Sport

Some people believe that to be successful at a sport you need a natural ability and others think that hard work and practice can make you successful. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

                       Sport is any type of physical activity, like a game, that we partake in to improve or maintain our physical ability and skills but also to have fun and entertain people who watch us play it. It is also played for competitions. There are different kinds of sports on countries. Some vary on the seasons like winter sports and summer sports, and some vary on where and what sport we play like water sports that is played on water. Sport is important because it can help us to improve our physical health. Sports help us to meet new people and to have new friendships. Sports can bring us happiness. it is a good way of losing weight and to make our muscles stronger. It can also help us to have a good sleep at night and to have a good mental health as well. Some people gain fame and wealth because of sports.

                           Some people believe that we should have natural abilities to be successful at sports. Natural abilities can be born skills and capabilities within that person. It can be a born talent that can make a specific thing easier for that person to do. For example, if a person is tall enough to reach a hoop in basketball or any other sport like it, he/she is good at scoring goals. If a person is flexible, he/she can be good at gymnastics.  A natural talent can be genetic. If the parents like a certain type of sport, their child could like it too and they will be good at it. If a parent is good at a specific sport, their kid can be good at it too or at least be interested in it. The main advantage of being naturally good at a sport is, that person can be keen on it and won’t need any special kind of training like the others, also can be advance in it and pickup skills quite easily. Players who have natural abilities could beat anyone with the born skill they have.

                           Even some people believe in natural abilities, rest believe in hard work and practice to be successful at sports. Working hard and practicing something can make you better at something. It is the most preferred way and most tried way that people have done to get better at something. Working hard can show determination. It can show that you are really into the sport, and you want to succeed in it. Practicing can show that you are trying to improve your skills in a sport and if you keep practicing and practicing you will be great at it. But this does require a lot and I mean a lot of work. Working hard is dealing in a great amount of work endurance. To sharpen your skills, you may have to take some time. When we have a determined mind and put our heart and soul into something we want to do, in this case a sport, we are bound to do it successfully. But we shouldn’t continue trying something that we may not be good at, something we weren’t made for. Just because someone is good at something doesn’t mean they like it. If we work hard and practice, we can realize our capabilities and make us achieve our goals.

                           The way I prefer of being good in sport is being born to do it as then we don’t have to put in much effort to do it and in the other hand working hard and practicing is the ideal way of doing something as it can help us to improve our skills. So, I encourage everyone to identify your natural skills, work hard and practice more and more to be successful at your sport. Good luck.
