Competition Entry (Free Gym Membership)

To: Sporting Life
From: Anna Luiza

Nowadays, practising a sport is not only a way of being health and having a well-shaped body, but also an easy way of having fun and even relaxing from problems. People find in sports some sort of peace that they aren’t able to find in every-day life, when chaotic situations take part. For example, when there was this year’s World Cup, I used to find myself quite sad if I lost a single match. The odd thing is that I’m not a football fan and I even find it boring sometimes, but the time I had to watch the games was the time I had to rest and thing about nothing at all.

In general, sport is about individual achievement, as even the ones that have teams need to have each member of it prepared to make his/her best. The interaction between people will depend on how ready each person is for a particular match or game, otherwise it’ll end up being a big mess. On the other side of the television, watching cheering for the teams, there are us. The influence sports people have by us is huge, as some of us end up idealizing them, seeing them as the most powerful and successful people in the world. That’s not only a question of adoration, but also a kind of obsession that usually has to do with how the media “builds” those sports people. Wanting to become the best footballer or the fastest swimmer is nothing but the way we find to get near to our “sport idols”. And that’s also why sport and fitness centres are so popular: because they represent another aspect in which we can succeed to get this (metaphorical) medal in life of being just like our idols.

To conclude, sport is something essencial to every human being. To practise it in a health way will only add benefits to people. And that’s why I want to get the free membership for one year; to be bodily and mentally vigorous, free from disease and happy with who I am.
