Sports is one aspect that you can truly analyze one's character. Some people play sports to win, nothing other than victory is acceptable and so they end up being really sore and sour when they lose. Some people play sports with a positive spirit; always encouraging the other team-mates and these are the people who truly enjoy sports. One will like playing with the latter..wouldn't you? I'm not sure how to describe this, but sports bond people together in a special manner. It's just...special, unique. It's just amazing how God designed sports. :)
This - sports, have been a big part of my life in Uni.. to train and to practice for sports..maybe because I love sports. The thought of having a time to relax after clinics at 5pm lights up my day. Of course, it's the sports fanatics who played along with me that made this even more enjoyable. We play whether it rains or shines; we play with students of other faculties; we play even more during study week before exams.
I believe it doesn't have to be a choice between studies or sports, it can be both! :) That's entirely based on my own conviction. :P
