Sport in My Life
Sport has always been the essential part of a healthy mankind
life. To my mind it helps us to keep our body strong, active
and fit. And it also makes our personality disciplined,
organized and optimistic. Fortunately sport is getting more
popular in our country. Most people go to the gym several
times a week, they are keen on jogging, playing football,
hockey, volleyball, basketball or tennis. Quite a lot of people
go regularly to swimming-pools, ski-centers and skating-
rinks.
It’s funny but there are some people who spend most of the
time in front of TV watching football channels or figure-
skating championships, for example. And they proudly call
themselves devoted sportsmen. I think they are just passive
amateurs and fans of some sports teams. And it goes without
saying that watching sports events and doing sports are not
the same things at all.
As for me, I’ve been fond of sports activities since my
childhood. To tell the truth I prefer team games because I like
feeling support of my partners in such games. Volleyball is my
favorite. You have to be fast and give unexpected balls to
your competitors on the other side of the net. At school I was
the captain of our volleyball team and we took part in our city
matches. I enjoyed the atmosphere of competitions and the
sweet taste of our victories. Sometimes we lost, of course,
but we tried to accept our defeat with dignity. And now when
summer comes we often play beach volleyball.
I really can’t imagine my way of life without sport. I like
regular training. It keeps my body healthy and young.
