Boys, Girls, and Sports Essay by Jenna

Many boys think they are better at girls at sports but I disagree. Adults always tell kids that it is not about winning or losing. I think it is all about fun. To be honest sometimes I do get mad when I lose but I just have to remind myself that I played hard and it is all about fun! For example in gym class, boys use to jump up and down and shout. But that makes the girls feel like they are not good.

Many boys think they are better than girls at sports but I disagree. Someone said that if a boy tried to do the uneven bars in gymnastics they would fail. I disagree with him because I think all it takes is practice, effort and time. For example when I first started basketball I was not good at it. But then I put some effort in to it and I became good at basketball!

Many boys think they are better than girls at sports but I disagree because I believe that girls can play any sport than boys can play. We can play sports just as well as boys can play. For example my brother and I both play soccer. We started soccer at the same time and our skills are the same. Another example for our skills is that we both can play defense, midfield, offence and goalie. We can both do the side circle trick. We are also twins. Because we both put in the same amount of effort into soccer. We also play soccer together in our backyard.

Many boys think they are better than girls at sports but I disagree. It might make the girls feel like they are bad. The girl might feel like she is trying her best but someone else might think it was pathetic. For example when I was little I played soccer. Once at soccer practice I was dribbling the ball up the field some crazy kid came charging at me. He kicked the ball it was stuck in the middle of our feet. He got it out and I fell and everyone was laughing at me. I felt like I was not good enough.

Many boys think they are better than girls at sports but I disagree. Because sometimes boys don’t give girls a chance.  For example in gym class boys would keep on passing the ball to their friends or the best boys on the team. I think it is not fare to the girls because the boys are not giving us girls a chance.

Many boys think they are better than girls at sports but I disagree because sometimes they might have not even seen you play a sport before and expect to be better than you. For example at gym class the boys used to never pass to the girls. I’m guessing it is because they would think the other team would get the ball right away. But after a while I did not like it. Also boys think they are rougher. But I think you do not have to be rough to be better at a sport than someone. Another small reason is that many girls are going to the Olympics for example a sport is gymnastics.

So remember those five things it is not about winning or losing, it takes practice, girls and boys can be equal, don’t give up and show boys that girls can be just as good at any sport as boys. Just keep in mind that I am not talking about every single boy thinks they are better than girls at sports. Those are some reasons why boys should not think that they are better than girls at sports.
