Some people think that mental strength is more important for success in sport. Some people believe that physical health is more important. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

It is often believed that physical health is more important than mental

strength

for success in sport.

However

, there are

also

many people with the opposite opinion. In my view, mental

strength

is more important than physical health and here I will try to explain why do I think so.

To begin

with there are many professional sportsmen who started their careers behind other competitors in terms of pure

strength

, endurance or agility.

However

, those who had enough persistence and will g

get

better results in the end. For instant, Muggsy Bogues a professional basketball player whose height was short compared to other players. In the end, Muggsy formed his aggressive game style based on his short height and agility thanks to that got his nickname. Another thing is it is not as easy to train own mental

strength

.

Although

the same statement can be applied to physical

strength

as well.

However

, when it comes to mental power improvement, it requires not only discipline, efforts and will power but certain situations. Mental

strength

is trained in stressful situations when a person needs to make a difficult choice or protect his rights or h

or training with weights. Doubtless, physical

strength

is a crucial quality for the sportsman as it widens his opportunity. And here we meet other problems. Of course, in long terms physically strong person will outclass the weak one as his limits comparatively higher.

However

, people often give up i

a half due

to the lack of motivation or any other reasons. The

second

problem is stress. It is undeniable that any competitive sport is

also

stressful. Often mentally weak people just can't handle the stress what causes bad performance. To conclude, it is up to everybody to decide what is more important mental

strength

or physical health.

Although

humans are rather balanced creatures and it is a rare case when one quality outclass another. The same idea is here.

However

, when we talk about the exact proportions I still think that mental power is a crucial quality not only in sports but in real life.
