine injuries will
expressively affect a person’s cognitive abilities. Though, sports are becoming an essential
component of one’s life (Cardinal, Yan & Cardinal, 2013). The more stress on the education by
the student leads to the development of groups of professionals and graduates with the weak
bodies and the poor physique. The curriculum is essential for the development of the children
which include sports, games and education related to physical health for all-round developments
of the students.
