Some people think that extreme sports help to build character.

Different groups of people have opposite opinions about extreme sports.

Some people believe that this kind of sports can develop negative character

traits. Anyhow, nowadays there are a lot of people who keen on it.

In my opinion, doing adventure sports is much useful for a person. And it is

more preferable than sitting in front of television or computer, for example.

First of all, participation in extreme sports teaches people to cope with

difficulties, to overcome fears, to be more confident in their selves. Secondly,

sports force to be in motion, that can help to stop being lazy. Finally, it is the

best way to get rid of tension, negative emotions such as rage, anxiety, anger

and so on. Instead of it, this sport brings new energy for life, adrenaline and

positivity.

However, many people think that extreme sports can do a person selfish.

Moreover, those people who like to do something adventurous put their lives

at risk.

Although this is true to some extent, but I think, people should do in for

sports with friends in order to stop development of self-interest.

Consequently, they will develop team spirit. And I am sure if people observe

basic safety rules there will be no reasons for fear of life.

To sum up, I am strongly convinced that advantages to doing extreme sports

considerably outweigh the disadvantages. And it helps people to develop

some traits of character which can be useful in everyday life.
