asl speech on importance of discipline in sports

Answer 1

Games are very essential for students but they are neglected in schools. Even parents do not have high opinion about games and they want their children to devote more time to studies. India lacks funds, and proper training facilities are not provided to the players. Sports bringrich dividends to sportsmen. The government has formulated a New National Sports Policy. Effective measures should be taken to popularize, and encourage participation in games and sports.We all are familiar with the maxim ‘Health is wealth’. According to the World Health Organization, ‘Health isa state of complete physical, the absence of disease.’ Academics serve the purpose of nourishing the mind. But a healthy mind resides in a healthy body. One can develop andmaintain a healthy body by actively participating in games and sports.ADVERTISEMENTS:Games keep our body alert, active, youthful and energetic. They instill in us a spirit of adventure. Games increase the circulation of blood, boost metabolism, burn calories andimprove the respiration and digestive system. A healthy person can work hard cheerfully for a long period of time, and can face dangersboldly. Games also instill in the players the spirit of self-reliance, self-confidence, justice, and fair play. They enable him to follow other virtues like discipline, honesty,integrity, loyalty and patriotism.While playing games various exercises are performed automatically and one need not join a gymnasium to exercise. Brisk walking, running, cycling, skipping, swimming and yoga are common activities to keep fit. They also tone up the body of both the young and the old.

There are many life lessons that can be learned outside of the classroom. Whether it is from your parents or your friends, you are always learning something. I have had a great privilege of playing sports my whole life and picking up on different life skills is a very important attribute in athletics. Discipline, teamwork, and overcoming adversity are three extremely important attributes in sports that pertain to everyday life.
One of the most important, if not the most important, life lesson I learned is discipline. Discipline is not just used in sports; you need it for school, to keep a job or just to follow directions correctly without messing them up. School work is very important to a student athlete and to have a strong discipline in the classroom means you will have a strong discipline on the court. It will be very important when getting a job and being obedient to your boss, coworkers, or clients. You will need to have discipline in order to deal with them respectfully and honestly.
Teamwork is important because you need to know how to work with other people the right way. There are different people in this world which means different personalities, and every person is different to deal with. That is the importance of teamwork, knowing how to work with people the correct and most efficient way. Without teamwork in sports there is no success on or off the court, field, etc.
Learning how to overcome different obstacles in life in a positive way and with the right attitude is adversity. This is not just used in sports, but everyday life. Life can change in a matter of seconds and knowing how to deal with your problems correctly and positively requires you to overcome adversity. It is a lot harder than it sounds but is a very important and also an overlooked lesson of life.
Sports haven’t just taught me how to play the game but have taught me several lessons that I will use the rest of my life. These lessons are very important to me and I use them every day. Without the discipline, teamwork, and adversity, that sports have taught me, I would be a completely different person than I am today.
