There are diverse national and international events which take participants to different locations so as to partake in them. Casting my my mind back to when I just concluded my secondary school education, I had the passion to go into sporting fully so I began going to the state stadium with my friends for a daily practice. Shortly after that, I shared my intention with my mother and she seriously discouraged me by saying she also wanted to go into sporting fully time but her husband didn't allow her to do that so she won't allow me either.
That was not a happy saying for me because I was already trying to build a career around that. At last I had to give in to her desires and continue with other pursuit. But looking at how well those who have gone far in this career many parents will wish for their wards to be in line with it too. I remember one of my class mate who traveled to different nations of the world just as a result of sports.
There are different careers that exists in this one and all of them are important in one way or the other. There are different sphere of influence for every career that exists in this world. Sporting activities requires a lot of engagements and to make it more enticing people have to be creative with it.
In as much as it is a way of engagements we just have to be careful not to exalt one activity more than the others. I remember the last time the women won the cup that the president made a big promise to them which was so out of place for me. Some of the activities are truly a waste of time and resources because for my country, there are lots of careers in my nation which needs lot of attention. The health sector in my nation needs serious attention because most of the top government officials don't venture to use these facilities because they know how bad they have left them. So instead of pushing more for most of the events they participate in is it not better to use the money for to develop the country.
Now after the huge sum of money is paid for the different countries to participate in these competitions the participants are also paid so much, so this has brought about much competition among people in the country. Now to be in a recognized team people pay so dearly and people go to any length not minding the consequences so as to be in a recognized team.
I just feel that some of these sporting activities should be devalued so it will be like any other career. What I mean by this is for it to look less active to the common man. I heard of a boy who lost his life in process of practice in the field because of a minor injury. The story have it that the boy was targeted because he was so talented. That boys death left a big mark because he was sported to have a good start in that field. One the career is seen as any other good career the rush will be reduced drastically.
This is what I think on this topic. Thank you so much for reading and do have a blessed weekend
