Why I Play Sports

21 Why I Play Sports Some people have no interest in sports. They say that sports make you sweat and smell bad. They say, “ Why waste time playing sports?" To these people, I politely say, “ You have not discovered the fun of sports! " Let me take you through a game I played recently, and share the ups and downs of the game with you. It was a basketball championship game in our city, and a lot of people were watching. Our parents and friends were there to cheer us on. We wanted to make a good impression. Most of all we wanted to win in front of the hometown crowd. The game was nearly over and we were down one goal. Our best player called us together and said, “ Okay, this is it! Either we score now or the game is over. Let's give whatever it takes to score and if we don't, then at least we know that we have tried our very best. " This little speech said it all. Why? Because I feel it really doesn't matter if you lose, as long as you give everything in trying. That is a life lesson that sports can teach us.

Well, in the last minute of the game, we did score and tied the game! We went into overtime and we lost in the end. But in the locker room after the game, the coach said he had never seen a team try harder than us. So my advice to you is to play sports regularly. Pick something that focusses your mind and energy and stick with it. Your body will thank you and your mind will be ready to work better afterwards. Above all, give it your best each time you are out there. That's why I love sports, and that's why I play them when- ever I get the chance.
