What is a sport?
There are many different sports disciplines around the world, some more known than others. However, to learn about these it could be a good idea to first answer the main question “What is a sport?” A sport is an activity that is competitive and athletic, and which requires some particular set of skills or physical abilities to be carried out.
There are several types of sports, usually divided by four main categories according to the types of skills required: physical sports (swimming, gymnastics), motorised sports (these often involve vehicles like cars or motorbikes), mind sports (like chess, which needs a lot of attention and critical thinking skills), and sports with animals (horseback riding, for example). Some of these activities can be individual, and others may be performed on couples or even teams
Why are sports important?
Sports are deeply ingrained in the different cultures found around the world. Learning about sports helps the little ones get to know more about their surroundings, breaking down language and cultural barriers as they get to know new vocabulary and expressions as they practice their favorite disciplines. Moreover, practicing a sport is the perfect way for children to learn about sportsmanship, and also to grasp the importance that teamwork has in a person’s life.
Additionally, children that grow up practicing a sport develop great physical skills, are more inclined to make new friends have improved self-esteem and lower levels of stress, which in turn is quite beneficial for their mental health. So, sports are not only great for the body, but also for the children’s mind.

When there is a road block in your way, it is almost always mental. When you place some sort of mental road block, it becomes something to fear. You may doubt that you can reach the next goal or milestone, but that’s just your mind playing tricks on you. “Never say never because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.” – Michael Jordan
Besides being statistically true, this inspirational sports quote from the most prolific goal scorer in hockey history tells us to take risks. This can be applied in almost any situation in life. Take the shot; if you don’t, you can never make it. “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” – Wayne Gretzky
Another statistical fact that gives you hope for tomorrow, and every day after that. Just because you didn’t close the deal today, doesn’t mean you never will. When you lose game 7, all you have left is next year. And there is a next year. “Today, you have 100% of your life left.” – Tom Landry
The best competitors are those who love to compete. If you are trying to dance around a batter, they have the advantage. If you challenge a batter head to head, you have the advantage. Nothing is more daring than reaching back and hurling the ball at someone, daring them to hit it. “I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it.” – Sandy Koufax
