Contribution of sports in education has always been underrated as it cannot be measured. As a matter of fact sports is the best way to educate and develop strong and energetic nation builders which is the sole purpose of all education. Our present education system can make a person literate but molding the personality can happen only through sports.
Through sports we can teach a person to assess,process and act independently in a game situation which they can later relate to in real life scenarios and this makes them more confident and prepares them for life.
Sports teaches you through the medium of observation and experience which are the most effective ways to learn. It can turn a child into a man of character and a good human being who understands peace,sportsmanship and the joy of giving.
As long as the people view sports as just another recreational activity it is difficult to uplift the importance of sports in education. I believe that if sports as a tool of education is used properly in the education system we would not require MBA schools to help students prepare for their future.
Everything depends on the teachers mindset which brings us to another issue which is of quality of teachers,and it is far more important than the tools used for educating. Sports is just a tool which the educators should know how to use, hence it is important for us to first reevaluate sports as a part of our current education system.
