My favorite Sports
Sports has always been part of my lifestyle and hobbies right from childhood till date, that is to say I love sports very much, my favorite sports includes.....
Football
Football, also called soccer, is a game involving two teams of 11 players who try to maneuver and put the ball into the other team's goal post without using their hands or arms, which is usually 45min first half and 45min second half making it the total of 90mins in a game unless extra which usually extend the timing.
Basketball
Basketball according to Britannica website, is a Court game between two teams of five players. They score by tossing, or “shooting,” an inflated ball through a raised hoop, or “basket,” located in their opponent's end of the court. A goal is worth two points, three if shot from outside a specified limit.
Benefits of Sports
There are some many benefits of sports which I will be listing out some of them now...
- Sport can provide mental and social health benefits when put in practice that's regular sports time.
- sports teaches and gives us a good discipline and skills which is very beneficial to our life.
- sports brings about socialization among different, that's to say with sports you can be able to know and make new friends and colleagues .
- sports reduces and high blood pressure and at the same time boost our immune system
- Regular body exercise improves our energy levels.
- sports provides employment opportunities for some many mostly the youths which helps reduce the level of unemployment in our nation.
challenges and competitions involving local, national and international sports communities.
Despite all the benefit and advantages of sports there are still some challenges involved in it, which are...
- high costs associated with stadiums and other infrastructure has been the reason why many sports activities is not growing
- the impact of gambling on the industry has become a challenging to sports because many people has become addicted to it which is not really helping matter but ruining our community instead.
- poverty and illiteracy is among the problem sports community are facing because many talented people are out there who are not educated and some don't have money to sponsor themselves through the process.
- Sports at times leads to prejudice and discrimination just like during the time of Racism "black lives matters" where some blacks were discriminated.
