Introduction

What role does sport play in a person's life? All over the world, people see it differently. Some are very cool about sports (some even consider it a waste of time). Other people understand the meaning of sports and, fortunately, there are more of them than the first. Moreover, each of them may have a different attitude to sports: someone prefers to watch it on TV, someone prefers to engage in some kind of sport or general physical training, but for some, sport is a means of subsistence. Among the latter can be active athletes, coaches, doctors, directors of sports societies, trustees of sports, etc. And each of them contributes to the development of sports on our planet.
Sport has amazing properties. It can unite people, acquaint them with each other, in most cases, sport strengthens the health, character and even mental abilities of people who are engaged in it, develops in them such skills as speed, agility, reaction, coordination, endurance, patience and strength. Sport makes people more resistant to negative environmental factors. It often brings people a lot of positive emotions, for example, when a favorite team wins or when a person achieves some result in it.
A person always tries to simplify his life. Physical labor ceases to be important for him in connection with the development of technology. A person gradually loses the physical potential inherent in him, becoming decrepit compared to his distant ancestors. It can be very badly affected by temptations such as alcohol, tobacco and drugs. Sport is the opposite of these evil factors and serves as an alternative that will prevent a person from becoming an alcoholic, smoker and drug addict. The role of sport in our lives is very great.
