People think children should play sports.Sports are fun,and children keep healthy while playing with others.However,playing sports can have
50
effects on children.It may produce feelings of poor self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children.According to research on kids and sports,40,000,000 kids play sports in the US.Of these,18,000,000 say they have been
51
at or called names while playing sports.This leaves many children with a bad
52
of sports.They think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults,especially parents and coaches,are the main
53
of too much aggression in children抯 sports.They believe children
54
aggressive adult behavior.This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negeative feedback.Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them.Often these adults behave aggressively themselves,sending children the message that
55
is everything.Many parents go to children抯 sporting events and shonut
56
at other players or cheer when their child behaves
57
.As well,children are even taught that hurting other players is
58
or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured.
59
,the media makes violence seem exciting.Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.
As a society,we really need to
60
this problem and do something about it.Parents and coaches
61
should act as better examples for children.They also need to teach children better
62
.They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively.They should teach children to
63
themselves whether they win or not.Besides,children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured.If adults allow children to play when injured,this gives the message that
64
is not as important as winning.

To Be Lucky,Be Prepared
I remember the exact moment I learned the principle of preparing for luck.
I was on the wrestling team.Now,if there’s one thing I can tell you about any sports,it is that wrestling is probably the sport that has the least
1
.There are only two people out on the mat,so you cannot
2
it on your teammates or your coach.And guess what?There is no
3
because we do the whole thing indoors,so you can’t say,“It was raining.” or “It was snowing.” It makes
4
to say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.
On our team were two world champions:one of them had been world champion five times.We
5
had five people who were national champions.One of them was a guy
6
the name of John.
John had never been
7
in my high school wrestling competition that I could remember,
8
he was a national champion.There was nobody locally who could touch him.
One day,we
9
a match with our biggest opponent(对手).John went out on the mat,and about a minute and 30 seconds into the match he tried to make a particular
10
.He rolled over,and his opponent
11
him halfway through his roll.He was pinned
12
!
The match was over.
I remember on the bus on the way home,one of our teammates tried to
13
John by saying,“Oh,he just got lucky.” And John said,“That’s so stupid.The opportunity presented itself,
14
he exploited it.”
We used to have this big sign in our wrestling room,that the coach had
15
there.“Luck is what happens when opportunity
16
preparation.”
John’s opponent was prepared to exploit this opportunity.The probability of
17
John was not strong,and he knew it.But he paid attention to the
18
opportunity to present itself,and he defeated and pinned a fivetime national champion.
In other words,the real
19
is Be Prepared.It’s not just finding the opportunity;you have to be prepared to
20
it.
