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 opinion
It is controversial that whether physical power or mental effort has more importance in
sport
victory. While I believe that spiritual strength well contributes to an athlete's proficiency, I would also
argue that physical fitness plays a pivotal role in sport
.
On the one
hand, it is no doubt that emotions have certain impact on the performance of one
player. Before the game, if he is encouraged by his surroundings, the athlete does obviously enhance his self-esteem as well as self-confidence and is likely to make greater efforts to deserve his love he has received. In contrast
, witnessing bad events right before the sport
contest, individuals seem to be over-concerned and disappointed. As a result
, they cannot keep a calm feeling and be distracted from the match. The situation even gets worse when considering a team sport
sport
as the lack of productivity of one
member becomes a black hole in his role play and may also
make others frustrated and easy to lose temper.
On the other hand
, there is a host of reasons why success in sport
requires physical well-being. Firstly
, when participating in any training program or sport
game, health check is a must. People are only accepted to take part in sport
games if they satisfy all the necessary requirements. Even if one
who has mental strength, but cannot meet the physical standards, such
as weight or endurance is eliminated. For example
, a basketball player is demanded to be at least 1,65 meters in height in Vietnam. Secondly
, sport
training is a tough process lasting for a period of time before getting ready for official matches. Without persistence and stable body-building, no one
can follow sport
career in a long term.
In conclusion, despite the fact that athletes' feelings influence their results, I am of the opinion that success in sport
mostly relies on physical fitness. Coaches should allocate more money on physical training in order to guarantee the health of sport
players.Submitted by Avneet Singh on
