Writing Report:Sports in Life-Positive Aspects

Almost all of us are familiar with the famous adage that “a healthy mind lives in a healthy body”. This very well known quote is practically proven since time immemorial and fully accepted especially among the health conscious people world wide. If a sound and healthy body is the basic necessity to have a sound mind, then naturally our efforts should be focused to remain healthy and fit. To do so we require a regular exercise to achieve the goal. Different people use different methods to do the exercise. Some use meditation and a few others use physical exercises like morning walk, joining the Gym classes etc. but the majority of people prefer sport as a regular exercise.

There are obvious advantages of choosing sport as a regular exercise.

1. Any sport usually involves people grouped in two teams and the game is being played between them. In the competition, one team is declared won while other team has to accept defeat. Sometimes the game end up with a tie or declared draw. This way, team members not only get the opportunity for exercises but also gain popularity, fame and financial rewards.
2. The sport inculcates and develops a competitive spirit in the minds of participants which acts as a life long asset to them and this also develops in them a much needed courage to face the problems and get over it, for their rest of life.
3. It also helps to bring in good personality and character in to the participants.
4. The students who take up sports as a regular exercise find themselves more concentrated on their studies and more focused to whatever they do.
5. Sport contributes tremendously in bringing and polishing the spirit of cooperation and friendship among the participants.
6. Sports offer thrills, enjoyment and a sense of satisfaction to the participants.
7. Sportsmen usually feel active and dynamic and more confident than others especially in dealing with their challenges in life ahead.

Innumerable benefits of sports have long drawn the attention of almost all the state governments’ world wide. As a result of this, more and more state governments internationally sponsor and promote the sports as their national matter and have made the provision to set up a full fledged sports ministry. The governments’ main objective in this endeavor is to enhance the cooperation and friendship with other counterparts internationally so that a harmonious relation could be established with them which would help in creating conducive environment for international business.
The commercial organizations do the sponsorship of sports mainly to gain marketing mileage and use this mode as a source of advertisement for their products, subsequently to improve their bottom lines.

In this way sports men get spill-over benefits by having a fame and popularity and money. The audience gets an excellent source of enjoyment and entertainment by watching sports on TVs or at the venues of the games. This arrangement makes a win-win situation for all participants of the society.
