My Experience in the Importance of Values in Sport

Greetings friend from Hive, I hope you have an excellent weekend, this time I am going to share with you my experience regarding the importance of human values within sport.

Since my childhood I started in sports, specifically in the specialty of athletics, and I learned a series of values that are important to get ahead in a sporting activity, these values such as respect, honesty are practiced daily, however there are people who wishing to obtain a victory like this is cheating and in this way they make fun of others.

On one occasion in a 10km marathon competition, where I participated, my brother and I had an excellent race, out of 200 people who participated in the top ten, it turns out that the technical staff of the event reviewed several runners who came ahead, It turns out that when they asked for their identity document, they did not belong to the category to which they were registered, so they were automatically disqualified for cheating.

After doing the review, I was in first place in the Free category and my brother in second place. Hence the importance of the value of honesty, when we practice a sport, who am I going to deceive, when I get a win, cheating. On the other hand, there must be respect for the other teammates who train, with dedication and perseverance to achieve victory.

Another experience that I have currently seen is that of my son practicing soccer, this type of sport is different from the marathon, since it is done as a team, teamwork is important, where each player fulfills a role so that everyone can achieve success. In one of the games where the team faced each other and lost, one of the children felt very bad because he felt guilty that they lost because of him.

Later, my wife and I oriented him that they had not lost because of him because this sport is played as a team, where each one must contribute their skills to achieve the goal. In this sport, the respect and discipline that players must maintain with their teammates, with their coach, with the referees and also with their representatives who are constantly supporting them is important.

These values must not only be practiced by the players, but also by all those who are immersed in the sport, for example, the referees must be impartial and arbitrate fairly in the game, without any preference according to the rules of soccer, on the other On the other hand, the representatives must also treat their constituents with a lot of love, respect and support so that they are also good athletes and citizens that a country needs to get ahead.

To finalize the values in sport are important so that things are done correctly and athletes are excellent athletes with great human values, they must be instilled within the home so that when these children go outside they maintain those values of respect in other spaces.
