Eloquent Books Complementary Effects of Sport on Health

The keen spirit of competition between sporting groups and individuals, plus the need for accepting the results of exercise and the subsequent crowning of the winner or winners demand cultivation of an attitude of dignified triumph or defeat and fair play. These are important qualities that sport inculcates in sportsmen and women. These benefits are not confined just to sportsmen; they extend to their supporters and to the community at large. Therefore, it isn't surprising that leadership in our work, school and communities is often directed towards leadership in sport. Consequently, the importance of sports in life and society is an important subject and this is the reason why it is discussed in depth in this book.
