Sports And Games

Some people seem lo think that sports and games are unimportant things that people do,
at times when they are not working, instead of going to the cinema, listening to the radio, or
sleeping. But in actual fact sport and games can be of great value, especially to people who work
with their brains most of the day, and should not be treated only as amusement
Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us
healthy. But these are not their only uses. They give us valuable practice in making eyes see the
ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain
then has to decide what to do, and to sent its orders to muscles of the arms, legs, and so on, so
that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed,
and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of
events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such
skills is specially useful.
Sports and games are also very useful for character training. In their lessons at school,
boys and girls may learn about such bvirtues at unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of
one’s country, but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep on achild’s character as
what is learned by expeerience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much paractical training in
living, because most of the pupil’s time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the
pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens
when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team and for himself on the football
field , he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own
benefit.
