Answer:
It is my pleasure to present a welcome speech for event of the Annual Sports Day. I believe that everyone present here is doing good and are super excited about today's Sports day. ... Sports make our life interesting, teach us to work hard and push our limits to reach a new high.
Sports has a huge role to play when it comes to nation-building and the same is evident from the following. It helps in elevating qualities like discipline, determination, teamwork and a passion for fitness in the psyche of a nation.
Run
It ought to be mandatory for every single person in the country to run or jog or walk for fifteen minutes at least every single morning. Something as small as that can make a world of difference. For you to be able to participate in sports, developing your basic core fitness through running is essential. It would help keep away diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure and obesity. One in every three Indian is projected to be obese by 2030. This is one simple step which can help prevent that.
The best way to develop sports at the grassroots level is to integrate it as a goal for schools to pursue. The combination which schools possess is priceless – infrastructure with a structured group of children going through it. Most schools have an open field, a lot of them have at least a basketball court. And they have a couple of hours a week which they can dedicate to sports for the kids. According to the next five year plan, it’s expected that sports in schools will be taken more seriously at the school level, thus enabling the development of young talent. Initiatives such as marks for sports come to mind too. There is a world of untapped potential in schools, we just need to tap in to it.
Increase the number of facilities which people can use for pursuing sports, and increase the accessibility and quality of the existing infrastructure. There are a lot of sports for which you just need some open space and equipment, but to pursue any sport in an organized manner, one needs proper facilities to play. Elite athletes also require proper facilities to train and push their game to the next level.
People need to compete in well organized competitions which have a sustainable structure. A simple one shot tournament is not completely ineffective, but having well organized competitions over a long period of time will allow for better development and talent spotting. It will also give sportspersons an opportunity to compete and improve.
Sometimes, the scope of a goal seems so large that we don’t know where to begin. These ideas can be undertaken one small step at a time. That’s how things get done anyway, one step at a time.
