SPORTS PLAY KEY ROLE IN DEVELOPING HUMAN PERSONALITY
Abstract
Sport is human life in the microcosm," said sports broadcaster, Howard Cosell. In addition to benefiting their physical health, sport also plays an important role in a child's psychological development and social well-being. Playing sports inculcates values such as discipline, responsibility, self-confidence, sacrifice and accountability. Through sport, children learn to interact with their peers and interact positively with their coaches and elders. It builds the sportsmanship in them whether they win or lose. The losing team shakes hands with the winning team and pats them on the shoulders in appreciation.We are all well aware of the fact that the practice of sports/physical activi ties develops the five components of physical fitness: strength, speed, skill, endurance and flexibility. Playing a sport is undoubtedly a fun activity.
