1. What are the key differences between team sports and individual
sports?
In individual sports one player competes against other players. Players who are good at individual sports find satisfaction pushing themselves to achieve personal goals rather than relying on the team to help them get there. But even individual sports also need back up from a wider team.
Team sports require no less than two players on each side. In team sports, every player needs to learn to trust and depend on others, to accept help and give help, and to work together to reach a common goal.
