Behind the Scenes in Sport
Is sport really just about what is called just like in an exciting tournament or something deep? I believed the latter and to quote a saying I recently just discovered that, “to everything including the simplest of things there is something like a behind or, to be more understandable, more to it”.
S-P-O-R-T. Just hearing and saying the word make our faces smile and hearts dance. Maybe because it not only offers us recreation and amusement but make our competitive minds more alert and alive making each of us tougher in outside but also in inside nature. Literally speaking, sport is defined by Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary as, “physical activity engaged in for pleasure”.
Sport had always been part of our life from simple hide-and-seek to the complicated rules of soccer. Every one of us has had different versions in terms of definitions about sport. Nevertheless, it’s still the same but sport for me, has more to it as I quoted earlier. Activities that we are engaged in sport events or just simple sport are important but more important is the character and values that we learned in, during, and after sport.
Amazing and wonderful characters in sports are admired and modeled by all together with respectable and proper values as we can obviously see and so are my opinions. So you, dear reader, should know that sport is more than what you think like a hidden reason behind a reason, another explanation behind an explanation, or deep mystery behind a one.
Others have viewed sport as a sport not what is behind it and it saddened me to think that so many people have underestimated the powers of observation, which is one of the main fundamental of characters in sport: be an observer. People should pay attention more closely to details not just details but important details. If we were trying to understand what is happening during a sport event and suddenly there’s brawl and rumble, don’t you think we should observe attentively and not just barge in the center of the fight and asks loudly, “what on earth happened??!”.
Ironically, observation is important but so is sportsmanship, which I only often see these days as I, believed that since we became rough competitive players it felt nearly impossible to accept defeat. Sportsmanship is probably the most important since almost all characters and values are combined to form sportsmanship.
I hope that we learned a new meaning, term, or outlook about sport. Sport can be seen not only on the outside surroundings but also in our very soul or individuality wherein our very actions and attitudes proved that sport is more than that. Sport is more than a part of our life; it molded our very life. So you see, dear reader, sport has its behind or, to be more understandable, more to it!
