April 6th , 1945 was that Day
The World War was over and the entire youth of the World was completely lost about it's future especially those for whom Sports was the BREAD-AND-BUTTER . What would be their future like, and where from the NEXT meal would come was the general question asked by one and sundry.
To galvanise the YOUTH of the World and to revive and rekindle their HOPES the United Nation Organisation on April 6th 1945 put a plan to amalgamate the Youths into Sports for community development and it was on April 15th 1945 that the UNO declared upon that the World International Sports Day would be celebrated every year on April 6th but the date of it being laid into it's celebration would be April 15th every year.
This article completely discusses in brief all about the modalities and the inputs that the UNO has put into the WORLD INTERNATIONAL SPORTS FOUNDATION DAY in terms of it's celebration.
The growing popularity of computer, video games and television makes the children very inactive in their lifestyles. The time spent in these things may be spent in some physical activities. Parents should be a role model for their children. If the parents are looking very active, the children are more likely to be more active and will stay active for the rest of their life.
Participation in Sports : A Sort Of A
Medicinal Benefit
Participation in sports and other physical activities can have
many benefits for children. Participation in organised sports offers the chance
for youth to enhance their physical and social skills. A balance should be
maintained that matches the child’s maturity, skills, and their interests with
their sports participation. Sports offer children a change from the monotony of their daily life. It is also a
useful means of entertainment and physical activity for them.
The
Importance Of Sports In Life
The importance of sports in the life of a young student is
invaluable and goes much further than the basic answer that “it keeps kids off the streets.”
It does in fact keep kids off the streets, but it also instils lessons that are
essential in the life of a student athlete. Sports play a pivotal role in the
makeup of a young athlete, especially in the middle school to high school years
where student athletes are much more mature and mentally developed. Where else
can a young, impressionable youth learn values like discipline, responsibility, self-confidence, sacrifice, and
accountability?
The first thing they need is a good core of coaches that
understand the great responsibility that is placed upon their shoulders to help
shape and prepare these student athletes not only in sports, but in their
everyday lives. Yes, I did say coaches, because it is a responsibility that
lies on the shoulders of more than one person and it is going to take more than
one person to help lead these student athletes to success.
Coach
: Important and Necessity
The second component also involves the coaches: It is the
ability to capture the admiration and the trust of the athletes. This is
crucial because if you can capture a person’s admiration and trust you can
motivate them to perform at a higher
level not only in sports, but also in their own lives. If you can get
the athletes to believe in you and your philosophies you can begin to see
significant changes in grades and behaviour. It all starts with coaches that
have a plan and methodology behind the principles they are teaching. There is a
great responsibility on the coaches to help young student athletes make a
smooth transition into society.

The third and I believe the most crucial of all is the support
that comes from the community, and administration. This is very important
because student athletes need to know they are appreciated and there is no
greater way than for the community, booster club, and commissioners/treasurers
to show that appreciation than to get involved in youth athletics. In order to
accomplish this, it’s going to take investment and the most valuable
investments are money and time. The more invested, the better the results. I
can attest that there is no greater investment than the future of our young
student athletes.

The fourth reason is that sports and games are the ways of
enhancing the children’s mental and physical growth. Sports help them in
character building and provides them energy and strength. A healthy diet and an
active lifestyle will bring good results in the children’s lifestyle, minds and
bodies. The recreational activities eliminate the unhealthy habits of the
children that may lead them to diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure,
heart disease, joint pain, strokes and other serious diseases. When students
are physically fit, they will achieve more academically.
Games
& Sports : The Ingredient Of Development & Success
Sport develops a sense of friendliness among the children and
develop their team spirit. It helps children to develop mental and physical
toughness. Sport shapes their body and make it strong and active. Children
should actively participate in sports to avoid being tired and lethargy. This
is because sports improve their blood circulation and their physical
well-being.

Education
: Incomplete Without Sports
Last but not least, sport also eliminates mental exhaustion of
children. Education is incomplete without sports. These days sports are an
integral part of the education. In schools, children are taught some sort of
games in very early stages to keep their value in life. College sports are also
a part of academic curricula. Research
has shown that in a public school classroom, half of the students are
overweight. There is a lot of improvement in poor food quality, culture
of over-eating, and inactive lifestyles. Hence
sports education is very much essential for today’s youthful generation.
Running, walking and talking throughout the day make the children physically
active. Sports infrastructure in
villages are being developed everywhere to have great value in life of people.
