Sports have a very deep relation with discipline because one cannot achieve victory without discipline in sports. Sports causes development in the behaviour of player/sportsperson. Discipline plays an important role in building up the character of a player and without discipline, a good character cannot be developed. Lack of discipline causes several problems in the life of a player which further gets tough for the player to overcome.
No example can be better than that of the ‘Nature’, everything is disciplined as far as the functioning of Nature is concerned. For example; the sunrise and sunset always occur timely and with strict discipline; earth revolves around the sun with a fixed speed and time, likewise, there must be a proper and strict discipline in the life of an individual as well.
If an individual wants to become a successful player, he/she should practice discipline right from childhood because discipline can be developed aptly in one’s childhood. Sports teach discipline to the player in a way because sports demand obedience, co-operation, honesty, peace of mind and responsibility, which in turn brings discipline in the life of a player. It can be concluded that discipline is the key to success, and discipline can be easily achieved through sports.
