Unfortunately, the "queen of sports" athletics is gradually fading into the background. Even in bookmakers, you can easily make sure that the main money is now in football. However, athletics has always been, is and will be one of the most rewarding sports. So why is it worth doing athletics and watching athletics? Let's figure it out.
Passion
Any athlete has an inherent passion. And if the passion is correctly managed, then it will only help, and will never interfere.
Breaking your own record or bypassing an opponent are the main principles of any sport. This is what drives all athletes. For amateurs, the strengthening of their own health is also added. But more on that later.
When you cover the distance, or jump farther than ever before, it is an amazing feeling. Imagine that you were given a salary 50 percent more than you expected. The emotions that you will experience are comparable to those of an athlete who has improved his performance. At the same time, although you do not get money for this, most often, you can experience such emotions regularly.
And now, feeling the euphoria of improving your own record, you have the excitement to beat this record again and again. It is an amazing feeling when your workouts are bearing fruit. And you don't have to beat someone. It is important to defeat yourself. Emotions are no less.
Health
Athletics is primarily about strengthening your physical body. Most athletes are strong physically and mentally. They have strong immunity and experience problems with internal organs much less often.
When a person starts to play sports, the feeling of "before" and "after" the start of training makes him go to the stadium again and again. This is the beauty of this sport - health workouts that are addictive in a good way.
Entertainment
Unfortunately, unlike football or hockey, athletics can be spectacular only for those who have practiced this sport themselves. For the rest, most often, athletics as a whole looks like curling, that is, you seem to support your own people, but you don't quite understand what is what. This also applies to the results of athletes and some types of athletics in general. Of course, the majority understands exactly what needs to be done to win. However, only a person who understands a little can understand how much this victory is worth.
But if you know what a 7 meter long jump is for a woman, what is running out 100 meters to a white athlete in 10 seconds. How hard it is to win tactically on 1500 meters, why the leader of the world season at the next competition cannot even make it to the final of the tournament, then everything that happens at the athletics stadium becomes one for you. The German athlete pushed the core over 22 meters, and for you this is not just a figure, but a result that makes your eyes go straight. The Frenchman jumped over Bubka himself in the pole vault. And that's mega cool. All this creates tremendous interest in sports.
But, again, it’s not interesting to watch athletics with beer and chips in front of the TV, if you yourself have never even gone jogging.
Culture
I already wrote an article on the topic where to send the child, where he said that among the majority of athletes, athletes are very cultured people. They are less aggressive and quick-tempered, although they come across such, but rarely. They try not to make scandals and prove everything not in interviews with the yellow press, but on the treadmill or in the sector for jumping or throwing.
When you enter an athletics competition, you will meet people focused on the upcoming tournament. Each of them has the task of squeezing the maximum out of their body. This is the advantage of personal sports over team sports. When only you are responsible for yourself, then the results are completely different. In a team, you can always hide behind someone. In athletics, this is not given. And that builds character.
Body beauty
I especially take this point apart from my health. Athletics, perhaps with the exception of some types of throwing and pushing, forms very beautiful bodies in women and men. Look at an athletics competition. The chiseled figures of girls and strong bodies of men. It's nice to look at it and it's nice to have such a body yourself.
Everyone is looking for a reason for visiting a sports stadium or running a cross. But all of them are united by the desire to develop and improve. This is the main thing that distinguishes sport from any other type of physical activity.
To improve your results in running at medium and long distances, you need to know the basics of running, such as correct breathing, technique, warm-up, the ability to make the correct eyeliner for the day of the competition, do the correct strength work for running and others.
