THE POWER OF SPORTING ACTIVITIES

As a result of The Power of Sports I have been taught so many life lessons.

The Power of Sports is definitely something that has grabbed my attention ever since I started to get seriously involved in Football and Athletics.but mainly football.at an early age. Note: at an early age, is my way of saying that it was some time ago.to such an extent that I am even struggling to remember who were the top football players of that time.LOL.only joking, HONEST!.just don't ask me to name any names.

I have some early memories of playing football and realizing the power of sports.one of which was playing footie with the other boys in the neighborhood - at the top of my road in a place affectionately known as "The Square".Though these were not my initial memories of playing football.they are quite extremely important memories as these were my grounding in how to work within teams of varying abilities (from the bad footballers to the best Ballers).my ability laid somewhere in the middle.and that in itself was a great thing because it meant that I was able to hold my own within the group, but also strive to be as good as the better players.I always observed them and attempted to do what they did on the "pitch".well, that's slightly misleading, it wasn't really a pitch, more a concrete surface, with milk crates as goals.but this is a huge lesson in life, learn from the "BEST/EXPERTS".and do what they do!.WOW.that's one seriously powerful lesson!..

Now that's proof that The Power of Sports can be applied to anything in life.

The next stage from this not so organized sporting activity at the top of the road lead to the more ordered school activities.these were a great break from what seemed like the trauma of school life.and this is where I was taught the power of sports in the producing of leaders."team captains".the importance of structure."team positions" instead of the free for all which was "the square".and also the learning of roles and responsibilities.

You notice at no time have I mentioned the word fun.as there was no fun involved, because I was all about being victorious.well really that's not strictly true.the sports part was all about winning.the fun aspect was hanging out with team mates for a little longer than the normal school day.and now that I remember these times, they were my initial introduction to the power of sports in relation to networking...meeting and interacting with people outside the normal setting. This allowed me to connect with school mates in a completely different manner.in a more free flowing and relaxed style.

.at school this just meant that we would do something silly like play "knock down ginger" on the way home.(Google this game if you don't know what it is).granted, not the most constructive activity, but fun nevertheless.and possibly why I'm still friends with guys and girls from school to this day.because we liked each others company and were and still are able to have fun together.something that potentially I wouldn't have found out about at such an early age without the power of sports.

The power of sports or social type activities has been a major part of my life throughout school (as described above), University and also now during my working life. Sports has the power to draw all types of people together.it produces a camaraderie which potentially wouldn't exist without the love of a common team.or a common sporting personality.or the appreciation of a specific skill-set.

From football to fishing to swimming to athletics to Insane training workouts (.a future blog post).the power of sports to unite and build bridges/relationships is amazing, not to mention the emotional roller coaster a fan is put through when they follow a team for the majority of their life.I am happy that I have been involved in sports or sporting type events since an early age.

I am now living my sporting life through every sporting activity on T.V.the actual taking part Sports has reduced, but I am always up for a kick around in the park and re-living my days of stardom.I forget to mention that sports and how good people are at them is a matter of opinion.I am fairly sure that some people's interpretation of my ability at various sports would be different to mine.another cool thing about the power of sports, is that it permits you to dream.

If you are not taking part in sports, I would really encourage you to get involved in some form of sporting activity. There is a sport for every age and every level of fitness, that's the greatness and The Power of Sports.
