Team sports help people develop a stronger character than individual sports do (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Many people claim that team sports help to build a strong character, while others think that individual sports can do it better.

In my opinion, team sports develop character better than individual kinds of sport. To begin with, each member of a team effects on game’s success and he does his best not to disappoint his comrades and coach. Besides, team sports teach how to work together and act as one. This team spirit instills essential life skills such as cooperation and mutual help. Even if it is hard, a team player will help their friend, which proves a strong personality.

Nevertheless, some people believe that in individual sports only the athlete is responsible for his actions. He works out harder because there is nobody whom he can blame for defeat, while in a team you can always throw off the blame on others.

I do not agree with this opinion, because in a team you learn how to accept your mistakes and keep pushing yourself at trainings for the sake of the team. Additionally, team sports motivate people to form not only responsibility and physical power as in individual sports, but also honesty, because they have to be sincere not to lose their cooperation in a game.

In conclusion, despite the fact that every sport is important and brings out the best in people, I believe that team sports stimulate to expand strength of character more than individual sports do.

I hope that my point of view is understandable for everybody who has read this text. Thank you for your attention.
