Covid 19 has affected the mental health of EGYPTIAN SOCCER PLAYERS(TEENS) (MF, 2021). Local Last week 5th November I went to Platinum Club so I could interview some soccer players first of all I headed to the football pitch and I wanted to look for teens because I’m only going to interview teens. I study my questions well so I can ask them, the first guy I saw on the football pitch was 17 years old, he didn’t play in any club before, he just played in the club. I asked him when did he start playing soccer and he says I started playing soccer when I was 7 years old, I asked him if he had any mental issues coming from soccer, he says NO because he didn’t take football professional so he hasn’t had any stress coming from this sport.

...e their life as well as the children. The children receive a ton of pressure from their families to perform at a high level so they will feel satisfied as parents that their football player performed well.

Football, just another method to throw life away. Football is an extremely unsafe sport, yet it is glorified by several in the United States. A plethora of football players are impacted negatively by injuries that may occur just by playing an "innocent" little game of tackle football. It is necessary to consider all the dreadful outcomes that may happen before taking the chance to play. Young individuals shouldn't play tackle football due to the trauma it can cause to the brain, the injuries or occurrences that can lead to a harder life or even death, and it leaves the players to be less sharp in their old age. It is often thought that football is a harmless game for kids to enjoy. Nevertheless, the amount of health issues and injuries that can be caused by football is unbelievable and not worth the risk.
The author (“Bennet Omalu”) argues that after all the research has been done about how football is linked to brain injury, there is no question that children should not be aloud to play football. A big issue is that even if a child has no documented concussions or reported symptoms and that child continues to play

Major events would be the death of Madison Holleran.
Hours before a match, athletes in all corners of the world tend to freak out due to all the psychological factors that accompany performance in sports. Stop for a quick second and imagine becoming a Manchester United Striker or a Denver Broncos Wide-Receiver. For those who did not know already, these two positions are among the hardest in the sports world to play. Not only must the person assigned to these positions stay up until the early hours of the morning studying plays and formations so they might better assist their team come match day, but they also act as the main way the teams they play for get any points. If the expectation of being the team’s top scorers isn’t enough, they must also act as an inspiration to every other teammate that plays alongside them. Even though most people say psychological factors have no effect on an athlete’s performance in sport, athletes are negatively affected by the psychological aspects because of pre-game jitters they may experience, the relationship each athlete has with the stadium crowd, and the toll each match has on the athletes’ bodies.

Soccer is a very easily understood and exciting sport. A soccer game can change in a matter of 30 seconds. When in a football game it can take some time. Soccer is an easily likable sport and it is easily understood. Soccer is more exciting than any other sport as there are no boundaries on what you could do. The only boundary is fouling and that you can’t use your hands.
American-style football is one of the most beloved sports in the US, attracting millions with its display of teamwork and athleticism (Jones, 2024). However, beyond the thrill of the game lies underlying challenges, particularly to the mental health of its participants. In recent years, research has shed light on the elaborate interplay between American football and the players' mental well-being, revealing a complex sense of risk factors, consequences, and potential interventions (Vogt, 2023). Mental health disorders are illnesses that affect your mood, thinking, and behaviors. Some examples of mental illness are depression, anxiety disorders, and addictive behaviors (Mayo, 2022).
And because of the obvious problems with anxiety, there are a few key ways that show how treatment helps athletes out.

From the early ages in history to the present day, sports have always been an important part of society. It teaches discipline, how to be a team player, how to interact with others and is a good source of physical activity. In specific, football utilizes all of these aspects of sports and it’s a great source of teaching self-restraint and perseverance. Some may say that football is a violent sport or it’s not beneficial in any way, but in reality it gives a person the basic tools needed not only for playing the game, but also how you interact with people in society.
The European Football, or soccer, as Americans call it, is simply known as football. It is a sport played between two teams of eleven players with a sphere-shaped ball.

The purpose of the game is to score by using any part of the body besides the arms and hands to get the ball into the opposite goal.
A game of football is like life. Football is a very aggressive sport, it can be dangerous at times due to all the tackling, and slamming of bodies on the field. Life can also be dangerous because of all the different obstacles people face everyday and bad things they have to go through. There are many different ways that football and life compare, they have many similarities some in which outweighs their differences. In football there are many things going on, there are goals that need to be scored, there are players that need to block for their teammates, there are also players that need to tackle the other team because they have the ball. In life, there are also goals that have to be set, there are things in life that need to be blocked, and there are also many obstacles in life that need to be tackled. That is just three of the many similarities that life and football share.

Relieving an athlete's stress is only one benefit of playing football. it also has other health, mental, and social benefits.
