Sports can be divided according to various aspects. For example, they include land sports, water sports, and aerial sports. They can also be divided into group sports, sports played by groups, and individual sports. There are also summer and winter sports, gentle and dangerous sports, for example, contact sports, which are martial arts such as boxing and karate. There are active sports such as running, climbing, and competitive swimming, as well as sports that are a bit more relaxed, such as golf, Pilates, and yoga. Even our peers with disabilities can play sports, whether individual or team sports. It is up to each individual to decide whether he or she wants to actively engage in sports for health reasons or to lie on the couch and look for reasons not to. Even the severely obese can play sports. For example, they can start swimming, walking, Pilates or yoga, which are not hard on the joints. In short, anyone who wants to can find options.
There are also sports enthusiasts among the visually impaired, such as marathon running or orienteering in the woods. It is beyond my comprehension that a visually impaired person can win at orienteering among able-bodied people. Many things in life, not just sports, depend on how we approach and think. Because if we decide in our heads that we can\’t do it, we probably will, but if we believe that we have a chance to do it, we can do it and beat ourselves.”
Sport is not just about beating others, it is about overcoming ourselves and our limitations. It is about overcoming your own thinking about what you can and cannot do.
