usually competitive physical activity
which, through casual or organised
participation, aim to use, maintain or

Sport is generally recognised as activities which are based in physical athleticism or

HISTORY
The documented history of sports goes
back at least 3,000 years. In the
beginning, sports often involved the
preparation for war or training as a
hunter, which explains why so many
early games involved the throwing of
spears, stakes, and rocks, and sparring
one-on-one with opponents.

History of the Olympic Rings
The interlocking rings of the Olympic flag was
created by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the
co-founder of the modern Olympic games.
The five rings represented the five
participating continents of the time:
Africa, Asia, America, Europe, and
Oceania. While the colors of the five
rings, blue, yellow, black, green, and
red together with the white background
of the flag could compose the colors of
every nation’s flag at the time of its
inception as the official Olympic symbol in
1915. This is what the inventor, Baron Pierre de
Coubertin, had to say about his
Olympic symbol in 1931. THE OLYMPIC SYMBOL – WIDELY KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AS THE OLYMPIC
RINGS – IS THE VISUAL AMBASSADOR OF OLYMPISM FOR BILLIONS OF PEOPLE.

The Summer and Winter Olympic Games organized
by the International Olympic Committee occur every
four years. The Summer Olympics, more popularly
known as just The Olympics is a much bigger event
with 204 countries participating as of 2012. The Winter
Olympics is an event on a relatively smaller scale, with
about 88 countries participating in 2014.
Why did the Summer and Winter Olympics split?
Before 1992, the Summer and Winter Olympics were held at the same time every four years.
Today, the Olympics are held every two years alternating between the summer and winter. In
other words, each Olympic is held every four years on different intervals. The Summer and
Winter Olympics split for multiple reasons and mainly had a positive outcome. The Summer
Olympics had existed long before the Winter Olympics. The Summer Olympics began in 1896
and the Winter Olympics later began in 1924. The Winter Olympics was a lot less popular than
the Summer Olympics and splitting them gave the Winter Olympics a much larger audience: “The
separation of the games allowed the Winter Olympics to emerge from the shadow of the Summer
Olympics” (Faceu). This is because the Summer and Winter Olympic games now both had their
own individual year so not all the attention would be focused on the Summer Olympics.

2.Planning and preparation - Mental preparation helps athletes achieve a focused, confident and trusting mindset
to help them compete at their highest level.
3.Multitasking- Combining work with sport improves your time management skills. It has taught me to prioritize
and make the most of time.
4.Hard work beats talent - “Attitude is everything.” I have seen incredibly talented sportsmen fail and average
athletes go to the Olympics through insanely hard work.
5.Mental strength- Mental strength is the most asset an athlete can have. capacity of an individual to deal
effectively with stressors, pressures and challenges and perform to the best of their ability, irrespective of the
circumstances in which they find themselves.
6. Team Building-Bonds formed at training camps, on the field of play and in the ring, are just unbeatable. They are
unique friendships. This companionship is just as important to me at work, where I firmly believe that sport among
co-workers boosts confidence, collaboration and, therefore, efficiency.

7. Sportsmanship- “If you want to be part of the game, you have to follow the rules.”
If you want to be part of the game, you have to follow the rules. n aspiration or ethos that a sport, or activity will
be enjoyed for its own sake. This is with proper consideration for fairness, ethics, respect, and a sense of fellowship
with one's competitors.
8. Have an idol- “It is important to have people to look up to that can inspire your career. If they made it, why
can’t you? ” a benchmark of talent, hard work, self-improvement and value generation.
What Is Sportsmanship?
Sportsmanship is when competitors or viewers of competitive events treat one another with respect and
exhibit appropriate behavior. Good sportsmanship means being fair and ethical to those you’re playing
with—both your teammates and the opponents—and is especially crucial for young athletes to learn.
Sportsmanship can also apply to audience members, including viewers in the bleachers and coaches on
the sidelines. Sportsmanship doesn’t mean going easy on opponents, because most times, aggression is
part of the game. Being a good sport means your conduct is polite and gracious, and that you avoid
disrespecting others during game time.
1. Be supportive. If you’re losing, it’s best not to take your disappointment out on your
teammates. Being a team player is essential during team sports, where support can mean
everything. In a game, players are doing their best, and everyone wants to win. People are
more productive and efficient with positive reinforcement, and a few words of encouragement or
high-fives can sometimes be all someone needs to get their head back into the game.
2. Have a positive attitude. Having a negative attitude about the game can bring down the whole
team, making competition less fun for everyone. Childish or inappropriate behavior can dampen
the spirit of the game and make players seem immature. Positivity is an important trait,
especially when playing team sports.
3. Be respectful. Whether you win or lose, it’s essential to show respect to others. Avoid being
passive-aggressive or insulting your peers over their gameplay. Even if you suspect someone
of cheating, (which may not necessarily be the case), hurling harsh words at your opponents or
teammates can damage your reputation, and the respect others have for you. Whining about
calls or arguing with umpires also demonstrates unsportsmanlike conduct. Some people,
however, consider trash talk part of the game and have a higher tolerance for it than others—
but a general rule of thumb is that as long as it doesn’t cross into personal boundaries, trash
talk can be a fun way to amp up the spirit of the game.
4. Be willing to learn. If you end up losing, rather than take it out on the opposition, try to learn
from your mistakes. For instance, if you make a lot of forced errors during a tennis match,
practice returning the balls that made you struggle the most. If you hit a lot of your backhands
into the net instead of down the line winners, work on that technique to increase your chances
of future success.
5. Practice self-control. Games can get emotional, but players should always make a conscious
effort to control their emotions and focus on the game. Damaging sporting equipment or playing
surfaces is a surefire way to be a bad sport, and can also embarrass your teammates.
✓
1. Be a gracious winner. Being a sore loser when the other player or team wins isn’t a good look,
but neither is gloating over your win. Winning doesn’t make one team more superior to the
other; it means the winning team’s skills and best efforts put them in the best position to win
that game. You can be excited and happy for yourself for winning without taunting or putting
down the opponents.
2. Play fair. Cheating at a game is poor sportsmanship. Fair play means having a leve l playing
field. Every athlete or competitor has an equal opportunity to win, and no one has a more
significant advantage or disadvantage over someone else. If you want to win at a game,
everyone must start with the same conditions as the opposing team or player, and follow the
rules of the game. Deviating outside of these guidelines may cause others to see you as a poor
sport (including your team members), and no one will want to play with you in the next game.
3. Picture the future. Sometimes you’ll have to compete against a friend, family member, or
loved one, and it can be hard to put that relationship aside during competition and play a good
game. Tennis superstar Serena Williams chooses to focus on the future when she’s playing
against family and friends. “In 10 years, it’s not going to really matter. No one is going to
remember this match; no one’s going to really think about it. If so, they’re not going to be angry
about it,” Serena says. Focusing on the future can help you get into the right mindset of
competitive play.
4. Shake hands. It is customary of many sports to shake hands with the opposing player or team
after a game. Win or lose, shaking hands is a good sign of respect for the other people
involved.
