Who of us under the age of 35 has not been admonished for wasting time playing video games?
But what if I told you that the sports video games that kids and young adults enjoy playing actually do have redeeming qualities?
Electronic sports games such as John Madden NFL allow the individual competing an opportunity to manage realistic in-game scenarios. Whether it is time management or the spacing and alignment of offenses and defenses, playing these games provides one with the opportunity to evaluate and analyze.
When engaged in a game and the clock is winding down, Madden can instruct one how to execute proper clock management. The player needs to decide when to implement their timeouts, when to get out of bounds to stop the clock, when to recognize there is enough time to run the football or when it is a “pass-only situation”.
