Famous Sports Quotes

While I was growing up I liked to play outdoor games. Luckily for my friends and me, our homes were situated near a school that had a big field. In my 15 years of being born and brought up in this particular locality, I never had as much fun as the last 5. Every evening, we used to get on to our bicycles and go off to the field with our skates, skipping ropes, badminton and table tennis racquets.

I had my first brush with sports around the same time, we had our sports competition coming up, and so I thought of participating in the 100-meter race. I practiced for 2 weeks, and made everyone's life miserable. I cajoled my dad into carrying a stopwatch and cycling along with me every single morning and evening. The d-day finally dawned and my friends, neighbors and relatives cheered me on. I did not win any medal that day but we still celebrated, because I had grown out of my shell and participated in a sports event (Mom's words). At the end of the day the only thing my parents told me was "Life isn't about winning, it is how you play the game." I still love sports and can spend an entire day glued to the television watching a cricket or lawn tennis match. Though there is one thing that I have learned, and that is, all of us have our strengths and weaknesses and sports is certainly not one of my strengths.

To play a game it is important to be a good sportsman, and children learn the basics from the adults they see around them. If the adults and coaches serve as role models, this interaction will slowly make them realize that the real winners in sports are those who know how to persevere and behave with dignity, irrespective of whether they win or lose a game.
