ABOUT THE SECTION ON SPORTS AND FREE TIME

"It's not about who wins the race, but how far that

  person came on the road of self-knowledge and

  personal development, and while doing it if he/she

  became a better person."

                                                           - a saying that highlights the value of self-improvement being over competition.

Every sport (but also other skills and interests, such as playing a musical instrument, board games, creativity ...) can develop a whole range of personality aspects and is an important tool for human development. In this section, we give space to reflect on the deeper sense of sports and other disciplines, as well as leisure activities, their contribution to human development at many different levels.

Sport is not only about the development of the physical body, but its spiritual and ethical aspects need to be counted as well. Many sport disciplines include or incorporate cultural and moral values of their founders or societies.

Let us mention some of these aspects starting, for example, from building cooperation in team games - football, hockey, basketball. Others can be education to "fair play", honest behaviour, no cheating, ability to admit the mistake and to achieve the results in an honest way. Sport also builds self-control - not fouling, ability to control oneself in case of a loss and ability to congratulate rivals or a better team, learning and analysing actions for improvement. Another one is responsibility - not abusing acquired skills, for example, in combat sports and arts. The last but not the least is protecting others and be more beneficial in serving others, thanks to one’s skills.

Sport develops different skills and challenges people. In addition to building up physical strength, developing techniques, saving and distributing physical strength over time, teaches how to reach perfection through repetitive actions. People practicing sport can learn to overcome stress and fear of height or strain, allowing them to look for ways to cope with challenges. Every sport can develop many aspects of personality and is an important tool for human development.
