Why are sports good for us?

Playing sports helps you stay in shape, teaches you how to organize your time, boosts friendships, and builds relationships with your peers and adults. Through athletics, you gain skills that can best be acquired on a court, track, or field.

Friendship Playing sports enables you to create friendships you otherwise might not have formed. Sports bring people together from different schools, backgrounds, and communities. Many times, the friendships you create on the field, especially on a team, remain intact even when you are not playing sports.

Teamwork Being able to work well with others is necessary for anyone who wishes to succeed in life. Whether it is at your job, on a group project at school, or even with family members, there is always a need to be able to work well with other people, even if you are not friends with them.

Health Participating in sports improves your health in many ways. Exercise gives us more energy, and makes us stronger, happier, and healthier overall. To be a good athlete, you must take care of yourself. This gets you thinking about what to eat and how to treat your body to achieve the best performance levels.

Competition Teams and individuals go head-to-head in an attempt to outdo one another or even themselves. Done healthily, sports can teach us to be more competitive. Sports teaches us how to translate our competitive nature on the field or court into real life. Whether it be grades, a job, or admission to a college, athletes understand that having a competitive edge can be the deciding factor in getting the most out of life.

Leadership Skills Participating in sports helps build leadership skills. Sports teams allow you to surround yourself with competitive people and role models and learn from them both. You can demonstrate your leadership through team captainships and individual actions to improve your team's success.

Courage The definition of courage is the ability to face difficulty despite fear. In sports, this may mean going against a bigger, stronger, more athletic opponent. In life, there will be plenty of situations in which the odds are against you. To have that resilience needed, one must have courage.

Sports can teach players many valuable lessons that extend beyond the game.

Resilience is the ability to recover quickly from challenges thrown your way.

��Fun Fact “Sepaktakraw” is like volleyball but played with your feet. It is an extremely popular sport in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

BEING A GOOD SPORT

RECAP

A RECAP ABOUT SPORTS AND ITS VALUES

LET’S PLAY

Sporting Values

Respect and Sportsmanship: These values emphasize treating others with respect, both on and off the field, and showing sportsmanship in victory and defeat.

Good Sportsmanship

Winning and losing respectably is a true sign of good sportsmanship. It also means that an athlete has patience and self-control being humble instead of bragging when winning, and being calm and collected instead of rude and upset when losing. Patience and selfcontrol are needed in life when things do not go the way we intend them to.

Integrity and Fair Play

The sports community is very much against cheating. For there to be a good game, there needs to be a fair game. This is why playing by the rules of the game is important.

Teamwork and Cooperation

Many sports require teamwork. Soccer, basketball, and hockey all need the players to work together. A team is only as strong as the weakest member, so teams need to support one another and cheer each other on. Remember, there’s no ‘I” in a team.

Hard work and Discipline

Many sports require teamwork. Soccer, basketball, and hockey all need the players to work together. A team is only as strong as the weakest member, so teams need to support one another and cheer each other on. Remember, there’s no ‘I” in a team.

Resilience and Perseverance

These values focus on the ability to bounce back from hardship, learn from failures, and continue striving for improvement. Losing is normal.; no one can win every single game. A true athlete won’t give up when things get hard, in fact, a good athlete will keep pushing until they get better.

PART 2: GOOD GAME

Peace and Equality

Sports promote peace and equality by teaching us important values like fairness and teamwork. In sports, everyone starts on an equal footing, showing that we all deserve a fair chance. Regardless of gender, race, ability, or background, anyone can do well and is welcome to play

Safety and Responsibility

In sports, the safety of the players is incredibly important, even if we are striving to get people to push past their limits. Athletes must follow safety guidelines like wearing safety gear. They must also listen to the doctor’s recommendation whenever they get injured.

��Fun Fact: The Olympic motto is “Faster, Higher, Stronger.”

MVPs

Let’s look at some of the most valuable players in the sporting world. They truly embody what it means to be good athletes by practising sportsmanship, integrity, and more.

These two 13-year-old skateboarding rivals shared a warm handshake, hug, and fist bump after battling it out for the gold.

Momiji Nishiya of Japan and Rayssa Leal of BrazilOlympics 2021

Nahuel Carabaña–2022 European Athletics Championships in Munich

He is a runner from Andorra. He showed great sportsmanship when he stopped during the first heat of the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase to help two-time Danish champion Axel Vang Christensen, who fell. He brought the fallen athlete off the track to get treated by a doctor Carabaña eventually resumed his race, finishing last. And yet he got a standing ovation from the audience in the Olympiastadion for his heartwarming move.

MVPs

McEvoy was a favourite heading into the 100m freestyle swim in the Rio Olympics when he shockingly finished in seventh place. Although it was a heartbreaking result for him, he embraced his teammate and gold medal winner Kyle Chalmers as he celebrated his Olympic victory, rather than being sad or angry about the results.

Cameron McEvoy - 2016 Rio Olympic Games

Shuhei Nishida and Sueo Oe - 1936 Berlin Olympic Games

Shuhei Nishida and Sueo Oe were fighting for the silver medal and both vaulters finished with the same height, yet officials awarded the silver to Nishida for having fewer misses than Oe. Afterward, Nishida and Oe cut their medals in half to create two new medals half silver and half bronze. They were called the "medals of friendship."

Winning in a sport is not everything. These athletes have shown us that being a good person and athlete is possible and truly appreciated by others.
