You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Some people think that physical strength is important for success in sport, while other people think that mental strength is more important. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. You should write at least 254 words.

In recent decades, it is often debated topic, how success has been judged, on what basis a person can be successful, whether it is physical
strength
or cognitive
strength
, which leads to being successful in the
sport
. In my opinion,
both
are useful as per their need, which is required in different situations. I shall discuss in
this
essay, how
both
have an equal weight age. Talking about physical
strength
, which is essential when it comes to safeguarding, our own selves in the time of danger or to rescue someone from the threat or win any tournament
/
game
. It is necessary to be physically strong fore.g., a
sport
like wrestling, who has a mandatory requirement to maintain a suitable weight, in order to get qualified. Where a wrestler’s physical
strength
, has given importance, so that he
/
she can use his physical
strength
to win the
game
.
Moreover
, their training is very rigid, and they have to on a strict diet. If they are not following the mentioned diet, they won't be able to play for the team. As in wrestling, if a
player
is not strong enough, he
/
she won't be able to keep up, not even till 1 round, and any injury can happen while playing.
Besides
this
, the
player
also
needs to use their mental ability to win the
game
.
Similarly
, when it is concerned with mental
strength
, sports like Kabaddi, and Football. All these games
required mindful
Accept comma addition
required, mindful
strategies along with physical
strength
. As all these sports required a lot of tricks and patience to win. Fore.g., Kabaddi, where a
player
has to be strongly determined, and tough to beat the opponent players. There is a lot of chasing required in Kabaddi and Football. The opponent team can burn the
player
mentally
Suggestion
mentality
, and if a
player
is not able to assimilate, and tackle with them calmly, He
/
she has a possibility to lose the
game
. That's why getting selected in
such
type of sports required mental
strength
to cope up with any kind of stress or failure. To conclude, I personally feel,
both
the qualities I.E physical and mental health are equally required to be successful in any
sport
also
it holds its own importance when it comes to any
sport
and
both
go hand in hand.
