The value of sports: A healthy mind develops in a healthy body and so to be successful in life we must have a harmonious development of the body, the mind and the intellect. Sports promotes health. It also gives us a complete diversion from all cares and worries and refreshes the mind. Sports also help to inculcate several good qualities such as team spirit, perseverance, tolerance, a helping attitude and a spirit of give-and-take.
Certain games involve accurate judgement, prompt and quick decisions and immediate execution. It is said that a nation of sportsmen will progress in all spheres of life, be it economic, political, social or international. We can clearly see that India and other underdeveloped countries are also weak in games and sports in the international forum. It is imperative that Indian youth take up games and sports with greater seriousness and steadfastness.
