Self-confidence is perhaps one of the most important characteristics in any individual. It affects a person’s way of life, and therefore must be strengthened at early stages of development. It is important to boost theself-esteem and self-confidence of your children so that they are able to reach their maximum potential in other spheres in their lives.
Sports offer excellent sources through which children (and adults too) can channel excess energy. Not only do sports work well as sources for catharsis but also help in building vital societal norms and values like teamwork, cooperation and sportsman spirit in individuals. While indulging in sports, children often forget about areas of their lives that cause anxiety.
During a game, the primary goal is to try and win. This generally takes a substantial amount of concentration and effort. By focusing greatly on the present moment, there hardly seems to be time to brood over unfortunate events of the past. Self-confidence is greatly built when the effort pays off, and the team is victorious.
When children are active they get into better habits, such as proper eating, getting sufficient sleep and body building. All of these have direct positive impact on the health of children. It is surprising how often mental issues are outcomes of unhealthy living. Self-esteem too, is dependent on how healthy you live. Every positive experience in sports has a major impact on the development of a person’s self-image and social image, both of which influence the overall self-confidence and self-esteem levels.
