Team sports

Now， more and more people like doing sports which can make them feel relaxed and energetic. Doing sports is a healthy lifestyle and it can build up our body. Do you prefer team sports or individual sports？ Team sports are a kind of sports which need each player work together， such as football， basketball and baseball. With the improvement the awareness of team work， team sports are more and more popular. Compared with team sports， individual sports emphasize personal interest but they ignore the importance of cooperation. Team sports can improve peoples awareness of cooperation and open-mindedness.

Whatever you do， cooperation is the important factor. Team sports are good choice and you can develop the ability of cooperating through them. In “why China needs soccer and team sports” （China Daily， May 26， 2015）， for a sports team， every player is important and they should learn to cooperate with each other and share their experience and something inspiring rather than only lay the greatest emphasis on their own interests. Eventually， they will learn mediation， judgment， foresight and to take the responsibility to do something they are requested through team sports. In a team， players know they may not the fastest or the strongest， but they are sure that they have the special skills which others dont have. They know the selves and other team members advantages and disadvantages. So， they can enjoy and cooperate with each other better and form an inspiring consciousness of cohesion in sports. They not only help people know how to cooperate with others but also develop peoples ability of leading. People can lead and cooperate with team members during a sport competition.

Another reason is team sports can improve peoples open-mindedness. Open-mindedness is generally considered an important ability for effective participation in a team. Firstly， in a team， people can take contingent measures according to the emergency and they can give some advance advice for team. In other words， team sports can develop peoples imagination and creation. They can make team members think more， inspire their potential and improve their ability of solving problems. Secondly， team sports can make people develop their communication ability. On one hand， they can improve the communication ability. For example， when team members have different opinions in a competition or train， they need to communicate with each other to express their own opinions and they have to choose the best measure to take. With the communication skills learnt in team sports， people can communicate with their peers better and people can communicate with their peers better and avoid unnecessary contradictions. On the other hand， they can improve the communication ability between coaches and athletes. If athletes want to achieve， they must communicate with their coach to ask for advice. Its very important that coach and athlete have a better understanding in communication management. If they dont have effective communication， athletes will dont have progress and coaches dont have achievement. Communication helps in making a person feel accepted and enhances the capability in creating a relationship that helps in improving ones self-respect （Aznan 6）.
