What Does Sport Mean To You?
What does sport mean to you? I joined in a meeting yesterday, where we were asked, what does sport mean to you? Straight away, whenever I am asked this, I will reply I do it for my mental health then physical. They go hand in hand really. Someone else however, answered with, it means socialising, connection, bringing people together, being part of a community. My reaction was, wow, isn’t that amazing, they do sport to socialise. As I have always labelled myself as an introvert, this just always amazes me. I have always chosen sports that I can do by myself (which started from fear of judgement), running, the gym, yoga at home. Whenever I stop to really think about it, I realise how much I love the connection sport brought me, even those sports you do alone. You may be running solo but give that nod and smile to a passing runner or you may swap advice with other runners online. In the gym, you may say hello to the other members that are there the same time...
