3-] The Importance of Sports .

The importance of sports in life is invaluable . It is said that a healthy mind can be found only in a healthy body . Sports also play a pivotal role in the make up of a young athlete , especially in      school . They develop not only the child’s physical faculty , but also his or her mental faculty .Exercises have to be done regularly for the proper functioning and development of our body .

         Sports also teach us good moral values . We can learn good qualities and attitudes of persons .  A good sportsman can take both victory and defeat alike . He is very patient . He accepts any              decision without grumbling.  He is well disciplined and well mannered . Also he is ready to accept  any challenge at any time . Sports teach us leadership qualities and the feeling of co0peration and work as a team . Sports also instill other values such as responsibility , self-confidence , sacrifice     and accountability . Television which may be the most influential tool in the lives of young adults does not show enough of these qualities nor the internet or radio . Rather it is up to the parents , teachers , sports teams , clubs and after school programs to help mold , develop and instill these qualities into the lives of student athletes .

               There are various kinds of sports whether they are team sports , pair sports or individual sports such as football , volleyball , tennis , swimming , karate , heavy weight lifting , boxing , canoeing , sailing , wrestling , running etc. In the past sports were not given a priority in schools . They were as extra-curricular activities . Now they are an integral part of education . In my        opinion sports must be made compulsory . Children should be encouraged to engage  in sports too . Otherwise our future generation will be weak and lethargic . The first thing we need is a good        core of  coaches that understand the great responsibility that is placed upon their shoulders to help shape and prepare the student athletes not only in sports but in their everyday lives as well . It is  their responsibility to help young student athletes make a smooth transition into society .

                Many governments in many countries have taken several steps to improve sports .There      is a separate Ministry in charge of sports .Sports clubs have been established throughout these countries . The most crucial thing to develop sports is the support that comes from the community and administration .In order to accomplish this , more investment is required . The more the investment , the better the results . I can attest that there is no greater investment than the future of our young student athlete .
