Sports should be made a compulsion subject

Education is one word which is most debatable due to various reasons and concepts. School is the process of acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. The methods include storytelling, teaching, discussion, and training. It is usually believed that the knowledge and skills are developed only through books and studies, but now with the change in the education system, there is a change in gaining knowledge and skills too. It has been advised that sports should be made compulsory subject because sports is as important as education. 

There have been discussions to revise the education policy to give importance to sports. The next generation should be able to excel in academics as well as sports, and it will eventually lead to a good quality of life. 

Sports do make the person physically fit, but it also makes the person mentally strong. There are various types of vigorous activities in games that can remove unwanted toxins from the body by increasing the circulation of blood and boosting metabolism. It is scientifically proved that with the healthy body comes the youthful mind. The sports include traditional activities like jogging to new modern world activities like skateboarding. The most significant benefit of indulging in games is that the students develop the sense of alertness which in return can stimulate the brain and help students in their studies. Students will become unhealthy and introvert without the involvement of the sports. Also, there will be discipline issues among the students if the school is not focused on games. 

One of the critical benefits of including sports in academic life is that the students learn the importance of cooperativeness among students. It is essential that students don’t remain shy as they need to work and meet different people in the future. Sports will open them, and they will be an extrovert to their surroundings which will be essential for their future. With the learning of cooperating with friends, the students are ready to learn more and more; so this way the sports help them in more education. Sports make the students develop the sense of team spirit and sense of friendliness which is needed at every phase of life. The growing popularity of video games and digital world is making the students dull and individualistic as there is no involvement of the outdoor activities. 

There should be a balance between the studies and the play. A balance should be maintained to match with the student’s maturity, skills, and their interests in any one of the sports. This is required to break the monotony in their life. With sports participation students can have productive breaks from their studies as sports are useful means of entertainment and physical activity. If the schools make the sports a compulsion subject then the students would have a balance between the studies and the play; they will learn the time management and discipline in life. Sports will eliminate the mental exhaustion which usually comes from the continuous studies for long hours. It has been proved that the concentration and focus are done only till the first one hour of research, afterward, the student starts losing the focus. So, even if the student is forced to study for long hours without any break, it might prove a waste of time and efforts invested. 

If we count on the financial savings, then to sports can help the students who come from lower income families. Most of the universities either give the scholarships or lower the fees for the students who are good at sports. This way sports involvement will help those students who find difficult to get the admission in the college due to high fees. Therefore it can be said that with the compulsion of sports in education, getting the college scholarship will increase. 

Sports and games are an essential part of life as they improve the physical fitness and cognitive abilities. This is much needed in the rapidly growing digital world as the students are not involved in any physical activity. When the sports are made as a compulsion, then students will regularly have the physical activity which is the need for the students. Those who are not interested in games will also be involved in the physical activity which will gradually become the habit towards the healthy body and healthy mind. There is an adverse impact on the youngsters with the changing lifestyle, food habits and the lack of physical activity. There is the risk of obesity and health-related problems without the involvement in sports. Physical education and sports are essential for the full development of the student’s personality. The young generation is becoming more and more addicted to video games and internet surfing. We cannot make them be gadgets free as the education system is available online too, but we can render them useless with the involvement of the sports in their life. The time spent on video games and the internet will gradually decrease making the students more physically active. 

Schools are investing in the infrastructure and hiring the good coaches for the sports education. The schools are now built with the proper sports infrastructure and maintenance equipment. Knowledge is incomplete without the sports, and that’s the reason it should make the compulsory subject. Sports come as a blessing for those who are not good at studies but are excellent in the sports. Every student needs to be apricated but if the student lacks behind in studies then he feels demotivated and unwanted, and this emotion is healed with the involvement in sports. If the student feels appreciated in sports and wanted in some part of the sports world, then the student will also start focusing on the studies. 

The next generation will have an ample number of choices concerning education and sports. With the changing times and rapid growth, the students have the opportunity to choose the games of their choice ranging from team play to individual play and also have the choice in the education courses. The variety in sports and education gives them the freedom to choose their future.
