Topic: Some people think that physical strength is important for success in sport, while other people think that mental strength is more important. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

My essay:

People’s opinion differs as to mental strength or physical strength is a vital key for winning of athlete. In my opinion, it is the perfect blend of physical and mental fitness which helps an individual to face the challenges in the game.

To start with, as athletes have a strong and flexible body, several advantages can be gained. First, it allows them to practice difficult techniques. By learning how to use advanced techniques in sports, players can become stronger and help them increase the winning percentage. But advance techniques require much more stamina, muscles and it could be create many injuries such as hamstrings, ankle. Therefore, if athletes do not focus on building these elements above, they do not have enough ability to learn advanced techniques. Second, physical fitness contributes to healthy body systems. In some reachers, it pointed out that sport can help people prevent from many illnesses like heart attack or obesity. As a result, when players are not affected by disease, they can train continuously in order to improve their skills.

On other hand, even though physical strength has a vital role in success, mental stability is equally important. Firstly, mental strength creates a resilient spirit. In training sessions or real matches, athletes often suffered many pains, injuries, which make them easy to give up their career. Therefore, by practicing mental fitness, player can be encouraged to overcome obstacle and keep pursuing their dream. Secondly, mental stability boost self- confidence for sportsperson. In any competition, players always feel nervous, so if they have ability to remain self-confident, they can look back at their best performances and compare these to their worse. From this, identify their own feelings from each performance. When achieving success, their feelings should be different and more positive.

In conclusion, I feel that mental strength is as important as physical strength. The sportsperson should not only work on their physical fitness but also cultivate the right attitude.
