SPORTS

By Yashovardhan Dutta (III C)

1. “Oh! Be a Sport”, “Sporty”, “He/She is Sportsmanlike” or “One should have good Sportsman Spirit”. These are frequently used positive expressions to convey an individual’s fair temperament, willingness to take risks, generosity and positive attitude. In-built in these are traits of truthfulness, honesty and transparency in dealing with each other.
2. Sports are a very vital and crucial medium of developing human endeavour and an indomitable spirit. It helps in building up of an individual’s endurance (both physical and mental), positive character traits and healthy competition. This, then contributes to consolidation of a healthy and vibrant society.
3. In the words of Jack Nicklaus, the greatest golf player of all times, “You can judge a person’s character by just playing golf with him for a single day”, which, otherwise, will take you months or years to comprehend. So such is the importance of Sports.
4. In any sporting event, it may be an individual event (like golf, tennis, badminton, chess or squash etc.) or team games (like cricket, hockey, football, etc) these require immense concentration, total focus, intelligence and persistent hard work besides meticulous planning tactics to outwit each other, the willpower and resilience to excel.
5. It helps in inculcating a spirit of adventure, camaraderie and team spirit. You can imagine yourself as a part of water rafting expedition wading through rough white waters or being part of a sky diving group. The feeling towards each other are exhilarating and just out of this world.
6. Imagine the level of deep concentration levels required for sports like Archery or Synchronized swimming.
7. As we have seen so far, Sports play very important role in enhancing mental faculties, which in turn can help people of any age or group in their overall development.
