474 Words Essay on The Importance of Sports in Education (free to

read)
by Subham

Academic learning and Sports Education are, actually, the

complementariness of each other. They are the two sides of the same coin. If
total education makes full development of the over-all personality of a pupil
possible, he gets the qualities of leadership, tolerance, sharing and team-spirit
from sports.
The mental development, including the power of reasoning and vocational
specialization, of course, comes from the academics. It, therefore, becomes
imperative that education should result in the mental, moral and physical
development of a student.

But no one can deny that, unfortunately, the present-day system of education
lays too much stress on mental development, pays only lip sympathy to moral

enrichment and completely neglects physical well-being of a student. The

over-all result is the coming up of hordes of graduates, postgraduates and
diversified professionals with frail body and poor physique.

For an all-round development of a child, the curriculum should include sports

and games and health education. Sufficient amount of school time should be
devoted to Sports and Physical Training.

It is heartening to note that in order to rectify the past mistake, the C.B.S.E.
and most other Boards of Education in many states have made the Sports

Education a compulsory subject up to the + 2 level. But the irony is that the
subject has yet to get due seriousness and importance in practice.
Sports Education needs to be introduced with all earnestness, because mental
and moral development is just not possible without physical development.
We must remember that a sound mind dwells only in a sound body. A strong
and healthy student will, in the long run, surpass the pale, sickly, scholar who
is merely a bookworm.
A healthy and strong body is not possible without sports. The development of
body is very essential in life. All our physical enjoyments, and to some extent,
even mental enjoyments, depend upon our body. All our degrees and
achievements will be of no use without a good physique and healthy
personality.
Life is a struggle and the person with a healthy and strong body alone can
face it successfully. Besides promoting health and strength, sports develop
many good qualities of the head and the heart. They strengthen the power of
endurance and promote discipline, fair play and team spirit.
Young men and women are trained to face defeat with a smile and maintain
humility even in victory. Games are the greatest and the healthiest means of
refreshment and recreation. They fill one with joy, zeal, vitality and
enthusiasm, which help a person a lot in facing the actual odds of life without
yielding to gloom or pessimism.
So sports are not only essential but also indispensable for an all-round
development of the personality. The famous saying, The battle of Waterloo
was won on the play-grounds of Eton, correctly and aptly sums up the
importance of sports in education.
