Be indoor or outdoor, one of the passion that people have is ‘Sports’. Sport just doesn’t include the factors of fun and entertainment but brings in a much more disciplined approach in life.

So what can sports offer us?

Health Benefits:
One of the preliminary benefits associated mainly with outdoor sports like football and swimming is great health.  In recent times, the reliability and over dependency on technology has increased health problems like obesity manifold in the society. Obesity in return gives call to hypertension, diabetes and various other heart diseases. In order to get rid of these diseases, a change is lifestyle is a must. 

Lifestyle and routine change does not imply doing manual labour for the task which can be done easily by few clicks over the system through internet but it means including the recreation activities in life in one or other way. It is important to note that even video games are a part of sports but they should not be confused with the word recreation activities as here we emphasize on physical activities. Video games are beneficial for growth of mind; however growth of body depends on the work-out that it becomes used to. The most sensible reasoning of indulging in outdoor games is to give proper exercise to body. 

Sports Equipments
Mental strength
We talked about sports like ‘video-games’ in above point. Though video games do not have any direct effect on physical strength but they do help to strengthen the mind.  Where some of the video games develop the quick decision making capabilities, few other like the quizzical video games keep the mind of a person very active and at times help to build in the strong logical and reasoning power. Some of the outdoor games like ‘Soccer’ provide a perfect blend of physical fitness and mental alertness.

Socializing
If you think that only social media helps to build friendship and bonding than you are partially true as social media is just one place to meet people, there are other areas too.  Games field are one of the best avenues to gain new contacts. It is an arena where one can meet people from different places. Sports provide an opportunity of bonding with like minded people.

Social virtues
Good and effective communication, team work and patience are few of the social virtues and lifelong skills which can be well learnt from any sports. In most of the games, it is the team work which leads to win. One can learn the importance of team work from sports and apply it in any corporate field for success. Patience and tolerance keeps the mind in peace and thus helps the positivity in life to grow.

Tennis
Boost confidence
Regular practice in sports helps to improve the confidence level in players. Defeats at times also teach valuable lessons. Will power, determination and discipline can be well learnt by playing games.

Money and Fame
Looking at the success of professional players, the relation of money and fame to the sports cannot be ignored. A game started as a hobby can turn into ones likeable profession. Travel all around the places is complementary in sports like cricket and tennis.

The above points are not enough to stress on all the importance that sports have. The field of sports touches many other areas like hard work, time management and healthy competitive spirits.

If realizing the significance of sports is important, so is to know the importance of sports equipments. A game with inadequate equipment is neither fun nor profession. You cannot indulge in a game like football without a football! If you are looking to play seriously, you also need a pair of good quality sports shoes and goal post on both sides of playground and if football is to be played on a national or international level and not just among a group of friends. Having a proper sports dress like t-shirts and shorts also become important. Similarly in tennis, you need to get a good tennis racket else the game can cause injury to hands. Talk about cricket, the need for quality sports equipment arises in plenty. For example, bat, ball, gloves, pads, wickets and helmet being the most common requirement.

Quality sports equipments ensure safety of players which is over and above the fun and excitement of games.
