Writing Task 2

 Some people argue that the fittest, strongest individuals and teams can achieve the greatest
success in sports. But other people think that success is as much related to mental attitude.

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

It is considered that people and teams with high physical qualities are likely to succeed in
more achievements in sports, whereas opponents prioritize mentality regarding this matter. In
my opinion, while some believe that sports as wrestling and basketball require physical
readiness, successful results in all types are associated with mental skills.

On the one hand, being in a good shape is thought to be crucial to be the winner of the
competition. In other words, arm-wrestlers need more physical power with less weight and a
right way of breathing to dominate their rivals. Additionally, height and tirelessly running
skills are essential for football players to help the team score good results. For instance,
worldwide football clubs prefer players with strong physique. Thus, being fit is more
important than mental attitude for sportsmen and teams.

On the other hand, good mental skills are believed to be the core of success. In a broader
sense, accurate strategy applying skill is the most preferable trait for not only wrestlers who
rely on their physical health but also chess players using their mental abilities. Even, those
who are too week and bodily tired may reveal the best scores thanks to their healthy way of
thinking and cognitive skills.

In conclusion, the topic has been discussed from different aspects; however, I personally think
that mental attitude is more needed in all types of sports.
