Prevention of depression and love of movement

From childhood, parents choose which section to send their child to. Some choose aesthetic education - music, art school, early language learning. Others send their children to study sports equipment. The most popular sports that children attend from a very early age are rhythmic gymnastics, figure skating, hockey, and various types of wrestling.

Often, when choosing a section for a child, parents are guided by several reasons. The first is strengthening physical fitness. Children who play sports get sick less often and are physically stronger. The second is that boys and girls who go to the same section are more active in forming friendships and are more sociable. Why else is it worth sending your child to play sports?

Emotional stability

From an early age, children participate in various competitions. For example, the first friendly hockey tournaments begin at the age of 5–6 years. Children understand: medals and a cup are a victory, this is what they will be praised for, which means they strive to win their first trophies. Victories help children believe in themselves and feel confident. Defeats harden the nervous system. Thanks to coaches, children learn to analyze mistakes and cultivate the desire to take revenge. In addition, a number of studies show that children who played sports were less likely to experience depression and anxiety as adults.

Love for movement

Even if a child did not play sports at a professional level, but trained in a regular health group, then with a high degree of probability physical activity will remain in his life for a long time. Adults who have been involved in various sports for a long time continue to visit gyms or go jogging. For them, this is not just physical education - it is an activity that they truly enjoy.

No loneliness

Of course, sports do not turn introverts into extroverts. However, children make contacts more directly; it is easier for them to get to know each other, offer help, and start a conversation. In a sports environment, this will have to be done often - in your section, at competitions, with new coaches. As people age, it becomes more and more difficult for them to establish communication connections – this is where childhood experience recorded in the subcortex can come in handy.

Striving for self-organization

Sport is a rigid training schedule that cannot be canceled or rescheduled at will. A child's life, which includes sports, has a schedule: getting up, breakfast, school, lunch, training, walk, dinner, homework. Only something unexpected, such as illness, can interfere with this schedule. Children from a young age learn to combine the “compulsory program” and hobbies. Growing up, they are better able to organize themselves - they do not need time management courses.

Memory development

Sports training is a series of memorization and repetition; in team sports, theoretical studies, thinking about tactics are also common, and you need to be able to observe your opponent. Sports can help with school performance - of course, if training does not take up all the child’s free time.
