BENEFITS FOR PROMOTING LEARNING THROUGH SPORTS

Children character and moral principles are formed through fair play. Moreover, children who are actively engaged in sports can be good role models for their peers from school, neighborhood, or even school choir, and inspire them to start playing some sports as well. Playing sports enables them to create friendships they otherwise might not have formed. For example, the friendships professional athletes create on the field remain intact even when they are not playing sports, and often last a lifetime. Sports bring people together from all over the world, regardless of their nationality, religion, culture, or skin color. Teamwork and benefits of social interaction among children are best seen in sports. Children learn they are part of a team that requires the same effort from all members to succeed, as well as how to win with class, and lose with dignity. They view competitions on and off the field as opportunities to learn from their success and failure. In addition, losing often motivates kids to work even harder for next time. They learn to respect authority, rules, team colleagues and opponents. Sport is an important learning.

USING SPORTS TO PROMOTE CLEAN ENVIRONMENT

Since time immemorial, people have entertained themselves with sports. Sports are emblematic of health, with the best matches played by athletes in peak physical form. But ironically, even as sports promote health, they can also degrade the environment upon which good health depends. Whether played or watched, athletic endeavors have the potential to produce huge environmental “footprints” in terms of their use and abuse of natural resources. Ski slopes, for instance, disrupt fragile alpine ecosystems, while snowmobiles spew exhaust fumes into the air.
