Some people believe that physical fitness of strong individuals and teams is the reason for most sports achievements. Others, however, think that mental attitude is more important. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Physical fitness and mental attitude is important for everyone, but there is a profound controversy about what can fetch success in sports as some believe that it is physical robustness, while others think it is the strong perseverance that makes a sports practitioner triumphant. I would like to discuss both the views in the below paragraphs.
To start with, a physically fit person can invest himself completely in the sport to achieve victory. Their performance looks extraordinary, when they possess stamina to endure the stress of a game. Therefore, they have to focus on their physical abilities. For example, in a cricket match a team almost near to victory faced a defeat due to their outstanding players being either tired or injured.
On the other hand, a strong resolve is equally important to physical fitness, as if a sports person is not able to concentrate on the game, they cannot strategies and time their actions well, adn as a result they - if they playing an individual sport, or the whole team - if it a team sport - suffers. Positive attitude is thus needed in the game to achieve the goal. It has been often experienced that while performing in demanding conditions - such as facing nail biting finish, trying to live up to expectations of the fans, or playing against a strong rival - many buckle under pressure and tend to fail at crucial junctures, and bow out cheaply. This has often been experienced across various sporting disciplines where the best players could not perform due to this stress.
In the end, I would like to conclude that it is mandatory to be fit both mentally and physically.both are equally important to the team to achieve a goal .A positive attitude towards the game and a body fit player can only make a good difference in the game.
