Academic learning and sports education are actually the two sides of the same coin. They complement each other in every sphere of a child’s life. In any country, if sports education is considered as an integral part of the curriculum along with the theory classes, there is a great possibility of personality development in the student. Not only that, sports education is indirectly the practical performance all the theory subjects a student learn inside their classrooms. The basics Physics, Maths, Geography and all are applied in every level of a sports activity. So, let’s have a look at some the key benefits of having sports education incorporated curriculum.
1. Sports education is essential in a school curriculum as it helps the students keep up their physical strength. It teaches them the basic lessons of life such as obedience, order, the strength of mind to win, determination, etc. For any child, the influence of analysis, intellectual growth, occupational specialisation etc. are received from the academic or theoretical education. Because of this very reason, sports education in conjunction with the academics results in the overall progress of the students.
2. As people say – ‘a strong mind resides in a strong body’. for any person to stay strong and steady an active and energetic physique is necessary. So, specifically in the case of young ones, being physically active is a must. Concentration and mental development are the bliss of an active person who is highly involved in any of the sports items.
3. Obedience and respect for others is a trait of a good sportsman. Until and unless you respect your team members, you can never be a good leader and portray team spirit. Sports education trains a child in such a way that the child learns to rise again from their falls. It teaches them to be modest even when they are on the peak of a triumph.
4. Educational institutions have to play a very crucial role here by providing world-class facilities to their students to encourage the sports person in them. Fortunately, most of the schools in Hyderabad took this concern seriously and worked towards it with positive outcomes.
5. Most importantly, in a country like India, sports is even considered as a means of livelihood. In the recent times, parents have started considering sports even as a career option for their children considering the potential in it.
