in
a successful sporting career. Change preposition

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.Submitted by Dammy on
