a successful sporting career.

This

essay will discuss both viewpoints.

However

, I am of the opinion that mental strength is germane to achieving success in an athletic event On the one hand, intelligence enables a sportsman to plan properly and put into practice the techniques required on the field. He is more knowledgeable, as

such

, achieves a better outcome.

For example

, my sister who studied sports science in the university plays volleyball and she is far better at the

game

than her counterpart who has no background knowledge.

Hence

, she was picked to represent her team in a champions league final where she won the

game

and return with a gold medal.

Furthermore

, mental strength enables proper use of the body muscles and parts,

thus

, avoiding injuries on the field.

In contrast

, muscle mass may enable some athletes to achieve success in a few areas where heavy lifting or large bodyweight is required. In spite of

this

, they can only achieve a little breakthrough with no mental capacity.

For instance

, my cousin who wrestles occasionally wins the

game

because of his large fist which is able to knock down his opponent. Though a few battles have been won, he remains stagnant in his career as he lacks the technical know-how to utilise wisdom in areas outside wrestling.

Consequently

, he is limited to a particular field and not able to reach the peak. In summary, wisdom and energy have different roles they play in the successful outcome of a sporting event. I am of the opinion that intelligence is very key to taking a

game

career to its peak.
