Parents often face the question of which sports section to send their child to. Today there are a huge variety of sports and it is not always easy to choose which sport to send your child to.
Today we will talk about the "queen of sports" and about what it is useful for children, and why it is worth giving your child to athletics.
Culture of behavior
This is the point I decided to put in the first place. You ask, what does the physical development of the child and the culture of behavior have to do with it? And I will answer you that in almost all sports, with rare exceptions, there is no culture of behavior.
This means that do not be surprised if your 8-year-old son, whom you send to football or boxing, starts cursing like a vocational school student and insults everyone who is not lazy. Unfortunately, most coaches in football and many types of martial arts do not instill in their wards respect for opponents. And as a result, the desire to win in children goes beyond all boundaries. They project the same behavior in everyday life.
I watched the coaches of many sports, and the culture was taught only by the coaches leading the sections of wrestling, judo and athletics. Of course, I am sure that this is also present in other sports, but I have not seen it. The rest most often demanded aggression, speed, strength from their wards, but not respect. And in terms of athletic performance and motivation, it works. But at the same time, the child himself does not get better from this.
Fedor Emelianenko is a vivid example of how you can be a fighter and the most dangerous person on the planet, and at the same time respect every rival, be cultured and honest.
Therefore, athletics is attractive primarily because coaches are trying to instill a culture of communication and behavior in their wards. And it's worth a lot.
General physical development
In principle, many sports can boast of a comprehensive physical development. Play laser tag or rock climbing - everything develops a child. And athletics is no exception. Track and field training is designed in such a way that the child develops all the muscles in the body, improves coordination, endurance, and strengthens the immune system. Coaches try to turn any workout into a game so that physical activity is perceived very easily. Usually these games are so exciting for children that they can run and jump for hours without noticing fatigue.
Availability
Athletics is taught in almost every city in our country. No wonder she was called the "queen of sports" because other sports are always based on the basic training of athletics.
The athletics sections are usually free. The state is interested in the continuity of generations in this sport, because at international competitions we are always considered favorites in many types of athletics.
Diversity
In each sport, the child chooses his own role. In football, he can become a defender or a striker, in martial arts he can have an advantage in the power of a blow, or vice versa, be able to hold any blows, thereby choosing his own strategy of combat. In athletics rich selection of subspecies... This is long or high jumping, running for short, medium and long distances, pushing or throwing objects, all-around. Usually, the child first trains according to the general program, and then begins to manifest himself in one form. And then the coach prepares him directly for the desired form.
Usually, more fat guys are put on pushing or throwing. Hardy runners run medium to long distances. And those with innate power run smooth sprints or hurdles or jump. Therefore, everyone will find a load for themselves, depending on what he likes best and what nature has given him. In this regard, athletics surpasses other sports, because nowhere else is there such a rich choice.
I will not talk about the fact that your child will definitely find friends in this section and that he will become self-confident, because almost any sport gives it. The main thing is that the child himself wants to study, and then he will be able to achieve any results.
