NEW LOOK ON SPORTS

My little work experience is influencing my view on sports. As a consultant I’ve been working in different field from retail to finance and management. I have faced a number of challenges which have nurtured my thoughts towards sport.   I have observed poor time management, lack of team work, lack of competency and disorganization in workplace. I have attempted to figure out the factors that contribute to the occurrence of such situations and lack of sports in early stages of life is one of the strong reasons as to why we have poor labor productivity.

Sports are active in their essence.  Part of my work as a consultant is to activate a dull workplace.  Most of the challenges I pointed out earlier can be treated with sports especially at earlier stages of human growth. I was speaking to my uncle about my new view on sport and he pointed out the importance of sports especially to children. He told me that sports are first activity that animals learn before anything else. I think especially In Tanzania we should learn to let children play, this should be their right. We should make good sporting environment that will make our children fit physically and mentally.

Emphasizing sports in the community benefits the society in several ways. The first and the foremost is preparing an active labor force which is competitive, flexible, disciplined, focused, organized, cooperative and most important a proud society. Lack of sports especially in our schools has made a disgrace to our society. We’ve be performing poorly in international sports such as in Olympics, world cup, even the common wealth games. It’s my belief that if we return sports to school we shall not just be proud of gaining medals in international arenas but also we shall have an active labor force with high productivity.

Lastly to change the situation in workplace, I think all parties in the society from organizations, businesses, politicians and other stakeholders should have a new look on sports. I think alongside the constitutional agenda the sports agenda should be on the platform. Though sports have minimal direct effect it has maximal indirect effect towards the development of the society, therefore it should be regarded very highly. I Hope to see the sports agenda on the 2015 campaigns.
