Sports are one of the most important areas in which your personality develops holistically. Playing sports not only develops your character but also shapes your lifelong perspective of a successful winning strategy in the face of life’s challenges. That winning strategy is responsible for succeeding in your personal and professional spheres.
Sports instill numerous profound qualities in you, such as inner strength, endurance, stamina, discipline, team spirit, sportsmanship, and looking at everything with a positive attitude—an attitude of living beyond the basic instinct of winning and fear of losing—playing with complete intensity and focus within the single moment; thus living in the moment, moment-by-moment, one moment at a time.
In modern times, sports have become a great platform where people from all walks of life find their talents nurtured, nourished, developed, and recognized on the local, national, and international levels. According to Sports Global Market Report 2023, the global sports industry has now achieved a revenue of $512.14 billion (2023). And as per the Sports Calling and Sport Collective report, around twelve million people operate in sports, half of which are employed in various sports businesses like manufacturing clothing, accessories, and equipment.
In this regard, India’s century-old sports goods industry is now recognized as one of the leading players in the global market. As per IBEF report, the Indian sports goods industry employs over five lakh people, with many internationally renowned Sports Goods Brands emerging from the country.
