A Career in Sports

I will advice a student to make a career in sports. There are many options for people who want to make a career in sports. Examples of such careers are as follows-
  • Exercise physiologist
  • Fitness center manager
  • Secondary school P.E. teacher
  • Sports and exercise psychologist
  • Sports administrator
  • Sports coach
  • Government sports development officers
  • Sports therapists
  • Event organizers
  • Health promotion specialist
  • Higher school lecturers
  • Outdoor activities/ Education managers
There are many sports educational and physical education courses in India. Training in courses in popular sports from the leading sports education institutions in India and at international levels.

After schooling, kids think about their careers in the different fields of sports. As they reach the level of being a national and international player they stop playing. So it's our request to them to not stop playing. Manage your time properly. For example, practice for at least one and a half hour or join a fitness club to maintain your level of fitness. Some students do not opt to make physical education as a profession because they don't find it very paying. There are some institutions to counsel such students.

as a healthy person will be alert, energetic and confident to carry out daily activities without feeling tired or exhausted.

In sports character, value, physical and mental strength are challenged in a short span of time.Sports can tell us a lot about ourselves as individuals and as a society.
India's youth needs a lot of encouragement to achieve excellence in sports-firstly from the parents. Secondly-from the educational institution and thirdly- from the sponsors and the last but not the least from the provincial and the Central government.
Very few of our preset day educational institutions are having playgrounds attached to them.Now-a-days the children are over-burdened with homework so much so that they need to rush home to finish their homework. they hardly find time for playing. In the college there is great competition to score well in 90's and then to prepare for the entrance exams for professional courses. we need to change this situation. The school curriculum needs to be amended and sports should me made compulsory.
The challenge is not simply to build sports facilities but to utilize them. It is also to offer long term pathways that will help young people continue playing sports into adulthood. the 2 best things that will encourage children for participating in play ground activities are:
  1. Motivation of the child.
  2. Valuing those things and considering them as important or useful.
We need to provide situations where children can develop and demonstrate real competence in performing meaningful and moderately difficult skills.

Teachers should find out what should be considered important on a particular child's playground, then teach that child the exact skills needed in order to participate actively on that playground.
    To help the children develop performance skills, you should equip each child with knowledge with the basic rules and strategies of typical playground games. We may be able to  influence the value of a skill by emphasizing its importance to the child.  this can be done by providing models, demonstrations by the teacher in order to make them value it and simply telling a child that it is important.
     Giving children a chance to privately practice skills that they are struggling with is a great way to help them to get better using these skills.
