The Power of Sports

A life without sports is a life indeed without health. It has such a great impact on the students and it shows that students are healthy and medically fit if they practice sports regularly. Our priority should be health and health comes before wealth. What would our life have been without sports? It would have been a lazy and distressful life and as we can see the students of this generation are dependent on technology. A student’s life should be created in such a way that he can overcome all the stress he’s going through in sports. It also helps them to develop many skills such as social, emotional, management, problem-solving, active listening and helps them to develop sportsmanship skills. As quoted by Nelson Mandela “Sports has the power to change the world”. The student’s life would be much healthier not only in the present but also in the future.

Sports and physical activities can create such a healthy and fresh environment in the school. The students can perform much better in school and it helps them to relax, work freely, without any stress and helps to increase their energy. It creates such a balanced and disciplined life for students. Sports can reduce the risk of diseases in the long run and can help in the welfare of society by practicing sports. We cannot only increase our self-confidence but can also help us to inculcate a better vision for our country and society. What sports teach us is that “Failure is an inescapable part of life and a critically important part of any successful life”. It teaches us that life is full of ups and downs and makes us believe that without hard work there is no pain and no gain. It reduces anxiety as this phase is full of excitement, joy, ecstasy, fear, and pain.

The skills created through doing sports become a life-long lesson and the future becomes bright and happy. It creates self-awareness about what our body needs to be developed into a fully grown and mature one. Life is all about a healthy body. If your body and mind are strong then your health will never decline and this can be done by doing sports and devoting time to it. The students get new opportunities to interact and create a bond with one another by participating in sports and physical activities. We learn things faster in a much better way and it’s always “Fast and furious run the race”.

It plays a crucial role in influencing the lives of the students and creates a culture of fitness, wellness, lifestyle, and energy. In the end, I would like to conclude by quoting “Sports teach us development. It helps us learn things such as resilience, leadership, accountability, respect, and patience.
