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 bring rich 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 is a 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 and maintain a healthy body by actively participating in games and sports.
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 and improve the respiration and digestive system. A healthy person can work hard cheerfully for a long period of time, and can face dangers boldly. 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. Mild exercise are beneficial for patients recovering from heart attacks and those who suffer from obesity, diabetes, blood pressure etc. Exercise invigorates the mind and the body and helps to keep fit.
Games provides us with recreation and enjoyment. Soccer, cricket, lawn tennis or wrestling are watched by millions of fans all over the world. When we watch and play games, we forget all our worries and anxieties. They enable us to divert our mind fro the nasty thinking.
A player develops team spirit, he learns to adjust with other person’s shortcomings. A player respects and follows the rules of the game he plays. He, thus, becomes a man of principles. Sportspersons display punctuality, diplomacy and self-discipline. Sports help us to face the challenges in life bravely. One would not be deterred by failures as they are the stepping stones to success. Such an approach would help one reorganize one’s skills and work harder with renewed vigor, to achieve one’s goal.
Games and Sports in Life
"Sports do not build character, they reveal it" - John Wooden
Sports and games are essential parts of our life. They are physical and mental health regulators which help in developing many skills in our own mind. Many people consider it to be a part of leisure time and is not important, but they prove wrong here.
Sports in a way are a great source of knowledge of what life is. We develop skills like Leadership, Teamwork, Patience, Competitiveness and Determination of Success. These are some of the good and must qualities that a person must have in his/her own life.
Sports are generally played for fitness, passion and success. As we know the famous quote: "No pain, No gain". Without sports we have no gain as we experience no pain in our daily work. The sports help us a lot in our daily life.
- Keeps us mentally and physically fit
- Relaxes our mind
- Makes us feel happy and excited
- Develop consciousness about health
- Develops motivation towards our goals
" The Pain you experience today will be the success you enjoy tomorrow"
So feel the pain and et motivated by self.
Relaxing everyday by playing sports each day can help us in a very effective manner in studying key concepts which were hard earlier. Playing sports circulates large amount of oxygen inside which keeps our brain active and helps in studying effectively.
Sports also can earn you fame and pride all across the globe. Young minds in sports can also earn you great recognition all across the country.
E.g. Praggnanandhaa ( Young Chess GrandMaster )
People who succeeded both in sports as well as studies are great in managing life. One of the South Indian Table Tennis Wizard : G Sathiyan is a pride of India who was recently honoured with Arjuna Award.
These people also have created history in sports and shined like stars in the sky. So if they can achieve this why can't we ?
Therefore I conclude that sports is a must and should be followed by everyone to achieve success in reaching great heights.
Thank you :)
