The Importance of Sports & Physical Fitness in Students
“Sports build good habits, confidence, and discipline in students. They make players into community leaders and teach them how to strive for a goal, handle mistakes, and cherish growth opportunities.” -Julie Foudy
Few children show remarkable field talent and sportsmanship. Recognizing their ability is the responsibility of the coach and benefits of sports for students is critical in Siddhartha Public School. All children are nurtured equally in the expansive grounds and sports fields. It is a dream for focused children to represent their school, state and later their countries in high ranking and competitive events. If such students get proper training at the right time, they can carve a good career later in life. Sports benefit all children for academic and athletic development. Sports are a significant aspect of growth and development of the child’s personality. It is an integral part of the school’s core curriculum. We are keen on producing talents and sports stars like P V Sindhu, Sania Mirza, Saina Nehwal, Azhar, V V S Laxman, P. Gopichand, and Mir Khasim Ali.
