Sports for Life

by Tan Yew Wei on January 26, 2010

All too often we see fitness enthusiasts recommending dedication to a certain lifestyle.

But their missing the point.

The point is: The Goal of Sports training is to become good at the sport, Not to get healthy [1]

Remember that, and never claim that your sport is the path to being healthy. There are other ways to be ‘healthy’, taking up a sport happens to be one of them, but certainly not for everyone.

Recognise the disconnect, and realise that more often than not, good health is needed to perform well in a sport, not the other way round, and with the nice side effect of improved fitness.

Dedication
