For children, and some adults, a fear of sports might be linked to several other root causes including a fear of failure, a fear of losing, or fear of getting hurt. All of these fears and insecurities might contribute, or even combine, into a fear or phobia of sports.
A fear of participating in sports can cause damaging problems in children that can have a ripple effect onto all aspects of their lives. They can become isolated from their peers to whom sports are a form of camaraderie and how they build and develop relationships with one another, and it can escalate into an unhealthy lifestyle, if kids don’t get the exercise and fresh air that they need. Both of these could lead to insecurities, anxiety and stress over lost relationships, poor self-esteem, or poor self-image.
So how can you tell if your child is struggling with an overwhelming fear or phobia of sports? Chances are that it’s pretty easy to tell – however, you may be mistaking the signs and symptoms with your child being disagreeable, or simply not wanting to participate or listen to directions. If your child has gotten injured while playing sports in the past, their chances of developing a fear of sports are higher, so being mindful of that fact when assessing your child’s behaviors is key.
They might be experiencing nausea, stress-induced headaches, sweatiness, or shaking when around sports, asked to participate in sports, or even at the thought of taking part in any sports activities. If this sounds like your child, it’s probably time to think about taking them to a professional for an evaluation and to learn more about how to heal.
