Dear Parent,

Introduce me to sports even if I think I don’t like them. They could end up empowering me and keeping me healthy for life.

Sincerely,A child.

Most Indians go into education. Their parents just push them into education like parents in Australia push them into sports.

- Mahesh Bhupati

Is winning important? Of course it is, but values such as fairness, sportsmanship, discipline and determination are more important in the long run than winning. We suffer for a while after a painful loss, but the character growth that is learnt from competition stays around for life.
