Why sport is more important than music

Why sport is more important than music. I believe that sport is more important than music because in sport you get lots of fitness from running, jumping etc which is good for you. You also get strength from lifting and pulling etc. Sports teaches you how to work as a team and you make heaps of friends.

Sports is hand coordination throwing, lifting, passing and other stuff it makes your hands very strong. It also makes your legs very strong. It also gets you in the fresh air instead of sitting inside all day doing nothing.

Music is mostly about the money but with sports you can enjoy yourself because it is fun and makes you happy. With music you just stand there getting no fitness. In music you do not work as a team and if you are a singer you get selfish.

Sports is part of a student's growth and development. Sports is very important for kids and adults. Scoring a Try, hitting a six or winning a race not only makes a student happy but also it boosts their confidence and they want to keep doing what their doing. Sports is not always about winning. It is about fair play and believing in yourself.

Outdoor sports like rugby, cricket, tennis, swimming, running, etc, keeps the body and mind active and engaged. While sports not only help in developing physical and mental health, it also develops the life skills of a student’s personality.

That is why sport is more important than music.
