Pressure and sports
' Children feel pressure in many areas of their lives As they grow up, they feel pressure from their peers to conform, from their teachers to pass exams, from friends to join them in play, and from parents to be well behaved and well dressed
Trang 2children are pressured into participating in sports The approach taken in the study was to ask the children themselves how they felt At first the researcher wasn’t sure that they would be able to express themselves and talk about their feelings well enough for the research to be useful, but he found the opposite; most children were very able to explain effectively how they felt
* The findings show that many of the children did experience negative pressure from their parents 30% of them said this 20% said they felt very uncomfortable as a result of the pressure In total, this means up to 75,000 children in Sweden feel pressure from their parents about sports—a huge number in a small country If this is the same around the world, millions of children are feeling pressure about something that should be a fun part of their lives
> The pressure seems to be greatest in expensive sports like golf and horseback-riding The expense can come in the form of money or in the form of time So if a sport takes up a lot of family time, there is higher risk of parents pressuring the child This happens in sports like swimming, for example, as it often involves traveling
° The researcher was interested in finding out why some children were not affected It appears that this depends on the attitude of the parents If parents are aware of the child’s feelings about their participation in sports and are sensitive to them, this can lead to a happier outcome If not, the child may end up playing the sport for the wrong reason—to make their parents happy rather than themselves The message for parents, then, is to focus on the developmental goals of participating in sports—gaining self-confidence, physical fitness, improving social interaction and so on—rather than focusing only on winning and becoming the best
1 What are two different types of pressure children feel? A to win competitions and to have lots of friends B to do well in exams and to behave correctly
C to have lots of friends and to behave correctly D to do well in exams and to win competitions
2 Who are children under pressure from in sport? A _ parents and friends B parents C coaches and parents D — other children 3 What is the researcher’s other job? A Olympic coach B Olympic athlete C physical education teacher D team captain
4 What problem did the researcher think he would have?
A — 75,000 children in Sweden would be too many to interview B parents would pressure their children too much
C children would be too busy playing sport
D children wouldn’t be able to explain themselves 5 What causes parents to pressure their children more?
