Importance of Sports in School Curriculum
Sports play an important role in shaping up the personality and fitness of a person.
1. Sportsmanship: Playing Sports teaches us sportsmanship about how to be strong still even when defeat is on our side. Learning how to be humble, for when they grow older they will be able to accept failures and mistakes. Doing necessary improvements and adjustments in life will help them become strong & persistent so that they would learn not to repeat the same mistakes again which they have made in the past.
2. Discipline & Self-Confidence: Children should be involved in some of the other games in order to become disciplined. Every game or sport has its own set of rules & regulations. Physical training & exercise help to become disciplined. Martial arts like judo- karate, taekwondo, etc. make kids well disciplined. Further, sports and games give them an opportunity to lead as well as to feel the team spirit. Thus, sports help to bring out and nurture the qualities of leadership among students.
