In my opinion, extreme sports help build character. Firstly, extreme
sports, such as rock climbing, are hard to do because they need a lot of effort, attention and focus and to react and decide quickly. This leads to being physically and mentally strong, improving decision-making skills and developing character qualities such as discipline and persistence. Secondly, these extreme activities, such as parachuting, are full of emotional obstacles like fear, so a person needs to be confident and aware of their abilities. Thus, they boost self-esteem, build up confidence and improve psychological abilities as overcoming fear and being calm which create a better character.
