Individual sport is a sport in which participants compete as individuals, while a team sport includes any sport where individuals are organized into opposing teams which compete to win. Admittedly, some people prefer to participate in team sports, which can benefit them to communicate and cooperate with others. However, as far as I am concerned, individual sports have more advantages than team sport.

 

Firstly, people would have more flexible schedule when participating individual sports. Team sports involved different people who may have diverse schedule, as a result, sometimes it is hard to find appropriate time to meet together and training. Individual sports, on the other hand, a person can take exercise whenever himself has time to do so. For example, last semester, I joined a football team which needed to train together constantly. The problem was the team member came from various majors. Finally, we found it difficult for us to meet and train together when all of us didn’t have classes. However, one of my friends just had a very efficient training and study plan with all kinds of things fit in. Owing to the team training, sometimes I had to skip the class which made me frustrate when I felt I didn't understand some parts well. Had I just chosen an individual sport like running, I would relax myself whenever I needed and I would arrange my schedule pretty well which might preserve me more time to do the things I wanted, such as learning coding.

 

Secondly, individual sports give a person more chance to establish new friendships. Admittedly, some people like team sports because this work out gives them chances to participate with others and at the same time develop deep friendship. However, individual sports can create more friendship. In a team, people just training with the team members whenever they have time. While individual sports give a person an opportunity to meet friends from different areas. For instance, after I began my running, many unfamiliar strangers finally became my friends. I chose different time and route for my long-distance running, sometime crossed through the city. While I was running, some other people also running at the same time. More importantly, we shared the same speed, so when we felt tried and talked to each other. Not only did I learn how to exercise better, but also develop friendships with them. The same things happened again and again when I chose different destinations. As a result, I made friends from different areas and diverse background.

 

In conclusion, participating in individual sport is a better choice for both the students and workers who have a very tight schedule. Additionally, individual sports give everyone a better chance to make friends with different strangers, which is pretty memorable and interesting.
