Conclusion
At last, I just want to, conclude that with hard work and dedication a student can be transformed as a successful sportsman. If you really feel that you have the calibre than you just require dedication and sincere efforts to pursue your dreams. Many sports person who has done wonders in their field of sports have a lot of experiences to share such as Sachin Tendulkar in cricket, P.V.Sindhu badminton Leander Paes in tennis and the list goes on and on. Your favourite sport or sportsperson may vary but one thing which remains common is their hard work, devotion, discipline and sincere desire to pursue dreams to reality. In the end, remember " All study and no play makes Jack a dull boy and that education without sports is incomplete.
Holistic development of a student is possible only when he is physically fit and emotionally balanced and this is achieved through sports.
