An Ode to Sports

Why all children should engage in sports

There are very few experiences left in childhood that offer the truth.
Watching athletes excel in all aspects of life is proof.
 
Whether it is recreational or competitive,
Athletics can teach you how to live.
 
The habits of exercise, good nutrition and practice,
Make a work ethic that can never miss.
 
As in life, the results of a game are never manufactured.
Rather than chat gpt, this is what all kids should master.
 
A game can echo the ups and downs of parenting.
There is nothing gentle about winning or losing.
 
The point isn’t that of course,
It is understanding that you yourself have a force.
 
You learn to drive forward regardless of outcome.
Since you know that it is only your effort that keeps you from number one.
 
Sports also reminds you that life is emotional.
Anxiousness, elation and heartbreak are all normal.
 
Growing up in this world can be rough.
Sports reinforces your ability to be tough.
 
So let them play.
They will undoubtedly thank you one day.
