When people hear the word 'sport', they often think about health. Of course, following a diet and training in the gym help you to keep fit and healthy. However, sport is so much more than that. Firstly, it is a lifestyle full of discipline and often competition. If you want to be an excellent athlete, you need to look after your body. You also have to be well-organised and often travel a lot. Secondly, many athletes have a true passion for the sport they do or play, a strong belief in themselves and a great wish to win. That way they are ready to compete and become the best. Finally, it is important to understand your competitors (the players or teams against whom you compete) well so that you know what they can or cannot do. All in all, not only does sport include the way you look and feel, but it also is about how you live and think.
