“Healthy as an ox” – a saying that always rings true, especially for young children. So how can we ensure our kids are “healthy as an ox”? Physical education is one of the key solutions. Beyond physical training, sports also help children develop invaluable character traits. Let’s explore 5 fundamental personalities children develop through sports with HOC LAM!
Discipline – The Foundation for All Success
Our elders often teach, “Patience can turn an iron bar into a needle.” The same holds true in sports; without perseverance and discipline, achieving results is challenging. Adhering to training schedules and following coaches’ instructions helps children build discipline, the cornerstone of all success in life. Imagine a playful, lazy boy who dislikes training. Can he overcome difficult exercises or long runs? The answer is definitely no.
Children learning physical education develop discipline
Team Spirit – The Power of Unity
Many sports require coordination and support among team members. From folk games like tug-of-war and jump rope to soccer and volleyball, children learn teamwork, sharing, and helping each other. Team spirit not only helps children win competitions but also serves as a valuable asset for integrating into the community and building positive relationships later in life. Dr. Nguyen Thi Lan, an education expert at Hanoi National University of Education, in her book “Educating Life Skills for Children,” also emphasizes the importance of team spirit in children’s comprehensive development.
Confidence – Overcoming Challenges
Each exercise and new movement is a challenge for children. Overcoming these challenges boosts their self-confidence. This belief will extend to other areas of life, helping children bravely face difficulties and embrace challenges. Consider the story of Minh, a shy boy afraid of crowds. After learning martial arts, Minh became much more confident and daring. Now, Minh not only speaks up confidently in class but also actively participates in extracurricular activities.
Perseverance – Never Give Up
“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” – as the saying goes. In sports, victory isn’t always guaranteed. There will be times when children stumble and fail. But what’s important is learning to get up and keep trying. Perseverance and not giving up are precious lessons that sports provide. Professor Tran Van Nam, in his book “Sports and Personality,” states: “Perseverance is the key that unlocks the door to success.”
Honesty – Fair Play
Sports are not just about competition but also about sportsmanship and fair play. Children need to learn to respect the rules of the game and respect their opponents. A dishonest victory is meaningless. This is a beautiful aspect of sports culture that we need to instill in our children.
According to Vietnamese spiritual beliefs, practicing health is also a positive way to welcome good things and luck. A healthy body helps maintain a clear and sharp mind, thereby making sound decisions in life.
