Games and sports help in the improvement of physical and mental health, the formation of good character, and learning the sporting spirit. It drives out selfishness, and keeps the temper under control. It also helps the students to be, positive and constructive in everything.
Being actively involved in sports can help students relax from their daily routine curriculum and lessen the exam stress as well. It is a great medium to keep the mind, body, and soul in sync and maintain a balance between work and play. Day-to-day practice in sports can help students imbibe leadership skills. Qualities like tolerance, patience, and tips to handle pressure are well taught by sports. It also teaches the value of team spirit and proficiency to share victory and defeat.
Sports education has a direct impact on maintaining the child’s health and increasing their physical stamina. One of the most important thing that is required in sports is the discipline, which has been derived from the word disciple – follower of a learned teacher. Having coaching in sports helps to develop obedience, self-confidence and the ability to determine winning or losing with extreme will power. Educating students in sports increases the power of reasoning and develops mental growth through constant focus on the current set of activities. Teachers should constantly motivate and appreciate students for their efforts.
Note: a good academic background is an important aspect towards pursuing a career in sports as the education qualification will serve as a supporting pillar in the long run. In sports, there can be hits and misses but a good educational backup will help to maintain a good lifestyle besides continuing sports. Students should give equal importance to both education and sports and maintain a proper balance to excel in both areas.
